Cracked display M3 16-inch MacBook Pro Max

This exact same thing has happened to me! My m3 pro laptop is a few months old, I was working on it and the screen is working just fine, then out of nowhere, having not touched it, it goes off, with a few lines and a small spider mark inside the screen. It isn’t covered because that mark supposedly indicates accidental damage. I know for a fact there has been no impact, now I have to pay £830 which I don’t have. I can’t believe it, I wish I never upgraded!

The screen is made of glass. It might crack.

There are posts here very single week about cracked glass in MacBook Pro.

Electro-mechanical devices fail at random, arbitrary, and capricious times.

The most frequent reason for most failures is 'just because'.

Your specific failure is most likely caused by an advanced scientific principle called ...

... 'bad luck'.

If you want a really substantial lesson how this this works (or more precisely how this stops working) own an older used automobile.

Same problem here. Brand new MacBook Pro M3 16 inch - used only a handful of times. Closed it down overnight and reopened next morning with lines on screen. Took it to Apple Store in Vancouver and told it was not covered by warranty. They want $1400 to replace the screen. The computer was rarely used and never abuse or dropped or handled roughly. It is a defect in the screen or the casing that causes these cracks and Apple should be offering warranty protection if there's no clear evidence of abuse. They appear to be taking the position that the user is at fault and must pay for the repair. If Apple cannot show that the damage arose from abuse then it should assume that there's a manufacturer's defect and repair it free of charge. I paid close to $4000 for this machine and am being asked to pay an additional $1400 to make it usable through no fault of my own.

Apple standard warranty does not cover cracks in the glass of the displays.

AppleCare Plus would have covered it for a US$99 co-pay, IF you had purchased it when new or within the first 60 days of ownership (subject to inspection).
