Apple AirPods Pro free repair or replacement now valid for three years, find out if you are eligible
India Today
Apple will repair or replace your AirPods Pro for free for three years now but only on two conditions.
Apple has extended the repair program validity on the AirPods Pro units that have issues with noise cancellation or static. Under this program, affected users can get their AirPods Pro repaired or replaced for free anytime within two years, but with the latest extension, it is three years now after the sale. The change in the repair program’s validity was spotted by Reddit users on the Apple support page and they claim the extension may have been announced at the beginning of October.
The AirPods Pro repair program was originally introduced back in October 2020, only a year after the most expensive earbuds from Apple arrived in 2019. The purpose of this program is to cover the defective AirPods Pro beyond the standard warranty period, which is why Apple announced the programme just when the warranty on the AirPods Pro was expiring. But with the extension, the AirPods Pro bought back in 2019 are now covered till October 2022, while those bought later are going to have coverage for more years.
