Already have a 6 Plus waiting in my room to go in.

Will give you guys a step by step through the process.

I am pretty sure it will be similar with all my interactions with Mac City thus far.

Hi, Please expect 7 to 14 working days, subject to availability of stock.

After about 8 days, receive an email and phone call to come pick it up.

I recently sent my Apple Watch Series 0 due to expanded battery.  Due to apple announcing that they are supporting series 0 and series 1 watches up to 3 years from purchase instead of 1.

Since they dont have anymore series 0 watches, i got a newly refurbished series 1 instead.

Good to be first adopter. lolls.

Where u got that info?
I bought at turn of 0-1
Obviously warranty over right?
So u send in n pay for batt replacement
But bcoz they don have batt for 0 anymore
So gave u refurbished 1 instead?
Good for me to try after that, but what is the batt condition to go for it? Mine not tat bad yet I assume

What info ? Its readily google-able bro.

Series 0 and Series 1 watches warranty has been extended to 3 years due to the known issue of expanding battery smile.gif

I got it replaced for free. No charge.

Ok
How’s the expanded battery like?
Sign n symptom?

The screen pops off the casing . and no matter how much you try to press it back down, it wont go back down.

I.e. Battery expanded beyond the factory limits and damaged the watch & screen.

It will be quite obvious when it happens biggrin.gif

They took in my mother-in-law’s bent 5S without noticing the bend initially too (I complained about a defective screen). So my guess is that the people at the service counter either lack the proper equipment to diagnose defects such as bends and what not or are only instructed to collect the phones with a simple physical eye check for scratches and dents.

thinking of sending wife's phone for batt replacement too...
unfortunately she got into some screen crack lately (both SP and the display)
everything functional though...

there is no chance they will accept for replacement right, given the risk of cracked screen damage further during replacement?
but if i change the display outside (way cheaper than the rate at Machines, etc), would they find out later and void the replacement eligibility just for the display that not from them?

Ya, agree with Mackiddo, more than likely they’ll know about the third party repair on the screen, and it’s stated very clearly to be eligible for the RM129 battery replacement promotion, the phone must not have been repaired outside before.

for a 6, seems not worth it to fix with such a high price for display anymore...
i guess combined cost out there for both would even lower than the value of display @ machines...
so no chance for that "goodies" then...
