Apple agreed to a $50 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that past MacBook laptops were sold with a defective butterfly keyboard.

According to an Apple class action lawsuit, these laptops were equipped with defective keyboards that caused repeated sticking or failure of keys. Plaintiffs in the case claim Apple knew its 2015 to 2019 laptops were defective but failed to take action to fix the problem. Instead, Apple allegedly forced consumers to foot the bill for costly repairs.

Apple hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $50 million class action settlement to resolve these claims.
