IPhone 8 Glass Design Preview After New Leak
Stephanie Dejoode
Just happened to me yesterday, it wasn't even a swim, a few seconds after entering the pool and it blacked out (and I made sure the water lock was on before anywhere near the water). Went to the Apple store and was shown the T&C saying they don't cover "water spill" or "submersion".
If I want to send in for a check and repair under warranty, and they conclude that the device was indeed spoilt due to a water leakage issue, they will return it unfixed and I have to pay a diagnostic fee that is half the price of the watch [Clause 1.8 from Legal - Repair Terms and Conditions - Apple.] My watch is less than 3 months old, so deteriorating water seal should not be the reason. Still waiting for a response from the services center, but I am pretty shocked by the blatant false advertising and poor quality control.
So I took the watch to an authorised Apple repair centre, They opened the watch and showed the damaged, and its just due to water getting inside, The small circuits and mother board all have corrosion on it and im suggested to either buy a new one or put in a motherboard of another damaged watch which is costing me around INR 7K or around USD 85.
If the watch is water resistant and not water proof then that information should be loud and clear and the Customer should be made aware about it . They should also educate the customer on the life of the "water resistant" adhesive .
Mine is also an SE I went swimming at the lake as I have done in the past, and I always use the water eject button afterward. This time, however, it started randomly activating SOS multiple times, and the screen then turned black. Siri still works, and my watch is connected to my phone and charging. I am hoping it will come back on after a few days if not I will have to go to a repair store.
I have had exactly the saem problem I do not understand how Apple can have swimming as an exercise on the watch but when you swim your watch is destroyed and Apple will not accept any responsibility. Serioulsy looking at other designs for the next purchase.
This is literally the most frustrating thing. I purchased a Garmin in the meantime. Is there an official complaint process for apple for their product? It seems like it's a thing that happens a lot with people.
This happened to me too and my watch is about 2 years old (which I think is still relatively new and shouldn't expect it to stop working?). My screen just went black and wouldn't turn on and now it's in a loop where it's low battery/thermometer icon keeps flashing but nothing really happening.
I'm hoping that mine just comes back after a while if i leave it on charge. Did your watch come back and work properly? If so I won't take it swimming again! I'm considering buying a Garmin just because it seems to be a lot hardier but apple watches are more stylish for sure.
Sounds like your watch has suffered water damage. Your watch is water resistant, not waterproof. This means over time it will most likely leak and cause damage. For this fact, if there is water damage, you are responsible for that, Apple will NOT cover that even if the watch is under warranty.
My watch screen did come back and started working normally until 2 days back when I was in Vietnam where it rained lightly and I was out on the street and thereafter the watch screen has gone dark again...if I click on the buttons I get some random white flashes only on the screen, I have put it on charge and hoping that is will start working again like normal,
but I Don't know why apple is not looking into this, this is a pure manufacturing defect, I think their water seal is a defect and the minutes the watch gets exposed to any moisture or water its stops working
got an m2 MacBook Pro 2022 , the bottom part of the screen just cracked like couple hours ago , no reason (it didn't fall or anything ) , the funny part is I was working and could see cracks forming in-front of my eyes , I mean just bought it couple of months ago , light use only , I mean it this common ??
I am having the same problem. Screen cracked without any obvious reason. I sent it to be repaired paid $750 dollars and it cracked again after 7 days. Trying to get this resolved with Apple. I suspect this is a design flaw. Has Apple publicly acknowledged this? Milo model is a 2020 mac air 13 inch screen. Have they resolved this with later models
We purchased new M2 MacBook air in July. In November, my wife booted up to find the vertical lines on right side of screen. It has hardly been used, let alone abused... Genius bar technician said that even a crumb on the keyboard when closing could cause this. Really? If so, then I think it's arguable this is a design flaw. We've had work horse macs (pro and air) in the past that we've traveled with, used about every day for 8 - 9 years with no special treatment and no problems - ever. Now we're paying $560 to replace the screen on a 4-month old machine that cost $ 1400. We'll be watching for Apple to recognize this issue and make some provision for repairing these machines. In meantime, my advice would be to get apple care + or avoid these retina units until something is done. Very disappointing.
Fix your products Apple! My M2 MBP is only months old. Opend this morning and the screen is cracked in the corner like everyone else. The problem occurs if the corner of the screen is lifted rather than the center. The glass is not strong enough to continuously flex. These are lemons!!!
the other posts here back that up and frankly knowing their are others out there like me getting no help from Apple makes me feel a bit better. I hope by posting here others respond and we can demonstrate a trend
I have been buying Macintosh computers since 1995 and probably spent about $30 - $40,000 total between work and home. I created and implemented entire studios in Macintosh as well as in my home studio as well for television and film production. I consult with several different companies about purchases, and I will not recommend Apple anymore and I will not buy Apple anymore. Their products have become cheap while they are getting more expensive. Thanks for nothing.
I have the same problem. There were two class action suits brought in 2022 and Apple finally settled last year. Apparently Apple made the decision not to change the design of the M2 and it has the same design flaw as the M1. The Mac design is so thin, and the screen so close to the keyboard, that opening and closing the top cover, puts pressure on the display causing it to crack and/or shatter in the corners. Even if Apple were to replace the display at no charge, it will happen again. There are cases of people have had the display changed out more than once only to have happen again. It affects both the Macbook Pro and Air (M1 and M2).
I have had the same problem with my M1 Macbook. Opened it one morning to find lines on the screen. Took it to the Genius Bar to be told that it must have been dropped. I was quite annoyed at his suggestion because I KNOW it hasn't been dropped. It never leaves the house and it has been very well looked after. So disappointed with Apple as this was an expensive purchase for me. They wanted 450.00 to fix it which was too expensive for me so it's just sitting in the back of a cupboard. I will never buy another Macbook.
Any updates on when Apple will address the MAJOR issue of memory leaks ( AGAIN, this happened in Montery also ) on MacOS Sonoma, I have had nothing but crashes caused by memory leaks since upgrading and have several clients with BRAND NEW iMAC's and MACBook Air units with the same issues. This is CRAZY and Apple should have nevre released an OS with this BUG, especially since this is NOT the first time this has been an issue. Is anyone at Apple testing thigns anymore ?
Then I connect my external monitor (Dell UltraSharp 32 6K Monitor - U3224KA - native res i.e. no scaling), do not start anything (especially the buggy DDPM Dell tool), leave it doing nothing over 1 full night and 1 full day and WindowServer process is showing up around 9GB (coming from less than 1GB before when no external monitor was connected).
Because I have the M3 Max with 128Gb, I noticed this when, with my traditional workflow, all my memory tools showed me that the system was using swap, was compressing memory already, and memory pressure was constantly increasing.
