One more day, more problems involving Apple's new or not-so-new products to soothe the minds of loyal users. Today, the honor is up to 12 inch MacBookas well as the (late) Airpods: Both have seen their owners turn to the internet forums in recent days to address possible construction and / or malfunctions.

In relation to the smaller brother of Apple's portable computers, the problem has to do with a component that has already caused its share of politics at the time of the release: keyboard. MacBook users went to Ma's official support forum to complain that machine-specific keys would be "stuck" without offering the same tactile feedback as it once was. In most cases, the key continues to function, only its (already limited) movement being compromised; Some users, however, have seen keys cease to function fully upon manifestation of the defect.

Apple's recommended answer is not that those affected by the problem take their machines to a store or Apple Authorized Service Center for repair; Since a significant portion of these MacBooks are still covered under warranty, Ma may even perform the exchange if it detects any deeper defects that have happened in some of the reports on the forum.

Some of the users, however, found that the problem could be solved (or at least mitigated by throwing a jet of compressed air at the keys because, apparently, the culprit for “hardness” would be the dust accumulation or food bran in the flight. between the keys and the chassis. Although this is a valid attempt, Apple does not recommend using MacBook keys or tools to lift the keys on this process; The minimum thickness of the machine could result in a battery puncture in such an action, which would be dangerous and potentially explosive.

The problem seems to arise, at least for now, when AirPods are connected to a iPhone 6s or 6s Plus, and some users have suggested that the issue is more present when the phone is also connected to a Apple watch. The fact that the generally strong and stable connection of wireless headsets seems to have some kind of interference when in the middle of a call, although at least in theory communication via Bluetooth should not be shaken by cellular networks.

O AppleInsider tried to reproduce the problem with a pair of AirPods and an iPhone 6s Plus, but unsuccessfully, while using the same handset with a number of other Bluetooth headsets and speakers, the connection was interrupted sporadically during calls, which may suggest that, Perhaps the problem is not specifically with Apple headphones.

Ma has not yet commented on the case and there is no suggested solution to the problem should it arise. Did you, owner of AirPods, notice something similar during your use?
