Apple extends program to fix damaged displays on 12-inch Retina MacBooks

Apple devices have had their fair share of problems lately, with the 2016 MacBook Pro eliciting a few complaints of its own. The company isn’t alone, of course — computer problems are a constant theme among users and those who support them.
Apple does, though, have a well-earned reputation for fixing problems that crop up with its machines and its customer service is arguably one of the most important reasons why it remains a dominant technology company. Its recent decision to extend a program to fix problems with 12-inch Retina MacBook and MacBook Pro displays is a demonstration of why Apple’s reputation is so strong, MacRumors reports.
The specific problem involves the anti-glare coating on the displays of certain MacBook and MacBook Pro machines. Apparently, numerous customer machines have seen the coating wear away or delaminate, sometimes with spectacularly bad results. The problem is so widespread that a related Facebook group boasts over 9,000 members and anyone who wants to see what the issue

looks like can visit a website hosting an extensive gallery.
Apple isn’t publicizing this particular program and MacRumors had to go straight to Apple to confirm that the program is still underway. Affected machines go all the way back to those purchased in June 2012 and Apple will replace screens through October 16, 2017, or for three years after purchase, whichever is longer.
Apple is replacing the screens at no cost on machines suffering from the problem. To get your machine evaluated, you will need to contact Apple support or, better yet, set up an appointment with the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or other authorized Apple repair center. Apple may not be going out of its way to let you know that your machine might be covered by the program, but they’re apparently more than willing to take care of you once you take that initial step.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

UPDATE  1 : 2019/12/16 4:35AM PST Previous rollouts UPDATE  2 : 2020/01/06 2:15AM PST Canada Two weeks after the  Galaxy S10 line received its stable One UI 2.0 build , it’s time for the Galaxy Note10 and Note10+ to get the latest Android flavor. According to a report by  SamMobile , the two late-2019 Samsung flagships are receiving the Android 10 update in Germany, although the rollout is limited to a small group of beta testers. This stable release follows a  five-round beta testing  that concluded just a couple of days ago. Samsung is rolling out the stable build only to its beta testers in Germany to possibly look out for any major bug. Besides SamMobile, the confirmation also comes from  some Redditors  who got the update in Germany just a few hours back. The same Reddit users also mention that Google Pay remains broken even after installing this final Android 10 firmware, although it wasn’t immediately clear how widespread the issue is. The Android 10-bas
