What You Need to Know About Apple’s $50 Million Keyboard Settlement
Earlier this week, Apple agreed to a proposed $50 million settlement in a class action lawsuit alleging that the butterfly keyboard used in certain MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro models is defective, which can result in usability issues.
The settlement still needs to receive final court approval. In the meantime, here is everything to know about the agreement as currently proposed.
The proposed settlement applies to any U.S. resident who meets all three criteria:
- Purchased any MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro equipped with a butterfly keyboard between 2015 and 2019 in the United States (except for resale purposes)
- Obtained a qualifying keyboard repair from Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider
- The repair did not resolve your keyboard issues
