A group of Retina MacBook Pro owners are calling on Apple to remedy issues with their screens. Dubbed “Staingate”, the issue at hand is that the coatings on the screens become permanently damaged. The problems manifest in splotches, streaks and other surface anomalies attributed to faults in the antireflective coating applied to a Retina MacBook’s display surface.
There is currently a website called Staingate.org and a related Facebook community that seem to be tracking this issue and early data indicates that the issue seems to be limited to recent-generation MacBook Pro with Retina display models, in particular those built in 2013.
Apple has not commented yet. But apparently Apple is either refusing service under warranty and dismissing it as a cosmetic issue, or owners say they have been offered a repair even out of warranty.
Apple may want to hurry up and deal with this because a law firm appears to be collecting data in preparation for a possible class action lawsuit.
