When I say it might mean money, I mean money for you, the MacBook user. From the information that I’m looking at, we’re not talking about a huge pile of cash going to those who are deemed eligible, but are you going to say no to a few hundred bucks coming your way?
I didn’t think so. Read on to see if you’re someone who meets the criteria for this settlement of a class-action lawsuit against Apple, because not everyone is.
The Class-Action Lawsuit Alleges That Apple Knew That Its “Butterfly Keyboard” Had Defects
In the interests of full disclosure, I’ll admit to not really being a laptop guy, or even an Apple guy–so I have no idea about how MacBooks are set up, let alone knowing anything at all about Butterfly keyboards.
But, I did get you all the particulars on this story. Let’s start with a bit of background from NBCChicago.com:
According to court documents, a class-action lawsuit filed in 2022 alleges that MacBook laptops sold between 2015-2019 contained defective butterfly keyboards. The malfunctions, the lawsuit claims, can result in “characters repeating unexpectedly; letters or characters not appearing; and/or the keys feeling “sticky” or not responding in a consistent manner.”
While Apple denies all allegations claimed in the suit, a settlement of $50 million was reached in July of 2022.
