Remember #staingate, the problem with Retina display MacBooks and MacBooks Pro where the anti-reflective layer applied above the glass began to peel / delaminate (possibly due to the application of cleaning solutions) and the display got terrible stains?
About a year and a half ago, we were happy to report that Apple was finally adding official repair guidelines to the affected machines, even out of warranty. Now luckily Ma is extending the program for another two yearsAccording to themselves so that their computer owners have more time to make the switch.
Apple Replace Retina Displays on Affected Models, Purchased from June 2012 onwards, October 16, 2017, or within three years after original purchase date, whichever is longer. The program has been extended to offer affected consumers a longer window of time to get their notebooks serviced.
Despite the extension of the deadline, the repair program will continue to be handled internally only at Apple, without disclosures on the official website. recalls and company repairs, for example. Which, in my view, makes no sense: what if an affected consumer doesn't usually read technology publications like this and bothers with the problem, but thinks that normal? It will stay with the stains forever then.
Anyway, the fact is that if your Retina-screen MacBook or MacBook Pro has the fearsome spots, you can contact the nearest Apple Authorized Service Center or store to have the issue resolved or make good use of the Apple Support page. company; If you have already repaired it with a third party for payment, you can request a refund but they usually act appropriately in these cases.
