If you owned a MacBook with a busted butterfly keyboard (fave.co/3X9XVCr), Apple may soon send you a refund. A judge has approved a $50 million class-action lawsuit settlement (fave.co/3Qj6fh7) for several states that will reimburse MacBook users for repairs going back to 2015. Here's what you need to know.
WHICH MODELS DOES THIS SETTLEMENT COVER?
Every MacBook with a butterfly keyboard is part of the class-action suit, including the MacBook (all), MacBook Air (201819), MacBook Pro (13-inch, 201619), and MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016-19).
WHAT WAS THE ISSUE?
For years, MacBook users complained of stuck, repeating, and broken keys (fave.co/ 3X9XVCr) when typing with MacBooks. The issue has been traced to Apple's use of butterfly-style keycaps, which have a lower profile than scissor-style keys. Apple began replacing the butterfly keyboard with the Magic Keyboard in the 16-inch MacBook. Pro (fave.co/31kZiXq) in 2019.
WHICH STATES ARE INCLUDED IN THE CLASS ACTION?
The lawsuit covers California, New York, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, Washington, and Michigan.
WHAT IF I MOVED?
As long as you were living in one of the above states at the time of the repair, you'll be included.
