Apple has agreed to pay out $20 million to settle a six-year-old class-action lawsuit that claimed early generation Apple Watches were unsafe due to an issue causing batteries to swell and break critical components. The settlement covers owners of the Original Apple Watch, Series 1 through Series 3 who reported issues related to battery swelling between April 24, 2015, to February 6, 2024. Payments will be issued after the court approves the settlement, but accepting payment waives a user's right to further legal action on this issue.
