APPLE SLAMS DOOR SHUT ON KEYBOARD DECEIT, PAYS UP TO $395 TO DUPED CUSTOMERS
For years, Apple’s faulty Butterfly keyboard design left MacBook owners high and dry, stuck with malfunctioning keys and expensive repair bills. But now, the tech giant is finally coughing up $50 million to compensate those who suffered, a paltry sum compared to the financial and emotional toll taken by their defective products.
As reported by The Verge, Apple is sending out checks to those who filed class-action lawsuits against the company, a move that’s been a long time coming. The payments range from $50 to $395, depending on the severity of the problem and the number of times the keyboard had to be repaired. But let’s be real – it’s not like Apple’s own incompetence didn’t leave users with a serious case of keyboard hell.
The Butterfly keyboard saga dates back to 2015, when Apple first introduced the design in the MacBook Air. But it wasn’t until 2020 that they finally scrapped the whole thing, replacing it with a more traditional keyboard design. And what took them so long, you ask? That’s a question for the ages.
CHECK YOUR MAILBOX, Apple’s Got a Present… FOR YOU!
Now, some lucky (or lucky-ish) MacBook owners are getting their paychecks, courtesy of a $50 million settlement. But let’s not pat ourselves on the back just yet. Remember, this is the same company that lied to us about the durability and effectiveness of their products. So, yes, they’re paying out the damages, but it’s hardly an apology.
And let’s not forget the countless hours, the endless frustration, and the sleepless nights spent trying to get your keyboard to work. The psychological scars of Apple’s Butterfly keyboard failures will take a long time to heal, if they ever do.
FINAL THOUGHTS
So, how’s this for a solution, Apple? Paying out millions to fix your own mess is great, but what about all those keyboard nightmares you put your customers through? Can you honestly claim that’s enough to make it all go away? We didn’t think so.
In the end, this story is a reminder that even the mighty fall, and that sometimes, companies like Apple need a kick in the pants to get their act together.
