A good number of 2015 MacBook Pro owners are complaining anew due to user interface lag on OS X Yosemite and the laptop's display coating peeling off.
According to some commenters in the discussion forum on MacRumors, the user interface lag on OS X Yosemite causes a "slow or choppy animations and graphics" in several areas of the operating system, including launching Mission Control or Launchpad, opening full-size applications, redefining window size and web page scrolling.
In Apple's support community, some Retina MacBook Pros were also complained about the anti-reflective covering becoming peeling off. Devices afflicted include mid-2012 to mid-2014 models sold between June 2012 and present.
With the UI lag issue, the primary solution provided in the discussion by some experienced users include rebooting the device's PRAM. Increasing contrast and decreasing transparency under the Accessibility menu in system Preferences can also work as a short-term solution.
New Macs understandably will encounter sluggish system run for the first few times it is used. One necessary measure is to clean up download of OS X Yosemite to see if it comes from the backed up files. The anti-reflective covering peels off when pressure of the keys and trackpad on the display is closed. While some users reported only a part of the Mac's screen, some also complained the entire display wearing off.
Apple provided a solution to the matter by the use of third-party cleaning solutions and microfiber cloths. However, a commenter on MacRumor's forum stressed that when wiping off the screen's skin scratches the peelings only spread wider, including the premises of the camera and the rest of the display's top bezel.
Although some users can avail of the one-year warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan, others were told by the tech giant that the cosmetic damage cannot be covered and instead recommended to repair the device with a service fee.
Just last March 17, an unofficial website called Staingate was created to gather Mac owners who have the same concerns.
