MacBook Air M1 screen crack for no appar… - Apple Community
In May 2021, a MacBook user complained in Apple's support community that his MacBook Air M1 screen cracked for no apparent reason. According to the user, the Mac he used before was able to use it for 10 years without any problems. However, when I opened the screen to use the MacBook Air purchased half a year ago from the post, I found two small cracks on the right side of the screen.
The crack was just like closing a MacBook Air with two grains of rice left behind, but there was nothing like that on the author's desk, and since closing it after use the night before, the MacBook Nothing happened to the Air. However, when the poster asked Apple to repair the MacBook Air, Apple told me that the warranty could not be applied.
'I'm angry that Apple doesn't trust customers more than repair costs,' the support community responded to the same situation. According to one reply , this problem is a design problem, and there are similar reports on the online bulletin board Reddit.
