Apple has initiated a worldwide battery exchange program for certain rechargeable batteries that were sold for use with 15-inch MacBook Pro computer systems from February 2006 through May 2006.
We recently discovered that some 15-inch MacBook Pro batteries supplied to Apple do not meet our high standards for battery performance. To give our users the best experience possible, we will replace these batteries for customers free of charge.
A few weeks back news of a manufacturing defect which caused white MacBooks to yellow proliferated on every corner of the net. Having heard little about the above battery issue concerning MacBook Pro’s, why couldn’t Apple do something similar with the cases?
They probably didn’t do anything about cases because cases are harder to remove than batteries.
Didn’t I read that they are replacing discolored cases?
Cases are being replaced. However, a public statement has yet to be announced.
I think it’s because they believe they can get away with discoloured cases – not everyone will request a replacement – and cases are less likely to be harmful if they fail. Whereas a battery failure can cause harm and possibly serious damage to the user and/or personal property.
