Apple's $50 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit over its butterfly keyboard design has received final approval, paving the way for payouts ranging from $50 to $395 to affected MacBook users. The butterfly keyboard, introduced in 2015, faced widespread issues like keys sticking or breaking, leading to multiple lawsuits. Despite attempts to address problems through revisions, users continued to experience difficulties. The settlement, approved by a US judge, allocates a significant portion to attorneys but ensures compensation for impacted MacBook owners. While some argued for higher payouts, the judge deemed the settlement fair and reasonable. Over 86,000 claims were submitted before the March deadline, with no specified timeline for payouts. The lawyers involved aim to distribute the funds promptly. This resolution marks a significant step in addressing the long-standing keyboard problems faced by MacBook users.
