    AirPods liquid damage

    Hello, I have a quick question: Would Apple repair AirPods unfortunately damaged by a liquid spillage if I didn't buy it through them? I brought the AirPods from John Lewis, but their guarantee doesn't include accidental damage. But if I paid for a repair by Apple, would they do it? Thanks,
