[QUOTE="badshoehabit, post: 1750062, member: 210116"] Beg to differ, Nick. I got 374,000 results when I did a google search (retina coating problems) on this issue and had heard of it through mainstream media before getting my first retina model (Sept 2015) so I would say it probably is widespread. Apple are backward in coming forward on issues like this until publicity or class action prompts them into reacting. My own experience with logic board failures (four...or is it five, I've lost count) shows that users have to search far and wide for information and be very persistent. When I first experienced problems in early 2013, Apple denied any history and comments here and and in other Mac forums suggested I was unlucky; that there weren't widespread problems. Can't be bothered to relist all the faff (it's in some threads on the forum) but I discovered eventually, through facebook, that there was a repair extension programme, which actually ended up running for four years.
