Nine months after a Guardian investigation pointed to a limited lifespan for the wireless backup, the company has offered free replacements - but only to a limited number of owners. Will others sue?
Apple has finally confessed that something is wrong with its Time Capsule wireless storage product - nine months after a Guardian investigation pointed to problems, and after thousands of people saw their valuable data lost when the devices failed to power up.
Owners of units whose serial number lies within the range of XX807XXXXXX - XX814XXXXXX can get them repaired or replaced free of charge, by post or in person - though to save your data you'll have to take it to an Apple Store or authorised retailer so that they can retain the data from the hard drive.
