IFixit promises that it will share more details from its MacBook Pro teardown over the coming days. While some more digging and testing will be required to know what exactly this means, iFixit says that the change means the new MacBook Pro has the first battery design that is “reasonable” for do-it-yourself replacements since 2012. Not entirely! We removed the trackpad and, lo and behold, there are cut-outs to access the pull tabs that hold the middle battery cells in place. But wait, we don’t see any pull tabs on the middle cells. The four outer battery cells have easily-noticeable pull tabs, which are the typical thin white strips we know and love from the iPhone and MacBook Air. That could mean battery swaps without removing all the brains first-a procedure we’ve been dreaming about for a while. But as we peer into the guts, we notice something we haven’t seen in a long time in a MacBook Pro, three words that make our hair stand on end: battery pull tabs.Įven better, it appears the battery isn’t trapped under the logic board. Authentic and brand new product available within a very affordable price range.
