Apple is sued for knowingly selling 15-inch MacBooks with the 'stage light' issue Henry Kwan - Apr 01, 2021 Apple has gotten itself into a problem by knowingly selling defective MacBooks. According to the source, a class action lawsuit has been filed against the company over the MacBook Pro's 'stage light' fault. The court has also claimed that there is sufficient evidence to prove the company is aware of the issue before putting the MacBooks into the market. iFixit claimed that the 'stage light' issue happens as thin, fragile flex cables are used in the affected models instead of beefier wire cables. Within a short period, the stress of repeated openings and closings will eventually lead to those much thinner wire cables starting to fatigue and tear, therefore causing the 'stage light' problem.
