Hello guys,
I'm about to complete the purchase of a 2015 13" MBP, and have read about the anti-reflective coating wear issue.
In order to make an informed decision at the time of the transaction, I'd like to capitalize on our collective experience over the last few years and get a "helicopter view" of this issue. Hence my questions:
-What percentage of computers (approximately) experienced the issue?
-Are there any reasonable ways to prevent it from happening?
-Has Apple done any sort of improvement over the lifespan of the rMBP that would make a 2015 a better purchase?
-If a computer has the issue, I've read removing the coating entirely is a (cheap) solution. How useable is the screen after this? Is it comparable to a non retina early 2010s MBP, which to my knowledge had no anti-reflective coating?
-Overall, compared to what we know of the "flexgate", which is worse?
Best regards,
Alex
