Apple Mac Book Pro problem Ping!
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
These look to me like screens that were kept in an extremely moist environment too long. . . like in a bathroom with a shower, or hot steam. Millions of these have been sold, so why just a few? Strange.
Apple has replaced some even out of warranty. . . and its even more strange that it is for the same people with the same problem. That would tend to validate an environmental issue.
Have any of you experienced this?

Not just high humidity but cleaning with some of those eye glass wipes that are notorious for destroying AR coatings. Even when hardened AR coatings are on the fragile side
This is damage caused by acids coming from the user’s fingers. Some people naturally produce more acid and some people just don’t wash their hands that much. This is the same appearance as with damage to the optical coatings on lenses that are touched and not cleaned.
Whenever there are issues with Apple products, it is always the same reaction from the same group and the same mum reaction from Apple. I harken back to the “1984” commercial from Apple. Although it’s hard to make out, Big Brother’s on screen speech is as follows....
“Today we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives.
We have created for the first time in all history a garden of pure ideology, where each worker may bloom, secure from the pests of any contradictory true thoughts.
Our Unification of Thoughts is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth.
We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause.
Our enemies shall talk themselves to death and we will bury them with their own confusion.
We shall prevail”
Was this really a call to revolution, or was it Apple’s business strategy all along to create an army of unquestioning drones to buy their products and defend everything they do? I have owned at least 10 laptops over the years, including 3 MacBooks, and abused the crap out of all of them. I have never seen any of my screens look anything like the photos on that site. A cosmetic issue would be if the case became stained or discolored in some way, or if this was limited to the edges of the bezel area. But the screen coating flaking off right in the main area where you look to see the information you are interacting with can hardly be considered cosmetic except in a world “secure from the pests of any contradictory true thoughts.”
I’ll continue to buy and use Apple products, but not on launch day. I usually wait for a while to make sure it is safe, because if there is an issue, you have a good chance to be stuck with it like these poor folks. While Apple has great warranty service and will usually fix individual issues, they do not have a good track record on the bigger widespread issues. They will deny the issue and the armies of Apple Thought Purification Police will drag you through the mud if you dare to bring it up.
I understand from Mac Rumors that the new Iphone will use a thicker metal frame. Could this be possibly a fix for the bend-gate issue that does not exist? I really dodged a bullet on that one and am still packing my Galaxy Note 2 that I carry in my back pocket and sit on...sometimes all day.. I am due for a new phone and I’ll probably get the new one .... once I know it is safe.
