- The new program at first will include the iPhone 5 and other Apple products that. Meaning that owners of an iPhone, iPad or Mac can have repairs performed through Apple or an authorized service.
- No other iPhone models are included in this program, although this sounds a bit like the repair program that fixed iPhone 6 Plus units suffering from so-called “Touch Disease” (see “Apple Launches iPhone 6 Plus Multi-Touch Repair Program,” 18 November 2016) and we have an iPhone 6 that has similar problems.
Apple today launched a new Repair Extension Program that addresses video issues on some late 2013 Mac Pro models, according to an internal notice obtained by MacRumors. 13-inch MacBook Pro (non Touch Bar) Solid-State Drive Service Program. November 9, 2018. IPhone X Display Module Replacement Program for Touch Issues.
What just happened? A lot was made of the iPhone X’s $999 price tag when it launched last year, but the company insisted that paying nearly a grand was worth it for such cutting-edge technology. Now, Cupertino is offering repair programs for both the iPhone X and 13-inch MacBook Pros.
Following the unveiling of the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR, Apple’s former flagship, which has been such an influence on bringing the notch to Android phones, was removed from its website.
On Friday evening, Apple confirmed long-running reports that some iPhone X handsets may respond intermittently or not at all when users touch the screen. Additionally, the display can react even when it wasn’t touched. These issues are “due to a component that might fail on the display module,” writes the company.
Apple says anyone experiencing these problems on an eligible device can have the screen replaced for free at an Apple retail store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. If, however, the screen is damaged, your handset won’t qualify—even if it is suffering from the described problems. Essentially, those with cracked displays will be expected to pay. The program covers affected iPhone X devices for three years after the first retail sale of the unit.
Apple also announced another repair program relating to the 13-inch non-Touch Bar MacBook Pros sold between June 2017 and June 2018. It warns that a limited number of 128GB and 256GB SSDs found in these units have issues that may result in data loss and the failure of these drives.

You’ll need to enter your MacBook’s serial number on Apple's website to find out if it’s one of those affected. If it is, an Apple technician will run a utility to update the drive firmware. The company advises customers to fully backup all their data beforehand as the hour-long process erases the drive.
Despite their high prices, a number of recent Apple products seem to be experiencing problems—from overheating MacBooks to battery issues in its handsets and laptops.

Seemingly out of the blue, and following what feels like months of adamant customer feedback, Apple has just confirmed an issue with the butterfly keyboards used in the 12-inch MacBook and MacBook Pro models.
Late on Friday, Apple officially opened a brand new repair program for the MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops. According to the company’s official support document for the new program, the company has determined that there is a “small percentage” of keyboards in “certain MacBook and MacBook Pro models” may suffer from aberrant behavior. Apple has even listed out a few issues it has been tracking:
- Letters or characters repeat unexpectedly
- Letters or characters do not appear
- Key(s) feel “sticky” or do not respond in a consistent manner

“Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider will service eligible MacBook and MacBook Pro keyboards, free of charge. The type of service will be determined after the keyboard is examined and may involve the replacement of one or more keys or the whole keyboard.”
Apple has included models of MacBook and MacBook Pro that is outfitted with the butterfly keyboard design, which dates back to early 2015, when Apple first introduced the design with the 12-inch MacBook.
Here is the full list of supported MacBooks and MacBook Pros, which are covered in this new repair program:
- MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015)
- MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2016)
- MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, 2017)
- MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
- MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
- MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
- MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
- MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016)
- MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017)
Apple also makes sure to note that while this is a repair program, it does not extend the standard manufacturer’s warranty for these laptops, even those covered.
This has been a longstanding issue with Apple, but it has recently come to a head. It was reported that the 2016 MacBook Pro butterfly keyboard has twice the failure rate of older models, and editorials were published talking about how bad the butterfly keyboard has been. Indeed, Apple now faces class action lawsuits over the keyboard design.

This is a bold move on Apple’s part, even if it is much, much later than it probably should have been. Of course, what this isn’t is an admission that Apple did anything wrong with the butterfly keyboard design. Though, now it seems a lot more interesting to see if they will change anything later this year.
