Apple to Pay $50 Million to Settle Butterfly Keyboard Lawsuit

Apple to Pay $50 Million to Settle Butterfly Keyboard Lawsuit

Despite Apple’s efforts to improve the keyboard through various iterations, the issue persisted until the company released the 16-inch MacBook Pro in 2019, which reverted to the reliable “scissor switch” design also found in Apple’s Magic Keyboard for desktops. A few months later, Apple completely phased out the problematic design from its products when it introduced a redesigned 13-inch MacBook Pro. While the settlement does not include an admission of wrongdoing by Apple, it will reimburse eligible individuals for repair costs, with some recipients receiving up to $395.
