Apple is warning users of its latest Macbook Pro about an issue with the laptop that may cause data corruption.

The tech giant released a firmware update on Wednesday to fix a problem on the laptop's flash storage component.

The 15-inch mid 2015 range Retina model is affected, with corruption occurring in "rare cases", the company said.

News of the warning comes as thousands of Macbook owners are campaigning for action over stains appearing on the laptop's retina screen.

(Incidentally...this device has a starting price of £1599......)

You'd expect with a price tag like that that there wouldn't be any issues but also why would you pay that
