Apple’s Unexpected Touch‑Turmoil & Storage Slip‑Ups: What You Need to Know
Apple Inc. pulled the curtain on a handful of bugs that have rattled users of the older iPhone X and the 13‑inch MacBook Pro. The tech giant has promised a free fix for anyone caught in the trap. Let’s break it down, highlight what’s affected, and see why Apple is still juggling pricey upgrades and product mishaps.
Where Things Went Wrong
- iPhone X display glitch: The 2017 flagship can misbehave in two ways: it may ignore your touch or, even stranger, react when you’re not touching it at all. Lucky for you, Apple will swap out the fault‑born component in no cost. Importantly, this is only the original iPhone X—those “granddaddy” models now have been replaced by the iPhone XS and iPhone XR.
- MacBook Pro SSD wipe-out: A handful of the 13‑inch MacBook Pro laptops that hit the market between June 2017 and June 2018 have an SSD issue that might erase data or crash the storage drive. Apple says it will repair the affected drives, no charge.

Past Recap
