Basically, it will include all keyboards that use Apple’s butterfly mechanism. Now it will cover repairs of keyboards on Macs that have been purchased within the past four years, regardless of warranty status. And it only applied to customers who were out of a warranty period.
Previously the repair program would cover 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pro laptops going back to 2017, and the 12-inch MacBook going back to early 2015 models. The company is also changing its keyboard repair program, which it first announced in June of 2018. If you want something more reliable, then hook the keyboard up to your iPad and: Open Settings>General>Keyboard. Last year, Apple updated its MacBook Pros and MacBooks to include a silicone membrane under the keys, which was largely perceived as an effort to prevent dust and debris from making the keyboard unusable. The company declined to say exactly what the material change was. But the company says these keyboards have a change in the physical material that exists within the butterfly mechanism that will address some of the issues that MacBook users have been experiencing. It will also extend its keyboard repair program, in a bid to appease Apple laptop owners who have been frustrated by stuck or double-typing keys.Īpple’s newest MacBook Pros, which are being announced today and include significant bumps in power and performance, are still using Apple’s third-generation “butterfly” keyboard. These repairs are more expensive than those of PCs as MacBooks use proprietary parts. These are some of the most common repairs for an Apple laptop, also known as a MacBook. The keyboards on this list are specifically for those of you who like the Magic Keyboards general design but are looking for something slightly different.
More than a year and a half after some MacBook owners began vociferously complaining about broken MacBook keyboards, Apple is making what it says is a material change in the keyboards in its high-end MacBook Pro laptops. The cost of Apple computer repairs range from up to 200 for a battery replacement to a maximum of 550 for replacing a hard drive. There are plenty of third-party keyboards on the market that can vary quite a bit from Apples.
