- A US judge has finally approved a $50 million settlement for owners of defective MacBooks.
- Apple used an unreliable butterfly keyboard design for many laptops between 2015 and 2019.
Apple‘s butterfly keyboard design has to be one of the biggest tech fails in the last few decades. The revised keyboard design for MacBooks, first introduced in 2015, proved to be horribly unreliable and prone to breaking. Now, a US judge has finally cleared the way for Apple to settle with customers.
Reuters reports that a US judge approved Apple’s $50 million settlement with customers. Affected users will receive fees of between $50 and $395 from the Cupertino company. The court also rejected two key challenges to the settlement.
