Apple today released a new EFI Update for the 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro, which is designed to fix issues
that caused the built-in keyboard and trackpad to freeze up and stop
functioning. Apple recommends that all late 2013 13-inch Retina MacBook
Pro owners install the update.
Multiple threads on Apple's Support Forums highlighted the issues and prompted Apple to notify users last week that it was working on a fix. While it was unclear whether the keyboard and trackpad unresponsiveness was due to a hardware or a software issue, it appears to be software-based and repairable with the EFI update.
The EFI update should be available through the Software Update tool in the Mac App Store for all users with an affected MacBook. Apple has also released an EFI update for the late 2013 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro.
