Macbook Class Settlement
Direct Link to offer | File A Claim
A settlement has been reached with Apple in a class action law lawsuit alleging that certain MacBook laptops sold between 2015-2019 were equipped with defective butterfly keyboards that can result in characters repeating unexpectedly; letters or characters not appearing; and/or the keys feeling “sticky” or not responding in a consistent manner.
Who Is Eligible?
The Settlement Class includes anyone in the United States who purchased (not for resale) an Apple MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro laptop between 2015 and 2019 that was equipped with a butterfly keyboard mechanism.
The Settlement provides for a $50 million fund for payments to Settlement Class Members who had the “Butterfly” keyboard on their MacBook laptop repaired. The two repair procedures covered by the Settlement are: (1) a Topcase Replacement, which involves replacing the entire keyboard module; and (2) a Keycap Replacement, which involves replacement of one or more keycaps.
- If Apple’s records reflect you received two Topcase Replacements, you are a Group 1 Settlement Class Member.
- If you received a single Topcase Replacement or one or more Keycap Replacements, and you declare that the repair did not resolve your keyboard issues, you are a Group 2 or Group 3 Settlement Class Member.
The amount of the settlement payment varies depending on whether you are a Group 1, Group 2, or Group 3 Settlement Class Member.
How Much?
- Group 1 can receive $300 – $395.
- Group 2 can receive up to $125.
- Group 3 can receive up to $50.
The actual amounts will vary based on the number of claimants.
Important Dates
- March 6, 2023 is the deadline to file
- 2015 – 2019 are years which some MacBooks were affected
Our Verdict
There’s potential for some real money back here. I have some friends who always bemoaned the Apple butterfly keyboard issues, hopefully they’ll get some reimbursement now with this settlement.
