However it seems that it might have affected more users than expected as a class-action lawsuit was filed against Apple several years ago, with an online petition managing to rack up over 40,000 signatures. Introduced in January 2006, it is the higher-end model of the MacBook family. There was no explanation given for the removal of the 2011 models, but given that it has been 6 years since the laptops were released, we guess it would be a bit unreasonable to expect Apple to keep them covered forever.įor those unfamiliar with this repair program, basically there were a small set of MacBook Pro models that were experiencing video glitches due to faulty GPUs inside their laptops. The MacBook Pro is a line of Macintosh notebook computers by Apple Inc. However the good news is that the Retina mid-2012 and early-2013 15-inch MacBook Pros are still eligible for the repair program, so if you are using those models then you should still be covered for now. A group of updated support documents point out that Apple is still covering 15-inch Retina models of the Pro from 20, as long as they were bought less than four years ago. This applies to both the 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro models. The bad news: Apple is no longer offering extended support for its 2011 MacBook Pro notebooks via its Repair Extension Program for Video Issues. However that program has since come to an end for the 2011 models, according to Apple. 'The program covers affected MacBook Pro models until Decemor four years from its original date of sale, whichever provides longer coverage for you. You're covered so long as you bought a 15- or 17-inch MacBook Pro between early 2011 and the end of 2013, including the first two generations of Retina models.
If you bought a 2011 MacBook Pro and you were experiencing video issues, know that Apple had a repair program running that would address the issue for you. The repair programme for 2011 MBP's was extended until Dec 31st 2016.
