Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I bought my MacBook Pro 15" 2017 in June 2018 and have been working on it very well.
I have noticed over time there are stains forming on the edge of the screens. See attached pictures.
I guess it is from opening and closing the lid with my left hand. What can I doe about this?
The stains seem to be underneath the glass.
I clean my MacBook regularly. At least ones a week.

Looks like the anti-glare ( antii-reflextive) coating is starting to fail.

If it is indeed the anti-reflective coating starting to peel, then it may be covered by a secret free Apple repair program if the laptop is less than four years old:

Man, that is pretty good information.
Tomorrow I'm going to the store (Amac) and will find out if they will do this.
I bought the laptop in 2018, so it should be eligible for this repair program.
Keep you posted.
Thanks, I will go to my local Apple support center and see what they say.
