在我们深入之前，让我们来看看这款机型为我们带来了什么：
-
13.3英寸LED背光IPS视网膜级显示屏，分辨率2560 × 1600（227 dpi）支持P3色域
-
1.4 GHz四核心Intel Core i5处理器（可睿频加速至3.9 GHz）内建Intel Iris Plus 645 GPU
-
板载8 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3内存
-
128 GB、256 GB、512 GB、1 TB或是2 TB PCIe SSD存储
-
双雷雳3（USB-C）端口，支持充电、显示输出、雷电接口以及USB3.1 Gen2
-
Apple T2定制协处理器

¿ Hay algún problema si se reemplaza la batería original de 58.wh con una de 54.5wh ? ¿ o no hay problema ?

-
为了在Touch Bar旁边为Touch ID腾出空间，苹果似乎削短了左侧热管的长度（下侧）。参见2016款“功能键”版本（上侧）。
-
我们需要为此担心吗？散热能力似乎在这些超薄的“Pro”系列笔记本中已经被无视了。新处理器的15W TDP并不比2016款小。
-
在我们的Manta螺丝刀套件的帮助下，我们卸下螺丝，将电池排线卸下以断开电源。
-
在曾经2016款上存活的模块化SSD的位置上，我们剥离了遮盖的贴纸，并看到了一个被焊死的屏蔽罩。这也许不惊讶，但实在让人失望。MacBook Pro产品线上剩下的唯一能升级的组件消失了。
Any soldering can be desoldered…but that’s easier said than done.

-
-
扬声器以及风扇相较于2016年的前辈也更加无力。
-
苹果的音频工程师基本上都是奇才，但我们对在更小的扬声器上保持原有的音质的可能性持有怀疑态度。
-
只有一些六角螺丝固定着这个扬声器，它们并不像其他型号那样被粘合剂固定。这个拆解简单到不能再简单了。
-
这种模块化设计的雷雳接口是一个很好的升级设计。之前它们都是被焊接在主板上的。这种新设计更适合其Pro产品线的特征。
-
接着深入，我们拆出了另一个模块化的杰作：耳机接口。这个模块包括了耳机接口、麦克风以及Touch ID，拆解更换无需对主板大动干戈。
The predecessor was the mid-2017 Function Keys MacBook Pro 13”, not the late-2016 model.
Apparently that headphone jack module has a Hall-effect sensor that is extremely fragile and will be ruined if you touch it. Oh, and the whole assembly is so fragile you’re suppose to replace it every time it gets removed.
a este modelo se le puede cambiar el ssd? o esta fijo y soldado?

I love how professional these breakdowns have become over the years!
SSD chips do go bad over time; most vendors recommend total replacement after 240 gigabytes of overwrites per gigabyte of chip. Soldering down the SSD flash chips means these machines need Ball Grid Array rework when reconditioned for resale after lease return. Apple will be doing that rework, so we can maybe assume the ticklish microsurgery doesn't phase them?
Why solder them down in the first place? Because of the T2 chip. T2 is very…possessive of SSD memory.
But apple is not gonna do the repair beyond the warranty, so I don't believe it's a consolation that apple would do that repair when I buy computers to last me a decade. You seem even a bit optimistic about this.

I’m very curious about SSD failures over time. Are there are any stats out there? I’m talking about the high quality NAND used in the likes of Apple SSDs and not USB/SD-card failures.

Ya no. Nearly every consumer grade SSD comes with a 5 year warranty (or ~150 TBW per 250 GB). An SSD will last for decades without issue or loss of space. Modern SSDs eclipse traditional HDDs and even those these days can last a good chunk of time (my NAS is purring and it’s HDDs are about 6 years old).
When you say “most vendors” I’m sure you meant to say no one. People have long been crunching theoretical usage patterns in most general consumer usage against SSDs and have figured they’ll last something like 15 years, give or take. Obviously it depends on your usage pattern, but if you wrote 20 GB per day, every day for the life of drive, you’ll hit the manufacturers estimates in ~ 20 years (150 TBW per 250 GB). And that’s the bottom end. So at the bare minimum, with even aggressive usage (45GB a day), you’re likely going to see 10 years, easy. That’s if the drive dies right at 150 TBW/250GB, which is pretty %#*@ unlikely.

@Tiem, you must work for APple as you’re trying to stand proud on false data. That’s Apple marketing style 100%. So..let’s clear the air before your willful misuse of data spreads as ignorance. • 60 to 150 TBW , which takes your 20 yr span and cut is down to about 7. • ..So a SPAN of 7-20 years. • ..I won’t go on about the rest of your abuse of information relay with puffed chest ego writing. • ..SSDs can fail -> making a $40-$100 fix into a $1000 apple repair. (sarcasm with a smile in good fun: … Or am I wrong and it’s a possible death trip to !&&* where Apple swoops in and saves you for $1000 ?) USE FULL & REAL DATA! — Enjoy your week everyone!
Ram, processor bump isn’t that significant. More ram will help it feel snappier after you have more background tasks going.
Both, you can’t decide later on. But if you really are pushed for one, do the RAM, or better still the SSD size.
Totally RAM for sure.
pop -
RAM obviously. Processor is limited by cooling - upgrade to the other 13’ with double cooling fans if you need more CPU performance.
Good overview. A throwaway device should be at throwaway prices. Apple could give these things away if the customer would sign a long term rental agreement for iCloud Drive, Apple Music, and other Apple rental units. I do like the repairability and upgradeability of my 2012 MBP though.
How about a complete keyboard replacement due to a liquid damage?
How easy it is to replace it.
People say that the Mac Book Pro is quiet and not hot.
I don’t wonder why. I wonder why do they buy it.
Doing stuff that need less than 7W TDP call for a 7W TDP Atom (or, slightly better, Celeron or i3 or i5). You don’t need this in a expensive, irreparable platform.) Yes it look cool. I would say Microsoft Surface is better (CHEAPER?! seriously, apple.)
Solder-on HARDDRIVE? What the what.
Let’s face it. When your computer broke down (not the connector, not the keyboard, since most often it’s the motherboard), and you are stuck with two soldered on-board chips guarded by T2, I don’t know what you would like to do.
When any other computer broke down you can at least have a chance to visit your harddrive’s contents by pulling it out.
Connect the surface mount chip to another surface mount device to inspect it? Sure. But who will do that?
Да и вообще SSD на 128 Гб в 2019 году - это просто бред. Apple, WTF?
My MacBook Pro 2011 has 320 Gb!
Reminds me of the inside of an iphone, or ipad Looks as though Apple has applied the success of that technology to their laptop line. Thus making their laptop just another version of that design. It is inevitable that the iPad and Laptop will eventually morph into one as they are coming so close together in operational capability at this point. This appears to confirm that assumption Basically this 2019 macbook pro is nothing more than an iPad design, with external ports and a keyboard. I’m not at all surprised.

About the comments concerning the SSD lifetime: I had a Mid-2012 Retina Macbook Pro bought 7 years ago, a few days after it came out. It had the first SSD in a MacBook Pro, the first Retina display and I maxed it out to 16GB RAM. I’ll have to admit that I had my doubts about the longevity of the SSD at the time.
Well that MacBook Pro got used heavily at least 10 hours a day for 7 years until finally the logic board died. I took out the SSD and I’m still using it inside an enclosure, attached via USB to my new Mac!
Surely the SSD technology has improved since 2012? But even if the tech hasn’t improved at all, I can tell you from experience that your MacBook SSD will most likely outlast the usable lifetime of the laptop (or other components).

Completely agree - there was a webpage about an SSD test where 250GB drives were continuously written until they failed. TLDR - every 250GB of SSD provide 25 years of heavy office use (based on actual heaviest office use among the place running an experiment). So a 1TB drive is good for a century of realistic heavy workload. Even with QLC that has 1/3 of an endurance these are ridiculously long life times that only concern Cloud servers and the like.
So this is the Touch Bar version? What about the non touch bar version, does it still have a replaceable SSD for this years model?
@gadgetuser The non-Touch Bar version has been reworked into what you see in this teardown—Apple reconfigured it and added a Touch Bar. In other words, all MacBook Pros now come with a Touch Bar. If you want a Touch Bar-less notebook computer new from Apple in 2019, the Retina MacBook Air is your only option.
In my opinion, every claim Apple makes about being environmentally responsible and their products being recyclable is nullified by their continued policy of intentionally engineered obsolescence. Hard soldering in RAM and SSD, and glueing in the battery serves no-one but Apple and since recycling is the least best option compared to repair or re-use, their hypocrisy is staggering. Sure, we like thin products but not that much. Why don’t they try launching a 2mm thicker variant of the MacBook Pro with user replaceable RAM, industry standard SSD and battery, and standard USB ports, then see which one users will end up buying. I for one would certainly prefer to know that my money is buying something that will still be working or repairable in 10 years time rather than the current time-bombs Apple is producing where the SSD and battery WILL fail as the technology is inherently degenerative.
“…as the technology is inherently degenerative.”
“…glueing in the battery serves no-one but Apple…”
“…recycling is the least best option compared to repair or re-use…”
When you make false statements like that, you can create all kinds of incorrect conclusions. Let me correct you.
SSD life and reliability is better than it has ever been. The same can be said of Li battery life.
Permanently attaching the battery lowers the cost (consumer benfit), prevents shifting (consumer benefit), and allows for more space and thus the maximum size battery / capacity (consumer benefit). It motivates the manufacturer to use batteries of the highest quality, since they know that every user who has to have their battery replaced prematurely results in a negative mark on the company, and potential loss of future sales (qualtiy battery = consumer benefit).
Every item you use goes into a landfill. Recycling puts it into a finite ‘recycling’ loop, but every product eventually leaves that loop and goes into the ground. Think about that.
This model just has one fan. The higher-end MacBook Pro models have two.
does this model feature a data recover port like earlier models with soldered-on SSD's?
For all those complaining about upgrades, remember that Macs are targeted towards users who don’t tinker with their systems. They just want something that works out of the box. To that end, the MacBook Pro does that. We use them for our creative department at work; I use them for my IT work. We have a ton of PC laptops too. We service the PC laptops all day. We never touch the Mac laptops, because they just work. We have super old MacBooks that are still serviceable with the OEM components.
Also remember that software is coded for specific hardware. Programmers are not going to create code that’s backward compatible forever, and eventually support gets dropped for older hardware. Typical consumers don’t need a computer that lasts forever. They need, and want, one that works with current applications and fits in with the current trends.
The previous year macbooks had a major issue where the display connector backlight pin (a high voltage pin) was next to a low voltage pin that goes directly to the CPU (potentially, and historically, frying CPU’s). Did they fix that in this model and stick a ground pin between the two?
What about the 4 thunderbolt version? Could you provide a tear down for that version because I know if is very different. There are two fans instead of the one in this one.

I don´t feel good at all about the fact that the SSD are soldered down on my MBP Touch Bar. People say that the SSD will outlast the computer anyway, but i mean surely an SSD can go bad at any point i guess? You have all kinds of health parameters like bad block count, retired block count, uncorrectable error count, etc. etc. I dont want to start to see the numbers on those parameters getting higher and higher on my soldered down SSD.
And on my MBP 2011 where i have installed an SATA SSD, i averaged about 30GB writes per day, only from computer processes, without me writing to the disk.
What are the solutions for a failed SSD which is soldered down, can it even be replaced by anybody else than Apple? Im thinking about the fact that the T1/T2 chip seems to be involved with the SSD?
And how much does Apple charge for the job of replacing an SSD?
But where 128gb ssd ????
