Apple
is warning users of its latest Macbook Pro about an issue with the laptop that
may cause data corruption. The tech giant released a firmware update on
Wednesday to fix a problem on the laptop's flash storage component. The 15-inch
mid 2015 range Retina model is affected, with corruption occurring in
"rare cases", the company said.
News
of the warning comes as thousands of Macbook owners are campaigning for action
over stains appearing on the laptop's retina screen. Users that have been
affected by stains spreading across their laptop screens are worried about the
expensive service fees they will have to pay once the warranties or protection
plans expire.
However,
the firmware update on the latest model does not sound like a major problem at
the moment, said Stuart Miles, founder of gadget news site Pocket-lint. "It's
not like a massive product recall in the same light as a car that has a faulty
brake," he told the BBC.
The
newest 15in Macbook Pro is the slimmest and lightest to date and sells for a
starting price of £1,599.
