Ugh. Just change it back already!

I didn't have to pay for the repair because I had AppleCare—an expanded warranty program that offers free repairs for most hardware failures for three years—but the receipt Apple gave me stated that it would have cost more than $700 otherwise.

And having to buy $300 of AppleCare to get repairs for what are design defects in a >$3000 laptop is outrageous. Where are our lemon laws for laptops and smartphones??!

We'll be protected just after Apple terminates the free keyboard replacement program and starts demanding $700 to repair them. Protected by having $700 a year or maybe twice a year to renew your functional MBP keyboard subscription.

Assuming the keyboard replacement time period is over on my 2016 MacBook Pro, I will be selling it this fall so I'm not stuck with it if it fails again.

The numbers on my repair ticket add up to $795 total cost
