Fixed the description of the Ion-X glass of the Apple Watch Sport

glass-watch-grated

One of the specifications of the Apple Watch that was indicated in the description of the product in its Sport model and related to the glass of the same, was the resistance to bumps and scratches of the Ion-X. In the Watch Sport model the crystal is not made of Sapphire as in the Watch or Edition model, so a crystal was advertised scratch and shock resistant, but in the end they had to rectify in the description after losing in court against a client for a lawsuit imposed by a crack in the glass of their Apple Watch Sport.

One of the specifications of this crystal named Ion-X that the Cupertino company highlighted in its description is that it was resistant to scratches and blows, but this time the judge who took the case of the Welshman Gareth Cross, He was right by the phrase: "shock and scratch proof aluminum silicate glass". This phrase is no longer on the Apple website as it has been removed, but you can see it at this direction.

Now what can be read in the description of the crystal is what we read in the image below:

glass-ion-x-1

This means that the Apple Watch Sport with its Ion-X glass is less resistant now than before? Well, in principle the glass is the same and no one can say that this glass is bad, but eliminating this phrase in the product description avoids possible lawsuits similar in this regard. For now and this time, they have paid the plaintiff for a new Apple Watch Sport and the crack, according to the affected party, appeared alone and without taking a hit.

    I have an Apple Watch series 4 Sport 44mm gps, it was bought in March 2019 and paid for additional apple care.
    At this point my Apple Watch has mostly superficial scratches, but that ultimately make them ugly and uncomfortable, my question is: is there not something that can be done in my favor referring to the warranty? Thanks.
