Specifically, the lawsuit says Apple Watch may be limited to a variety of models ranging from the Series 3 to the Series 6 because they don’t have enough space to release the battery. Because of the lack of space, even minor battery swelling can be very painful. Those screens are made either of Ion-X glass (aluminum models) or sapphire crystal glass (stainless steel and titanium models) with a razor-sharp edge on all four sides, said the customer in the lawsuit. When exposed, customers claim sharp edges can cause serious injuries; the lawsuit includes a photograph of a deep slash allegedly caused by her Apple Watch Series 3. The lawsuit claims Apple violated the best consumer protection laws by continuing to release watches with the defect. 9to5Macnotes that a similar lawsuit filed against Apple in 2018 was dismissed by a federal judge because the plaintiff failed to identify a specific defect. This lawsuit is probably a one-off attempt to link battery swelling and the defect to this case. This new lawsuit seeks to represent anyone who bought the Apple Watch from the first generation in 2015, and continues until last year. Those 7 still don’t include the Series 7 part.
