Apple emphasised that the repair initiative is part of a global program, ensuring support regardless of where the device was originally purchased.
The service coverage will be valid for up to three years from the date of purchase, offering users ample time to seek assistance if needed.
While the company has remained tight-lipped about the exact technical root of the issue, it appears to be limited in scope, affecting what Apple describes as a "very small percentage" of devices.
Customers are encouraged to back up their data before seeking service and to check their eligibility online prior to visiting a service location.
Devices that meet the criteria will be serviced according to Apple's standard repair protocols.
This move follows a series of recent quality assurance efforts by Apple as it continues to refine and support its lineup of Mac computers powered by its proprietary silicon.

GTA Online Money Fronts update available for pre-load ahead of June 17 release
Source: Rockstar Games Rockstar Games has released the pre-load feature for the upcoming GTA Online: Money Fronts update, which enables console users to download the content early before its official launch on Tuesday, June 17 at 10 AM BST. The pre-load feature spares players from waiting in line at launch and also guarantees seamless access to the new content the moment it becomes available. But the feature is only available on select platforms and with a couple of differences from previous updates. Pre-load now available on PS5 and Xbox pre-launch The Money Fronts update is now live to pre-download on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. The update can be accessed by the player through the console's updates tab, where it will be listed as a "pre-download." Although the update cannot be played until launch, pre-downloading the update means you can dive in as soon as it's live without having to wait. This is the first time Xbox platforms have been added to Rockstar's pre-load release. Microsoft has been piloting this feature for more than a year, and its inclusion here makes convenience available to more players. By contrast, PS4 users are not part of this advance download, a departure from past updates when they were included in the pre-load pool. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo It is not yet known why Rockstar implemented this for this release. File sizes, release time, and what comes next The update is of a varying size on different platforms: PS5: ~3GB Xbox One: ~3.59GB Xbox Series X|S: ~4.66GB PC and PS4 users will only be able to start downloading the update once it goes live on June 17 at 10 AM BST. The PC version can be accessed through Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Rockstar Games Launcher. The PS4 installation also starts at the same time and should turn up in the downloads queue when available. The Money Fronts DLC comes after Rockstar's recent trend of providing pre-loads, which in the past appeared in the form of updates such as San Andreas Mercenaries, The Chop Shop, and Agents of Sabotage. This summer's update also arrives in tandem with the release of a new GTA+ month, so subscribers must redeem existing perks before Tuesday to prevent missing out on bonus money and content. The pre-load for GTA Online: Money Fronts is a nice convenience for console gamers, especially with Xbox support now included for the first time. With the update coming so soon, fans can get ready for seamless entry into the new cars, missions, and content Rockstar will likely provide when it's released on June 17.

When China jailed three people for leaking details of soon-to-be launched Apple gadget
Three Foxconn R&D employees in China were sentenced to prison for leaking details about the iPad 2 before its launch. The employees received sentences ranging from one year to 18 months and were fined between $4,500 and $23,000 for violating trade secrets. The arrests, which took place in December 2010, highlight Apple's aggressive stance on protecting its product secrecy. It also shows how importamt it is for the largest manufacturer of Apple's product to ensure this secrecy around the company's products. The three Foxconn employees reportedly provided digital images of the iPad 2's design to Shenzhen MacTop Electronics, an Apple-compatible accessory manufacturer founded in 2004. In exchange, MacTop paid the employees 20,000 yuan (approximately $3,000) and offered discounts on its products. This allowed MacTop to produce iPad 2 cases ahead of competitors, gaining a market edge. According to Cult of Mac, 'The leaked information gave MacTop a significant head start, showcasing how valuable Apple's trade secrets are in the competitive accessory market.' Apple's strict secrecy policy for its products Despite this high-profile case, leaks of Apple products persist, given the thousands of workers involved in its supply chain, many earning low wages. 'It's actually surprising that more Apple leaks don't surface, considering the scale of their manufacturing operations,' Cult of Mac noted. Apple's secrecy measures have since intensified, including deploying undercover security teams and imposing multimillion-dollar fines on suppliers who fail to safeguard confidential information. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo While Apple CEO Tim Cook has been slightly more forthcoming about future plans than Steve Jobs, the company remains fiercely protective of its hardware details.

Startups to tackle governance challenges at Goa's market access expo
Panaji: From waste management and agri-fintech tools to govt recruitment and tourism experiences, startups are being offered a testbed to help the state transition to tech-enabled governance. The department of information technology, electronics and communications has brought on board the Goa Public Service Commission, Nabard, the tourism department, and the Goa Waste Management Corporation for a one-day market access expo where govt officials and industry representatives will sit face-to-face with startups to solve governance challenges. According to officials with the Startup and IT Promotion Cell (SITPC), over 350 startups will participate in the Goa Market Access Expo 2025, which is expected to be held this month. 'The whole idea is to allow startups to interact with industry and govt allowing them to solve problems that govt departments face. There were 18-20 problems that were listed, but then there was a discussion that there are technologies and products beyond the problem statements that we identified but may be beneficial for the industry or other departments,' said D S Prashant, the chief executive officer of SITPC. He said that startups and student innovators who registered for the Goa Open Innovation Challenge were invited to work with govt agencies, departments, and the tourism sector to solve problems. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Currently, 65 Goan startups have registered for the market access expo. According to Prashant, the participating departments, including Nabard, will present specific problems such as complexities in public service recruitment processes, inefficient waste tracking systems, and outdated rural credit mechanisms, for which startups are expected to design and present targeted solutions. In the agri-finance sector, Nabard is seeking tech interventions to modernise cooperative credit compliance. For Nabard, the focus areas include the development of agri-fintech tools for rural lending, the digitisation of cooperative banks, and improving access to finance. Prashant said that the expo is a step to demonstrate Goa's larger ambitions of becoming a technology-driven governance state. The startup promotion cell has stated that successful prototypes will be considered for piloting opportunities post-event, with potential for long-term integration into govt service delivery systems.
