Third user had a witty take on the Apple company. “apple has inbuilt antvirus,” he said.
Amid all the comments on the post, one of the users tried giving an explanation, saying that he faced a similar issue in the past. “Most likely it did not go into screen. This insect is most likely an egg that was in the screen during manufacturing. The heat generated during laptop use helped it hatch. I had the same issue around 2020. Had to fight with Apple Support in India to get the screen replaced for free. They tried to blame it on me lol.”

However, Aditya expressed his disapproval of the theory given by the user. “No way it was inside since past 4 years (bought in 2020). Actually, on my desk I’ve noticed these tiny ants, so maybe it could’ve entered from the charging port cavity or any other entry point in the hardware,” he responded.
