I’m not talking about the human stain. In a new knowledge base article, Apple acknowledges the issue quite a few MacBook owners are dealing with. That is the yellowing wrist rests. The article titled “About white MacBooks’ palmrest area” consists of:
If your MacBook is exhibiting discoloration on the top case after some use, please contact AppleCare for service.
That’s not abridged. That’s the whole thing. If one of your poor suffering MacBook owning friends (my envy makes it hard to be too sympathetic) has this problem, point them at this KB article and tell them not to back down.
It’s a little surprising to me how quiet Apple is being about this, with this almost implicit admission of fault.
