Dimples / Dents / Holes on MacBook Pro 14" and 16" screens / displays
Hi there!
I noticed several very small dimples / dents on my screen that you can feel and after using Macs for over 15 years and being very careful with same I could not wrap my head around the reason this could be.
As it turns out: Many people report the same problem while also being very careful with their hardware:
As this is a physical damage (as mentioned earlier: you can feel the "holes") I got told in the Apple Store that this would not be covered under warranty BUT they would swap it anyway free of charge. While this sounds like the solution people in the linked threads reported that they had the problem again after only a couple of months.
Now as these dimples are mostly very small I would love to hear if other people have the same problem and report same here / to Apple / to the linked threads so that we get an idea if this is in fact a design fault caused by too little distance between the keyboard and the display which was not a problem with older models. I like to mention again that you can confirm that these "faulty pixels" are in fact physical damage and not dead pixels by feeling the holes in the screen.
Attached some photos of my damages - obviously photographed very close to the screen as they are rather small.
