Apple Changes Screen for freeįew months later, despite paying extra care in using the Macbook, the screen coating issue become worse, that even a white color background could not hide the stain.įortunately, Apple recognizes that the problem affects a lot of users and has launched a quality program to change affected screen for free. I was forced to change to light theme to make the stain less distracting. The stain on screen are really noticeable and annoying while I was coding in a dark theme text editor. I have browsed through the internet for numerous hours, but have yet to find a way. Because the stain on my screen is concentrated at the spot of frequently used keys (more oily).

Panicked, I immediately tried googling and find that the stain is due to anti-reflective coating wearing off.Īccording to Apple forum and MacRumors, some possible reasons the coating wears off are:


Last year, I bought a Macbook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) to get started in ios development.įew months later, I was shocked to discover stain/scratches, with shape of keyboards starts to appear on the screen.įollowing Apple’s instruction, I dampen a lint-free cloth with water only to clean the computer’s screen.īut the stain stubbornly remains no matter how many times I try.
