According to US media reports, Apple is facing a new one the criminalization phase meaning that the company was deliberately hiding the problem from the backlash of its 2016 MacBook Pro, all models are affected both 13 and 15 inches.
Problem on MacBook Pro 2016 screen
It turns out that the 2016 MacBook Pro has a design flaw caused by the cable line behind the display matrix. When opening and closing the lid, pressure is produced in the area where the wires are located, gradually damaging the Screen's light panel until it finally fails, initially only at the bottom corner of the screen but that eventually spreads to the entire screen over time.
The problem at first causes the light in the corner to shine, creating an unpleasant sensation in the eyes. Over time, this area gradually increases until it eventually touches the entire screen, making it completely useless and forcing the user to change it.
In the image above you can see this cable transfer – more cable and connector-, to the left of the 2016 model and to the right of the 2019 model, where this problem did not appear and consequently lead to the assumption that Apple knew that and edited it to the 2019 MacBook Pro without saying anything.
What can you do if you have this problem?
It all started with a Los Angeles resident named Mahan Taleshpour, filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of California accusing the company of its bad faith, because it knows about the problem we told you, solves it the next generation and offers no solution to users. Following this complaint, many other consumers with the same problem joined the lawsuit.
There is a fix system for 13-inch MacBook Pro 2011, when Apple repairs the screen of these affected models for free; However, there is no such thing for the 2016 models involved, forcing users to assume the total cost of repairs, which could be hundreds of euros.
In fact, if the laptop is out of warranty and is not contractual Apple care The company will claim that this problem was caused by user misuse and will not be responsible. In other words, either your MacBook Pro is covered by Apple Care (likely when you bought it in 2016), or you will have to pay for it yourself (though you can always try to join a class action against Apple, of course).
