In Internet there are mixed opinions about whether MacBooks with Apple Silicon chips that have the 2016 MacBook Pro exterior design (MacBook Air M1 and MacBook Pro 13" M1/M2) are affected by the fatigue present on the display flex cable due to opening and closing the lid, so I would like to ask here if anyone have experienced the famous "flexgate" issue on these models of MacBook.

If anyone is going to reply that Apple fixed the problem with 2018 MacBook Pro models, extending the flex cable 2mm didn't fix the issue (only delayed it at best).

We have 40+ of these at work (the M1 versions, I work in the IT dept), and we've not had any issues with this so far.

Does really no one else has either positive or negative experience regarding this topic? Seems really for odd for a very popular MacBook generation.

Well, as is usual with these things you're likely to only hear from folks with problems, and I don't think there are (m)any. I spend a lot of time in Apple and Mac communities, and I don't recall seeing a single display-related issue with the older-style M1 MacBooks.

When did your workplace started to use the MacBooks? What model are they? (Air M1, Pro Touch Bar M1/M2)
All M1 & M2 Models. Air, MacBook Pro 13" 14" & 16". We started issuing them as soon as they were available through our Apple portal (usually within a week of public availability).
