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).
