M1 screen stage light issue Hi, i have Macbook pro 13” laptop, 2020 M1 model bought in Feb 2021. Recently the screen is having a stage light effect on bottom. i called the service centre and they are saying that this model does not have any reported issue on this topic and it seems that there is some hardware issue and i need to take it to service which i will have to pay since i dont have the apple care. Earlier people have reported the similar issue with older models and apple has serviced them for free Any ideas why this is happening on screen and why apple is taking taking up this issue and rectifies for free for the apple product users.

15 inch Macbook Pro (Late 2016) display backlight goes away Hi, The display backlight on my 15 inch Macbook Pro (Late 2016) goes away when I open the lid beyond 60 degrees. At 45 degrees I get the stagelight effect. I see Apple has a service program for the 13 inch Macbook Pro, but not the 15 inch model. Although both models have the same hardware defect. Is Apple going to introduce a service program for the 15 inch model??

MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021) – Blooming, Motion Trails, not-very-smooth scrolling: Is This Normal? Model: MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021), M1 Pro chip Issues: Blooming Effect: Noticeable around bright elements (e.g., white text, cursor) on dark backgrounds. Motion Trails: Greenish trails during scrolling or moving objects. Scrolling Stutters: Even at 120Hz ProMotion, scrolling lacks smoothness (tested on compatible browsers like Chrome). Actions Taken: I contacted the seller (iSpace in Yerevan, Armenia), an Apple Premium Reseller, and they conducted a diagnostic test using Apple's internal software. They claimed that the results are accessible to Apple directly and concluded the display is functioning as expected. However, they did not test the issues in appropriate conditions (e.g., dark room, real-world scenarios). They also skipped visual display tests that were visibly available in their diagnostics tool. My concerns about the visual issues were dismissed. Additional Concern: Apple’s coverage check does not display the purchase date for this device, raising questions about its authenticity. While I understand there may be reasons other than being refurbished, this still adds to my doubts about the device. Questions: Have other users experienced similar issues with their MacBook Pro (2021)? Is this behavior (blooming, motion trails, scrolling stutters) considered normal for this model? I’ve recorded videos of the issues to better demonstrate what I’m seeing. Videos: Watch in 1080p for best clarity: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UKjxo6Ot3OgXVUioecvMKYsFyi8IJIUH/view?usp=sharing UFO Test with HDR ON (1200 px/sec): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SwLFq_XAz5eIFEyXqDDuHgyso6x7Iip9/view?usp=sharing (Note: This was recorded with an iPhone 13 in a medium-bright environment. Some mild exaggeration of the physical effect may be present due to phone recording.) Your input would be incredibly helpful. Thank you in advance!
