hi, I looked for the exact answer to the question in many places, but I couldn't find it. I understand that the display replacement problem only affects the 14" mbp because of the chip, correct?
Hi! This guide is for the MacBook Air 15" 2023. We swapped screens between two of these models and found no artifacts. The same is true for the MacBook Air 2022.
You're correct about the MacBook Pros. As this article explains, the problem is with the 14" M1 and M2 MacBook Pro models. The 16" models didn't have artifacts.
