Dear MacBook Pro users, Here’s how you can help pressure Apple to do the right thing: 1) PLEASE CONTACT DARING FIREBALL Daring Fireball is arguably the world’s most influential Apple blog. http://www.daringfireball.net We need John Gruber to write about this petition! Please send an email to: comments@daringfireball.net And please CC: MacBookPetition@gmail.com so I know you sent the email. Please write a short, polite note, an example of which follows: “Dear John, Please cover this petition asking Apple to recall the MacBook Pro’s defective keyboard, and replace it with a redesigned keyboard that works reliably: https://www.change.org/p/apple-apple-recall-macbook-pro-w-defective-keyboard-replace-with-different-working-keyboard Over 10,000 of us signed in less than 80 hours, which has to be a record for a petition directed at Apple. We’re now over 12,000 signatures. You previously called this ‘one of the biggest design screwups in Apple history.’ Our voices deserve to be heard. Please keep in mind that 99% of MacBook Pro owners who are using this unreliable keyboard don’t yet even know about the petition’s existence.” (Optionally, include a comment about your personal experience with the keyboard problems.) - YOUR NAME HERE Something like that. Phrase it however you want in your own words. Or, just copy and paste the above. FYI, here's Daring Fireball's most recent story about MBP keyboard problems. This story was the last straw that convinced me I had to start this petition: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2018/04/25/johnston-mbp-keyboard 2) Tweet and Facebook! Please post the petition to your Twitter and Facebook pages, and encourage everyone who is affected by this issue to sign the petition! https://www.change.org/p/apple-apple-recall-macbook-pro-w-defective-keyboard-replace-with-different-working-keyboard 3) Apple Support, Reddit, and MacRumors Threads Please post our petition to as many of threads as possible!

In the near future, we will start targeting larger mainstream outlets. However, let’s give it a few days and get Daring Fireball to cover it. The moment DF covers the petition, chances increase that other media outlets will pick it up. If you contact anyone in the media about the petition, please CC: MacBookPetition@gmail.com OTHER UPDATES • 12,00 Total signatures! As mentioned above, we’re over 12,000! As mentioned • Any word from Apple yet? Nope. We’re only a few days in, so let’s keep growing the petition, and give Apple a chance to respond. Hopefully, their response will be constructive. • Media coverage to date Just do a search on Google News for “MacBook Pro keyboard petition” and you’ll find the articles easily.
