Apple iPhone and Apple Watch warranty u-turn means more device droppers will have to pay for their display repairs

IPhone 15 Review.

If you own an iPhone 15 or an Apple Watch Series 9, or indeed any of the older models, you should consider starting to be a little more careful with it. That's our recommendation following reports that getting a broken display repaired could be about to cost more than you expected.

Dropping an iPhone has often proven to be an expensive business if you aren't an AppleCare Plus subscriber, and the same can also be said for Apple's wearables as well. But previously, anyone who found a single hairline crack on either of those devices could be confident that Apple would initiate a repair free of charge via a warranty claim. That, however, is no longer the case.
