retina display anti-reflective coating on the screen glass problem

Edett,

My first reply to you was filtered, so I've modified the wording of this post to see if it'll go through this time and hopefully you will understand what I'm talking about.

I purchased a 27 inch iMac in late 2009 with AppleCare. Three years later, just after the AppleCare expired, my video card had issues. I submitted an electronic mail to the top individual at our beloved fruit company. Long story short, either he or whomever reads his email got things moving and my local A. Store here in Japan fixed the problem for free. They actually had to swap the video card twice because the first swap didn't completely fix the problem. Again, this was done for free even though the machine was out of warranty. Food for thought.

Best wishes.

Apple will replace it for free even if the screen has accidental damage. You are completely covered. Make an appointment at an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider nearest you.

Best of luck!

What makes you "accidental" in "Apple will replace it for free even if the screen has accidental damage".

Accidental damage is not covered by warranty.

Though I have never seen anything official from Apple, this may apply to your MBP:

Bring the MBP in for an evaluation.

Ciao.

This is not a warranty program, it is a repair extension.

According to Apple article OP1564:

"C. Eligibility - Displays with a confirmed anti-reflective display coating issue are eligible for display replacement at no charge - including displays with accidental damage."

Can you provide a link to that Apple article?

Hi

Correct. Apple launched a Quality programme in Oct, '15. Affected screens(displays) to be replaced within 3 years of purchase or one year from Oct 16, 2016 whichever is later. I purchased my MBP Retina on Nov 01, 2013 and the problem started from Feb 2014.

Yesterday, I got the display replaced. It was real smooth! Took it to a Service Center on Oct 07. They called me later to say that they had indented the part and obtained approval from Apple. Yesterday I was asked to come in and the job was completed. It now looks brand new again! I was beginning to getdepressed looking every time at the defective screen.

Good luck- act fast: You may not have much time left ! Unless of course the program is extended.

Not true. I have a MacBook Pro 15 inch late 2013, and Apple just told me it is not covered by their replacement program: only the MacBook Pro early 2013 is covered !

I have a MacBook Pro 15 inch late 2013, it was covered by the replacement program. Not sure why Apple said it's not covered for you....

I was able to get my display replaced free of cost at Apple authorized service center in Jaipur, India.

If the display has anti-reflective coating issue, it would still be eligible even if there are other damages.
