<p>A settlement has been reached with Apple Inc. ("Apple") in a class action law lawsuit alleging that certain MacBook laptops sold between 2015-2019 were equipped with defective butterfly keyboards that can result in characters repeating
unexpectedly; letters or characters not appearing; and/or the keys feeling "sticky" or not responding in a consistent manner.</p>
<p>Apple denies all of the allegations made in the lawsuit, denies that any MacBooks are defective, and denies that Apple did anything improper or unlawful. Apple asserts numerous defenses to the claims in this case. The proposed settlement to
resolve this case is not an admission of guilt or wrongdoing of any kind by Apple.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Who is included in the Class?</strong></h3>
<p>The Settlement Class includes all persons and entities in the United States who purchased, other than for resale, an Apple MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro laptop between 2015 and 2019 that was equipped with a butterfly keyboard
mechanism. The list of models covered by the Settlement are referred to as the "<a href="/faq#q-5">Class Computers</a>."</p>
