M2 MacBook Pro screen crack for no apparent reason

same issue , went to apple Genius Bar , they said its physical damage and have to pay around 500 pounds to fix it , fuming right now

M2 MacBook Air, exactly the same spot and really irritating that my early 2015 MacBook Air has proven to be a significantly more durable device. This didn’t last two months before this issue occurred

This is what I posted on hello peter.

I as well am here with a busted Apple M2 Pro screen. Absolutely ridiculous. I bought the max apple care coverage. If i have to pay even one cent towards fixing this product that has spotaneously decided to fail in this way there is going to be BIG problems. This is what we all get for not listening to Louis Rossmann.

It's not a graphics problem. It's a cracked screen problem caused by a clearance defect.

Sign up for the apple care before you take it for repair. then it will only cost you $100 otherwise you will need to dish out $800ish

sure mr apple workerbee

Exact same problem with me, I was working on my Macbook pro M1 13" and suddenly there was horizontal line from the bottom of the screen, at first, it was a small line then it is grown up. No drop or anything, hope it will stop growing, I have no money to replace the screen.

Happened to my brand new M3 MacBook that was purchased earlier this year. Opened the Mac and it randomly had lines on it for no reason. Really disappointed.

This happened with my brand new MacBook Air too. I was watching a movie and suddenly the crack appeared and it went on expanding.This has to be the worst experience to the consumers from apple.

I think people are just trying to see if anyone has an explanation as to how this damage could occur, which is a type of problem-solving venture. Since I bought one of these laptops just before Christmas, I now know that I could be taking a risk to treat it like a portable computer that can sustain a few bumps and falls (my last MacBook Pro was built like a tank!). It seems as though the new screens are too thin to sustain pressure (hinges?) or temperature changes (ambient or vents near screen?), let alone an actual accident.

Got M2 MacBook 2023, I have this exact same issue, screen cracking from bottom left corner. It's been less than one year since this happened. How can I get them to fix this without paying ? I feel like I am scammed by apple.

I went to the apple store yesterday with the same reason. Macbook Pro 14inch M3 (bought in December 2023, four month old). I was forced to pay Apple store $760 to repair it ("Forced" means there were multiple Apple store guys kept telling me the crack cannot happen out of blue but must be my bad handling. I can surely attest that there was no impact or hard press on the display, but the crack was just made by itself. I argued that this is definitely the quality control issue but Apple store guys blamed me I probably put pencil or coin in between the display and keyboard and closed it hard. They even mentioned we have probably lifted up the Macbook Pro with two fingers by holding an edge of the display. I have read some users said the same type of crack happened again even after replacing it with a new one by Apple with paying +$700.

I have to say I don’t believe the people saying they had it repaired under warranty - mine is less than a year old and I have had no joy in London - very dissatisfied n apple and also the posters saying they got theirs covered - I think they are trolls

I got the same issue with my 16 inch M2 2023 MBP, i took care of it, i only got it for about 8 months, got a padded sleeve and put it in double padded laptop bag, however, while i’m using it i noticed that the lower part of the screen is blinking, vertical lines is starting to show on the left side, there is a small black portion on the bottom left, after few hours of use, the screen blacked-out. I brought it to the authorized apple repair center, the tech told me that it was cause by a physical external damage, but they can’t really explain how did it happen. honestly, i felt i got scammed caused there is no way that i dropped it or break it, i’m yielding more on the fact that there is a factory defect on it. I phoned apple and they told me that there is no engineering program posted yet so they have to treat the incident to be accidental damage, I still need to pay the service fee and wait until they fixed my laptop. I’am really dissapointed. I’m posting this incident cause i’m hoping that everyone should report any similar incident so apple can post an engineering program(similar to a recall) to help us resolve the issue. thank you everyone and have a nice day!
