Last Friday it was announced that Apple has set up a free repair program for both the iPhone X and the MacBook. Apple has identified and acknowledged a problem with both products.
iPhone X
The problem with the iPhone X can be described as a display-related component. It was found that the screen suddenly stops responding to touches. In addition, the screen can also respond suddenly without being touched. Both symptoms have the same defective component as a cause.
This is the model that was produced in 2017. Apple assures the iPhone users that this problem only concerns the iPhone X. The iPhone Xs, Xs Max, and Xʀ are already protected from this problem. iPhones, which show this defect, are repaired by Apple’s repair program at free cost.

MacBook Pro
The problem with the MacBook Pro is the 13-inch model without TouchBar. The SSD in this model can suddenly stop responding and that can lead to data loss. The problem only occurs with the 128 GB and 256 GB Solid State Drives in MacBook Pro’s manufactured between June 2017 and June 2018. This problem has been known for some time, but a free repair program has now been started.
Earlier a repair program was also started for this model because the battery could swell up. The coating could also be released with this model. That problem was also covered by the guarantee. It does not happen often at Apple that more than one repair program is started for a product. Do you want to know if your MacBook Pro is eligible for this repair program? On Apple’s official website, you can enter the serial number of your laptop. Then you know it immediately.
That’s all for now. Please leave your feedback in the comment section below.
