Did the new MBP Retina 2015 staingate problem fixed?

Hi there,

I am planning to buy the new Macbook Pro with Retina display (13 inch, 2015) and hopefully I could buy it as soon as possible as I needed it for iOS Development that I'm doing for my senior project, and other photoshop and word processing works (my old Macbook stopped function properly anymore). However, I just came across the staingate issue on older versions of Macbook Pro with Retina Display and I'm not sure if the problem still persists in the new 2015 model. Should I wait before I buy (considering I need it urgently, I don't know if I can wait) and if I do buy it, will wearing a screen protector help?

Thank you everyone in advance

If you want the computer get it. Millions of MacBook Pro retina users are not having any issues. You have been visiting sites where people with problems come for help. If you were to spend time at a hospital emergency room you likely could conclude that most people are ill. But it is not the case that most people are ill just as it is not the case that most MacBook Pro users have the issue you are referring to.

You don't need a screen protector.

Hi. Thanks for the response. I'm still wondering though; will Apple fix it if you tell them this happened to you? More specifically, Apple in the Netherlands (where I reside)? And if they would, would they do so because of Apple Care, regular insurance or because its a common factory error?

Thanks to everyone in advance.

Jeroen.

New computers are covered by warranty in accordance with the terms of the warranty at the time of purchase. I think you are being overly cautious. If there was a systemic problem Apple would not be selling computers as successfully as they are.
