Apple immediately replaced the display on my late 2013 MacBook Pro after I reported this problem last week. I had only cleaned the display a few times, always using a damp microfiber cloth. I purchased an extended warranty when I bought the computer, so AppleCare paid for the repair.
Lucky you. But this is a problem that should be solved independent of warranty. The quality of the display is clearly not reaching customer expectations.
I totally agree. If I hadn't purchased AppleCare and I was asked to pay $700 for the repair, I would be very upset! This is clearly a manufacturing defect, and Apple will eventually have to address it in a systematic way.
