Apple Silicon iMacs appear to suffer from screen deterioration after two years — flood of user complaints hit Apple Community forums

about two years

How convenient.

Pathetically weak flex cable and connector. Obvious problem and design weakness that's persisted for years.

Apple builds obsolescence into their products on purpose.

If you'd bought a PC, a faulty screen would be easily replaceable. I had to replace my laptop screen myself several years ago, and with a $60 part and ten minutes on youtube, it was an easy repair.

Hmm. I'm still using a 2014 iMac, as its 27" 5k screen still very good for coding (with added memory). Sometimes develops a bunch of thin vertical lines, which come and go maybe dependent on temperature, but hasn't changed for for ten years and i can live with those. Just wish they'd continue providing security updates for it.

What does this have to do with "Apple Silicon"? Unless it's not screen deterioration, but something with graphic output.

Just bought myself a late 2011 17" MacBook Pro, it was listed as untested but I took the gamble... Yeah, its logic board turned out to be dead.

I bought far older ThinkPads for less money that worked perfectly.

Yes, Apple! :-) Obviously Apple doesn't have the win margins to put proper parts in their hardware...

Just yesterday I realized my Thinkpad Edge 330 is running w/o any trouble for 11 years now, cost me little above 300€, brand new back then. :-)

Yeah, depending on how widespread this is, it's probably worse than staingate.

I bought a 2014 MacBook Pro earlier this year, I got a good deal on it partly because it's got severe delamination issues. With dark mode, it doesn't really bother me enough to spend several hours with a bottle of Listerine to fix it yet.
