Coffee spilled on Mac: Bengaluru woman sues Apple for repairs, loses case

BENGALURU: After accidentally spilling coffee on her brand-new Apple laptop and being charged for repair, despite having AppleCare+ coverage for product damage, a Bengaluru woman sued Apple India, but lost the case. The company successfully argued that unexpected or unintentional damage to internal parts due to liquid spills weren’t covered under AppleCare+.

The 31-year-old woman purchased a MacBook Pro 13-inch laptop on January 5 last year. She paid Rs 1,74,307 for the device and also purchased an AppleCare+ coverage for Rs 22,900, which promised unlimited incidents of accidental damage protection.
