Apple Mac screen just cracked spontaneously

My Apple MacBook Air 2 that is just four months old just spontaneously cracked in the bottom left-hand corner. I took it to Apple shop and they told me I had to pay $950 to get it fixed. I did not drop it. I did not squash a cord in it or put a paper clip in it like they said I must have done it just spontaneously cracked then lines appeared all over the screen so I couldn’t use it. Not happy Jan.

Can a cracked screen on a MacBook Pro with Touch Bar be repaired before resale? I was wanting to know if this could be easily repaired or not. I have a 2020 MacBook Pro with the touch bar. I am wanting to resell my MacBook because I no longer need it but I know the value would go down due to the crack. No pieces have fallen out and the MacBook works perfectly fine. No issues, just the crack. [Edited by Moderator] Original Title: Cracked macbook pro screen

Macbook Pro 2024 Screen Crack. Advice! Macbook Pro 2024 M4 16" (A3403) Screen Crack. I have a less than 5 month old MBP with a cracked screen that has arose from no known physical damage of my own doing. The laptop was stored away and on opening up after a number of days lines appeared along the bottom and up the left of the screen, eventually with the screen blurring over and largely blacking out (as per picture). This looks to be a result of normal usage or unacceptable brittleness from what is a premium product. Apple have stated in-store that this is accidental damage due to a "visible contact point" however I have seen multiple examples of cracks coming from screen corners due to low tolerances on open/closure of the lid. In hindsight having applecare+ would have been purchased within the 60 days of owning and the repair would be £79 over the quoted £830 to replace the screen by Apple. Additionally as the 1 year warranty doesn't cover 'accidental damage' my options seem to be limited to paying an expensive repair that I am not confident won't reoccur on this particular model/screen. Anyone have similar experiences with these 16" screens? Any second opinions would be great. Thanks! Mark

MacBook Air M1 screen got cracked without any apparent reason I am a student at IIT Patna.I bought a macbook air m1 less than 1 month ago but now it screen has got a crack without any apparent reason. I was working on the Mac at night and it was working normal.I shut it down like normal at night but when I opened it in the morning I saw that it's screen has got a crack. The whole night Mac was kept on my table, I couldn't understand how it got a cracked screen. When I contacted apple service centre they said that it's a physical damage. They are saying it's completely my fault. This was my first apple product and I am never gonna purchase any apple product further in my life.

The Display of this machine is Designed by Apple to be Owned and Closed by the small Indentation in the Middle of the Display

It, the indentation is in the middle for a specific reason

Placing too much Torque " a twisting force that tends to cause rotation " on one edge of the screen can cause the Display to present cracks in the Display
