Air bubbles on my screen

So I’ve had my MacBook since September 2018 and I’ve had a screen protector on the screen since then. Recently I took off the screen protector and I have these air bubble things with white tips on the screen. What are they and what can I do to remove them.

MacBook Pro 13”, 10.14

Screen protector is not recommended.


In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' /assessment

Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"—

It sounds like when you took off the screen protector you got some dust particles on the screen and then when you put the screen protector back in it trapped those dust particles creating bubbles with a bit of white in them.


The solution is to remove that screen protector and throw it away, leave off the screen in a dust-free environment so the screen is 100% free of dust, then apply on a new/fresh screen protector. This can be very tricky to do and it get perfect without any bubbles.
