Apple to Compensate MacBook Owners for Faulty Butterfly Keyboards
Affected customers will receive up to $395 as part of a $50 million class-action settlement from the tech giant.
- MacBook models from 2015 to 2019 featured defective butterfly keyboards prone to failure.
- Apple's repair program initially replaced faulty keyboards with the same problematic design.
- The company has since reverted to the more reliable scissor-switch mechanism.
- Payments will be issued by August 2024 to customers who filed claims by March 2023.
- Compensation amounts vary based on the extent of keyboard repairs needed.
