Apple will pay $50m (£41.6m) over claims its laptop keyboards were unresponsive and unreliable.
Apple has agreed to pay $50m to settle a legal action by claimants in the US, over its MacBook keyboards.
Customers in seven states claimed the technology giant had sold the "butterfly" keyboards, on MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops, from 2015 to 2019, knowing they had unresponsive and sticky keys that could be damaged by dust or debris.But the company denies any wrongdoing.$125, if they replaced oneThe preliminary agreement is still subject to approval by a judge.
On a typical keyboard, keys are attached using two pieces of plastic that cross each other and close like a pair of scissors when pressed.this mechanism was 40% thinner, so its laptops could be slimmer.After several complaints, it launched a repair and replacement programme, in 2018, that covered the keyboards for four years following their purchase.Apple phased out the butterfly keyboard altogether in 2020 - its keyboards now use standard scissor switches.
