Overview

  • 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.
