Yet they're still ignoring Flexgate which affects devices made across a number of years. I paid an arm and a let for a Macbook Pro (that's what they cost in my country), only to have it turned into a paperweight by a manufacturing defect that Apple acknowledges but won't remedy except for devices made in 2016. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/apple-sued-over-macbook-pro-flexgate-what-you-need-to-know https://www.tomsguide.com/news/apple-sued-over-macbook-pro-f... https://www.macrumors.com/2020/08/20/apple-faces-another-flexgate-lawsuit/ https://www.macrumors.com/2020/08/20/apple-faces-another-fle... https://support.apple.com/13-inch-macbook-pro-display-backlight-service https://support.apple.com/13-inch-macbook-pro-display-backli... EDIT: Astounding to see I'm getting downvotes here. I mean, what kind of mindset must one have to see regular people getting screwed over by a multibillion dollar corporation like this, and then side with the corporation. It boggles the mind.

I am in the same boat with a 2017 Macbook Pro that I bought in late 2018 :( It is the most expensive thing I've ever bought in my life. Apple is asking for 65% of the original price just to replace the display.

I upvoted you. I have had people downvoting me as well for sharing an experience with Lenovo where they took about 100 days to repair my motherboard within warranty period. Sigh.

In my experience it's better to go to an 'Authorized Service Provider' for repair. They have an incentive to do repairs and get paid, and it's quite easy for them to get Apple to pay the repair cost. E.g. on my machine that had the Keyboard repeating issue I also received a topcase as there was some slight de-lamination. Seems your model was affected (at least nominally) by the same keyboard issue so just send it in for a repair of the keyboard and also note the other issues; they will likely be repaired for free.
