Apple customers with Macs, displays, and iOS devices that were directly damaged within the Japan earthquake and tsunami can be eligible free of charge repairs. The offer, posted at the company’s Japanese website, excludes iPod classic, nano, and shuffle, and only applies to customers living in areas covered by the Ministry of Health’s Disaster Relief Act. Originally posted in March, Apple’s announcement joins Softbank’s offer to replace lost iPhones registered to its network, and free calls to Japan from U.S. carriers, among others. Considering water and other accidental damage typically voids a device’s warranty, you need to give AppleCare a decision soon — the acceptance period only runs through June 30th.
