Apple’s “Blank‑Screen Fix” for the Apple Watch Series 6
What’s Going Wrong?
Apple’s latest recall is aimed at a very tiny slice of the 40 mm Apple Watch Series 6 lineup.
A handful of units—those built between April 2021 and September 2021—can suddenly decide to go dark and never wake back up again.
How to Find Out if You’re on the List
If your wrist‑watch has started behaving like an old game‑console stuck on the splash screen, there’s a quick fix.
Head over to Apple’s website and enter your serial number in their handy checker.
If your model is one of the handful flagged for this issue, you can trade it in for a clean, functioning replacement—free of charge.
What the Service Covers
This isn’t just an “extended warranty”; the repair window is a solid two‑year guarantee starting from the very first day you owned it.
If your watch sits in the same brand‑new state as a brand‑new one, it will get a full‑blown swipe‑repair.
If it’s already dented or scratched, Apple will still give you another one—just don’t expect a shiny makeover if it’s already battered.
Bottom Line
It’s a narrow problem but Apple’s heading straight in on it.
Find your serial number, see if you qualify, and let the technicians work their magic.
