battery swell of MacBook Pro 2017(with Touch Bar) & screen comes with black lines The MacBook pro 17 with touch bar that I bought in 2017 has the problem of battery swelling and a large number of black lines on the screen. This problem is not only caused by me, it is indeed a lot of people with same problems on their MacBook Pro(16-17, with bar). However, the warranty period of my product has been passed in 2 years, and I don't know when Apple can give an explanation. At present, Apple’s maintenance program regarding battery bulge only supports the following models: 2015 15-inch MacBook Pro; 16/17 13-inch MacBook Pro (without touch bar). Apple’s maintenance plan on screen issues currently only supports stage lighting issues, and only for the 2016 macbook pro. In fact, it has been found that the battery and screen problems are far more than these few notebooks, but Apple officials have ignored other series of models of computers. In fact, from the above brief summary, we can clearly see the following conclusions: 1. Do not buy pro; 2. Do not buy the one with touch bar; 3. Do not to buy Apple.

Has the macbook pro swollen battery issue been fixed yet? I bought my last macbook pro in August 2017 and just now the battery has begun to swell. Apple would repair it for $200 but they found a problem with the logic board, which will cost close to $600 to repair. I said no. I am wondering about quality control over at Apple to be having these kinds of problems. The laptop has sat on my desk for its life. The "genuis" insinuated that I somehow did this, knowing full and well that it's Apple's problem. Anyway, before buying another one, I'd like to know if this problem still exists. Does it? Or do I dare take my chances with the new Macbook Air M1?

Battery Swelling Hi guys. I recently purchased the Macbook Pro 16 inch, 2019 model(Just over a month old). I have observed the back panel creaks and there is a noticeable gap between the back panel and body in the front of the device. The trackpad is sunk in one corner and has risen in the other corner. The lid when shut has some uneven gaps on either side. There is probably a slight bend in the body too. Is it because of the battery swelling? Because when I google the issue this is what is the result that I get which is 'Battery is Swelling. Can someone pls help me out.
