List of known Apple, iPhone, and peripheral problems to watch out for!

[Phwoar]

Original Post: I don't know if this is the section of Macrumors to post this into, but it would be really helpful if we had a consolidated community thread where everyone is able to post known Apple product problems (ones acknowledged by Apple or the media, or well-known publicly discussed issues that are yet to be resolved). iPhone, Macs, MacBook Pros, MacBooks, iOS, MacOS, etc.

iPhone/iOS

• iOS/iPhone - iMessage noise/alert notifications not working on iOS 14 (no fix): https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251815788?page=100 and https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...t-messages-and-message-notifications.2267946/

AirPods Pro

• AirPods Pro – rattle gate and noise/ microphone malfunction (replacement program but issues not resolved as per Apple Support thread): https://support.apple.com/airpods-pro-service-program-sound-issues and https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250813242?page=31

MacBook Pro

• Butterfly keyboard malfunction (replacement program):https://support.apple.com/keyboard-service-program-for-mac-notebooks and https://www.wsj.com/graphics/apple-still-hasnt-fixed-its-macbook-keyboard-problem/
• Flexgate MacBook Pro screens (show a spotlight effect at bottom of screen) (replacement program): https://www.macrumors.com/guide/flexgate-macbook-pro-display-issue/ and https://support.apple.com/13-inch-macbook-pro-display-backlight-service

Please post other ones you know about, so we can all keep an eye out!

If you want a workable list and not just a bunch of posts. I’d suggest making this a Wiki post.

Hi @velocityg4 I tried converting it to a Wiki post, but then I realised that each person might wish to contextualise their own experiences with faults (and that may cause some debate).

For example, not everyone will have had the notification alert problem in iOS 14 – so in the interests of not wanting to impose one experience over others, I will leave it as a thread.

Please everyone post other Apple product problems you might be aware of, so we can all keep an eye out for these issues in our current and future product purchases from Apple.
