Apple stepped on the old rake again. The new MacBook Air in Midnight scratches before our eyes
Early reviews of the MacBook Air SoC M2 have shown that the new Midnight color is not the best choice, as a PC in this color is incredibly easily soiled. It turned out that this was not his main problem.
A few days after the start of sales, it became clear that he also scratches very easily. There are already a lot of complaints on the Web, including from bloggers who received laptops in advance.
The area around the USB-C ports gets scratched the fastest. And sometimes it is enough to use the connector just a couple of times.
The MacBook Air M2 looks more amazing than I thought! Unfortunately, the new Midnight color scratches very easily. It’s a USB-C port after literally one use
Our colleagues at 9to5mac also found peeling paint near the touchpad. Apparently, the problem is really massive and quite serious, given that only a couple of days have passed since the start of sales.
Apple has not yet responded to the situation, but at one time with the iPhone 5, the company had a similar problem.
