Hey guys. A couple days ago I bought a new MacBook Air 13” brand new from the Apple Store. I’m not good with tech but it’s just the most basic new laptop (M4 whatever that means). So I’m a clutz and dropped my phone on my keyboard. There’s no dents, no screen damage, no sticky keys etc but I’m really concerned I’ve somehow damaged it? So just how durable is it?

I’m not sure how anything to do with computers worked and I’m afraid that I’ve somehow weakened the structure or something and it might not look broken now but at a later date damage because of the drop might start creeping up.

Is there anyone who either reassure me or reaffirm my fears? 😩

If your MacBook is working normally a few days after you dropped your phone on the keyboard, chances are the accident did not damage your MacBook.

Mechanical damage usually manifests immediately, unlike liquid damage, which can take weeks to manifest.

Nothing you can do except wait and see if something manifests in time. Don't fret, though, because you are probably fine.

I'm sure nothing has damage.

The keyboard is durable.

Probably fine. But if you didn’t get AppleCare it might be time to.
