Yeah yeah yeah. That’s what I said in my original post. I said it was a consumer law not a warranty. Time after time when people here get agitated with Apple over a small issue someone will immediately say “I have a 6 year warranty in my country when they really don’t.
Actually it hasn't been done. No RGB Keyboards? It may be quiet but I bet Apple can do better on their keyboards.
The current Magic keyboard is great. That’s your own personal want.
More like Apple is going to give people nothing. They already get a 2% discount when they use Apple Card\Apple Pay.
I love how the perpetually immature downvoted your simple statement of fact.
I haven't had a problem either.
Will be interesting to see the outcome of this, I got 3 ½ years out of mine before it needed repair and it’s now over 4 years old. I normally get 9 or 10 years out of a Mac and if The keyboard fails again Apple won’t fix it.
It is good don’t get me wrong but as I’ve said before, they can make a better one. Plus I would also like my Magic Keyboard in black instead of white. Not everyone likes white.
The problem is that Apple's solution can never actually fix the problem, since the part they use to "fix the issue" is simply another unsuited-to-purpose (i.e. broken from the factory) part. In a just world these lawyers would attempt to force Apple to actually fix the problem in 100% of the crapbox machines they shipped with these turds. They knew they were crap, they knew it from right about day 1, and they shipped them for 5 years anyway. Now Apple should fix them, permanently, regardless of cost, which probably means replacing the machines with new ones (including data transfer). Until companies are held appropriately responsible for their actions they will continue to bend consumers over and you-know-the-rest. Imagine a world in which, instead of a pittance of remuneration for wrongs committed companies are forced to actually correct those wrongs, regardless of cost. That would be great. Not likely to ever happen, but boy would it be great!
And which MacBook Pro comes with a white Magic Keyboard? Please keep in mind this discussion is about the MacBook butterfly keyboard, not Apple's other standalone keyboards.
I so remember people back then defending the new MBPs and how Apple is innovative with their 1 USB-C port type comparing it to abandoning the floppy disks, its 2021 and people still want USB-A
There never was a MacBook Pro with just one USB-C port. The regular MacBook had that setup though.
Of course! scissors thoughAnd you probably just typed that with Timo’s keyboard, right?
Replacing a product that is defective by design with one that works as advertised is not how Tim Cook’s Apple does business. Doing stuff like that would mean the stock price was based on customer satisfaction, and Timmy’s not going to risk his bonus and stock options with that, especially when overcharging App Store fees, dongles, and stock buybacks are so much easier.
My point is that lawyers have been able to argue settlements for less. The real issue here is that Apple has been- and continues to- replace the faulty keyboards from the butterfly generation(s) with the exact same faulty keyboard. It's not an actual repair program, it's a band-aid. They didn't FIX anything until they replaced it with the new design. And absolutely they knew it was an issue (the continued iteration year over year on the design shows that perfectly) and should be taken to task for that. Tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of people spent money on these things only to find out they were buying a fundamentally flawed product.
How anyone can sit back and defend the "almighty apple" in this situation beyond comprehension.
