    • 看,新的MacBook Pro Retina!我们之前在苹果13英寸的专业笔记本电脑上做过这样的事情,但有些东西发生了变化。噢,是触控板!

    • 让我们看看这个神奇的盒子有什么神奇的技术:

    • 13.3英寸,2560*1080像素(227PPI)的Retina视网膜显示屏

    • 2.7或2.9GHz的双核Intel Core i5处理器(可选3.1GHz的双核Intel Core i7处理器)

    • 8GB或16GB的1866MHz LPDDR3板载内存

    • 128GB、258GB、512GB或1TB闪存

    • intel Iris 6100核芯显卡

    • 雷电2、USB3.0以及全尺寸的HDMI接口

    its configurable up to a 3.1GHz dual core i7. The i5 can turbo to 3.3GHz, but thats it :P

    if you look at benchmarks, youll find the i7 isnt that much stronger than the 2.7 i5, so for most people it isnt really worth getting. (think about the added heat as well)

    • 看一下底部面板并没有什么特别的发现——这台MacBook Pro和2013年末的MacBook Pro都是A1502型号

    • 让我们看看他的接口:

    • 在右侧,这台MacBook配备了一个SDXC卡槽、一个HDMI和一个USB3接口

    • 在左侧,有一个MagSafe 2电源接口、两个雷电2接口、另一个USB3接口、一个耳机插孔和两个麦克风

    • 开始拆解。请来点掌声!

    • 看起来这台MacBook Pro继承了前代单风扇的基因……以及其他的事物

    • 实际上,我们注意到的唯一的区别是,在电池顶部新挂着的触控板电缆。除此之外,它与2013年底的版本(第三张图片)非常相似。

    • 看来我们得再深入一点才能找到好东西。

    • 苹果真的在召唤我们吗?我们在2013年末的MacBook Pro 13 Retina上看到的关于电池的警告文字已经消失了。那么,让我们深入挖掘吧!

    • 好吧,也许只是搬迁……但是我们还没有把电池取出来。

    • 当我们第一次移除它的电缆时,Force Touch触控板的神秘面纱是一层一层地展开的。

    • 苹果给我们留下了关于触摸板的诱人指示:“再深入一点,做更多的事情。”好吧,苹果,如果你坚持的话!

    This trackpad cable is proving to be the last straw for me. Not a month off warranty, the keyboard and trackpad on my MBP stopped responding and replacing this poorly-located cable was the only fix. Three months later, I'm having the same problem, albeit intermittently, and I'm probably going to have to replace it yet again. It's not acceptable that this fancy product is sold as a pro-level machine. Frankly, Apple's new engineering ethos is an embarrassment and an insult to the industry, and yet when I look into the competition, I see much the same: fancy products designed to last just beyond the standard warranty. And don't get me started on port adapters. Such a shame.

    To any of you possibly reading this and in any way invested in this cable issue, I did indeed replace the cable back in August (2016) and the machine worked properly until this last week of December (2016) when the problem returned. I'll either have to replace it yet again or move on to a new machine.

    mapercortesia -

    Thanks for providing me another incidence of this cable being the culprit in what seems to be a frequently reported bug on this particular model of the MacBook pro.

    Hi mapercortesia - can you please let https://appelissues.net/ know about the issue and please cite this compendium that is collecting as much information about the issue: http://a1502-2015-macbook-pro-13-trackpa...

    software developer -

    I'm having the same intermittent trackpad and keyboard issue for the last few weeks. I've narrowed it down to the cable based on feedback from people like yourself and would love to know where you procured your replacement cable from (and the part number if you happen to know it).

    dramitkrsharma - 回复

    Hello! I ordered the IPD Trackpad Flex Cable (Item CMP-5726-UTW0) from Command Mac Parts.

    mapercortesia -

    Last update for anyone affected by this issue: this is fundamentally a design flaw. Temperature fluctuations cause the extremely small points of contact between each end of the cable and its respective connector to disengage. Unless the cable itself is truly kaput, reseating it often resolves the problem, but only temporarily. Allowing the machine to adjust to room temperature (after carrying it around outside in colder weather, for example) may also get the keyboard and trackpad working again. Tapping on the case beneath the spacebar, at the base of the trackpad or underneath the trackpad can also get the components working properly. But, again, this is not a permanent solution. I'm not sure if there is a permanent solution. And since carrying an external keyboard and mouse around with me is preposterous (imagine someone sitting in a cafè with a keyboard on their keyboard), I'm not going to deal with this anymore. It will be a long time before I consider purchasing another Apple product.

    mapercortesia - 回复

    Hey mapercortesia. I actually paid Apple to replace the cable. I tried to replace it myself with one off eBay and it worked except for haptic feedback / clicking.

    I can’t work on a crippled device so I took it to Apple immediately. I didn’t bother to check if others had the haptic feedback issue with replacement cable, but that is indeed the case. And there’s 2 part numbers for the cable (one is a revised one that Apple tries to remedy the issue with - but still fails).

    Under Australia Consumer Law Guarantee a product must be of acceptable quality free from defect and fit for purpose (e.g. you can use keyboard & mouse). This trackpad cable is, as you say, a design flaw and not durable and fails that test. However this law only applies for products with a reasonable lifetime expectancy. Apple in Australia uses only two factors on deciding reasonable lifetime: (1) when the fault happened and (2) the age of the product.

    Apple says: “your laptop is 4 years old, which is 12 months older than expected lifetime”.

    software developer -

    Here is an actively maintained compendium of this issue: http://a1502-2015-macbook-pro-13-trackpa...

    I urge anyone having this issue please contact https://appleissues.net/ and let them know that this is a widespread well known issue that Apple has not acknowledged and link to above.

    • 操作:我们正在取下电池!因为我们以前见过视网膜MacBook Pro,所以我们有了一些视觉上的问题,但是你不会听到,因为说话者是下一个。

    • 曾经有四个螺丝把电池架固定在一个地方(可能是多余的,用了所有的粘合剂),现在换成四个橡胶塞子。

    • 前一代的粘合剂看起来很强大,那么苹果是否会把这些螺丝钉拿走,因为它们根本就不需要,或者因为它们现在不需要了?也许一种更强的粘合剂使这些螺丝变得不必要了?我们一想到这个想法就不寒而栗。

    • 如果这是一场你想要的战斗,苹果,你会得到的。正如古老的Klingon谚语所说,今天是想要推翻电池的好日子。

    • 有了我们信任的工具、iOpener和塑料卡,我们开始加热和撬开电池,小心不要用来刺穿任何“有可能着火或燃烧的东西”。

    • 这些组件被精心设计以避免被我们的眼睛发现。我们使用塑料开启工具来推动触控板控制板的移动,但不移除它。

    • 苹果公司决定将最大的电缆焊接到触控板上,这意味着我们现在只能把它暂时抛在了路上。Y U NO ZIF,苹果?

    • 这个新的触控板有一些新的IC:

    • ST微电子 32F103 基于ARM Cortex-M的微控制器

    • Broadcom BCM5976触控屏幕控制器

    • 这和我们在iPhone 5s和iPad Air中发现的一样

    • 啊,我们开始了艰难的过程,将这种未成熟的电池粘合剂去除。在我们看来,粘合剂应该是一种可控的物质,而且只能负责任地使用。

    • 我们知道苹果可以做得更好,因为我们已经看到它,就像昨天一样。

    • 中间的电池块似乎比过去几年更难清除了。也许我们只是较弱。

    • 在电池背后是……泥状物质。要么苹果认为你不需要更换电池,要么有人不小心把它浸在焦油中。

    • 我们进行了一系列的工作,移除了这个74.9Whr的锂聚合物电池阵列。

    • 苹果公司声称,这款新的11.42V,74.9Whr的电池可以提供长达10小时的网页浏览和长达12小时的视频播放功能。

    • 在2013年的型号中,我们有71.8 Whr的电池容量,所以我们增加了4%的容量,额外增加了11%的运行时间。我们将把剩下的部分用在Broadwell处理器的能效提升上。

    • 然而,戴尔XPS 13却在52Wh的电池上管理着一个高清屏幕和一个(据称)11小时的运行时间。

    • 这是一种熟悉的视网膜MacBook Pro设计,德州仪器BQ20Z451气体测量仪,测量电池寿命。

    • 这个IC应该类似于BQ20Z45,或者它的替代品,BQ20Z45-r1。

    Not sure if anyone here knows this off the top of their head (or if anyone will read it..), but I assume the BQ20Z451 is based around a coulomb counter. How much energy is “wasted” by the CC in the process of measuring?

    • 在触控板下方的金属轨道上,磁铁快速地推动和拉动,每点击一次,就会产生一个微小的“嗡嗡”反馈(以及“强力点击”的第二个嗡嗡声)。

    • 这就解释了嗡嗡声,但是感觉如何呢?

    • 去年发布的一项专利表明,Force Touch可能会利用应变仪来测量其表面的压力。

    • 我们只需要打开一个线圈来看看是否有这样的情况。

    Patent applications related to that trackpad were published in the end of 2013, under an unknown applicant name: Yknots Industries LLC, in Delaware... See for example http://www.google.com/patents/WO20131883..., http://www.google.com/patents/WO20131656..., among others. Once those worldwide patent applications enter in national phases (such as US), they become assigned to Apple Inc.

    Does Apple create fake company entities to conceal its published patent applications?

    Wouldn’t that be at least some counterproductive to Apple, in terms of it’s valuation regarding patents that they have but don’t/haven’t/don’t-ever-intend-to-use? Of course, that assumes that anyone *cares* about that, unless “Time Apple” *really* screws up, it goes back 20 years and manages to drop to a few cents and become a takeover target.

    But if Apple decided to license those (hypothetical) “never intend to use” patents.. Or to let them be used in ways that Apple would never actually *do* (because it was too complicated for “the simple folk” in terms of industrial/UX design").

    So will I be able to order their proprietary SSD from Apple and then be able to upgrade? Will they (Apple) do the upgrade for a charge (albeit a very steep charge)? Say 128 to 512? Surely third parties will as well once warranty goes out on the model..

    Why is the thermal pipe not touching the GPU die?

    Jack - 回复

    The thermal pipe contact surface does cover the combined CPU+GPU die completely, so no problem there (though it looks like there's an awful lot of thermal paste on iFixits device...).

    The part I think you're looking at (clean with no thermal paste and too far from the thermal pipe contact surface to be covered by it) is the PCH die, which apparently doesn't put off enough heat to matter.

    Speculating, if they HAD extended the thermal pipe contact surface to the PCH, it would almost certainly have transferred some of the heat coming off the CPU+GPU die over to the PCH, which in addition to being counterproductive, might be something the PCH can't handle :)

    This repairability score seems particularly harsh to me. Pentalobe screws - so? You get a tool and you can open it easily. Battery replacement - yes, difficult, but possible, especially with the guides provided here. SSD - easily available so that comment is overly harsh. I'd give it a 3 or 4. To me, "repairability" is the ability to be repaired, not so much a commentary on how difficult it is. Several components can be replaced, so that's good.

How are the SSDs propriotery? They are just a M.2 SSD available in most places! The Samsung ones are just harder to get.

theodorlas - 回复

They appear to be M.2 but they aren't. If you look closely to the connector you can spot some differences.

Andre Fonseca -

It's the same as in the old Macbook Retina. A Proprietary connector, it's a modified SATA3 connector. Every macbook aberration has even its own form factor. So upgradability will be not possible that easy.

ydar -

I would edit the part "Pay for the upgrade now, or be stuck with 8 GB forever. There is no chance of upgrade."

It should rather say "There is no chance of upgrade FOR THE ORDINARY PEOPLE OUT THERE."

I don't know how skilled at soldering technicians you have in the US, but from where I come from (Czech Republic), I work with a guy who can do wonders, and that includes upgrading, usually the 2012 15" Retina Macbooks Pro from 8GB Ram to 16GB ram.

And if there's something this guy can't do, then he has his Polish friends who can resurrect computers that 99.9% technicians out there would consider unrepairable, dead, useless weight.

I wish I had their skills. I guess there's a long way ahead of me

Marhowl - 回复

Actually he is correct. The 2012 15" retina has the RAM soldered to the board. The 2012 15" without the retina display does have removable RAM chips. So yes upgrading the 2012 Retina does take some pretty good soldering skills. Here is an image of the 2012 15" Retina motherboard

I think the PCIe 3.0 SSD is not a good reason to give this a 1 score. First off, it's smaller. And then it's super fast, has less protocol overhead and can virtually be upgraded with any future PCIe compatible SSD provided Apple builds the support required inside OS X.

Noooooooop. This is not a standard M.2 SSD. It's got a proprietary connector.

I'd like a comparison with the old trackpad to see how it compares. Check overall volume,part volume, part location, height of system and parts, all weights... Maybe edge sealing around the pad...

The point being that I want to know how much does this actually gain or loose. That new Lenovo is about 15% lighter when compared to the new macbook so I'm curious where the weight is coming from.

This means if I have a mid-2014 13" Retina and I buy a new 2015 13" Retina I can't swap the SSD? I was hoping I could, I have a 1TB model now, I'd like to move my SSD into a new 13" Retina.

Does the Force Touch trackpad have the same connection and mounts as the old Macbook Pro trackpad? Thinking about retrofits here.

Great teardown as usual. "Proprietary" was the beginning of the end for IBM - anybody remember the PS2? Apple is getting cocky and not caring about its customer base the way Microsoft did in the 90s - which led to its irrelevancy of today. Not letting your customers upgrade their SSD down the road is simply cruel, like a doctor telling a patient s/he will only get one battery for the pacemaker. It will come back to bite Apple, as history has proven many times. Anybody remember Apple being close to bankruptcy in the late nineties?

yep and lets not even mention the terrible quality of the iPhone 6 and 6+, they are either out of touch or simply dont care

Any chance you can retrofit the force track pad to a late 2013 retina macbook pro?

I knew when Steve Jobs died that Apple would not be able to carry on satisfying customers. It only took a couple of generations of the Macbook to alienate the customer. The many changes are not for us, they're for Apple. Old trick - planned obsolescence. If you cannot upgrade the device you have to buy a new one sooner. Great for Apple - bad for customer. But wait, what if customer no longer buys them? I refuse to buy any computer that I cannot upgrade. And I know I'm not the only one. History is repeating itself. No Jobs = bad decisions at Apple. Sell your stock boys, this time he ain't commin' back!

Cave Dave - 回复

Sorry to break it to you but Steve Jobs was the one who first decided Apple should take the closed system approach way back in the 1980's with the introduction of the Macintosh, he wasn't quite the hero of the company he appears.

What do you exactly need 1 Tb of internal storage for? I have a 128 Gb model and a removable 1 Tb external solid state drive that was £50. Im studying for a masters in mechanical engineering here in England and the macbook is perfect. Its solid as a brick, reliable and stable. Compared to the surface book its cheap.

I have a monster gaming rig the size of a fridge for home use.

Its a tool, you don't perform surgery with a sledgehammer. I would recommend the pro to anyone. Apart from gamers.

Where did you get a 1TB external SSD for £50?

If you are doing advanced video editing then even then the 13" is good. I use Adobe Audition and Adobe After Effects with it and it doesn't lag. But the 15" has a dedicated graphics card, that might be better for you if you do 3D modelling as it is more powerful. It is also quad core as opposed to dual core.

I really wish you guys had taken off the keyboard backing to show that it is now held in place by rivets, not screws. Wasted 3 hours getting it apart, realizing I couldn't replace the keyboard then putting it back together still broken. Not angry at iFixit. !#^&@@ off at Apple for this blatant disregard to repair-ability.

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to remove the motherboard without removing the heatsink. Can anyone help me?

Riccardo Mereu - 回复

'Maybe' but it's not a best practice. The fan on the 13" has a panel that extends far beneath the heatsink. And the tiny ribbon cable that connects the fan to the logic board is very difficult to unplug with the heatsink attached. If you can manage to unplug the ribbon cable without remove the heatsink, then yes.

Jacob -

Even though the battery is a monster to remove is replacement plausible?

RikoTiko - 回复

Hey RikoTiko! Lucky for you we created a product for replacing Retina batteries with adhesive remover, making this job way easier! We have the adhesive remover kit here, and a battery replacement kit here, for use with this guide. Since this requires such a specialized solution, the repairability score still stands, despite being plausible. =)

Well, now I understand (yea, right!) why you guys make the big bucks right out of puberty. So, here’s my question: To begin with, it is now April 2018 and I’m asking about a 2015, 13” 2.9, I5 Retina MB Pro with the 6100 graphics that’s going bad (which should really inspire another blog altogether about why the !&&* Adderrall wasn’t available in the 80s when I clearly needed it), and therefore i’ve been offered this otherwise perfect condition laptop for a song. So, how much will this repair cost, and is there someone in the Washington, D.C. area capable of performing same while I wait, hopefully without being bent over toooo far? Only a day or two to decide … HEEELP!!

Is the processor soldered to the system board in this model??

Yes...Don't know if there's ever been a macbook with an upgradeable processor...that's typically been reserved for their desktops.

To you and @yourtechy: you can’t upgrade, it’s soldered straight to the board. That’s the norm with laptops unfortunately!

Jeff Suovanen -

Sure there is! Is it feasible for you to do or economic for you to pay for someone else to do? Nope! Check out Dosdude1 on youtube...You are likely limited to dual core 4th gen cpu's due to the TDP constraints of the 13" laptop though.

Do we have to replace keyboard and trackpad also only to replace the battery?Because my battery has failed.

@gogababa I think this is the guide you’re looking for. It includes a link to some compatible parts. They are pricey, but far less than half the retail cost of the machine.

Hi, on Step 17 theres a black tape like thing around the CPU that came off during one of my repairs.

There seems to be a lot of confusing stuff on the internet (and during my calls to repair shops) about that.

Is it a thermal pad or kaptom tape? Where can I get the replacement?

Very much appreciated.

I feel like this score (as well as others) deserve a revisit. I am a moderately seasoned technician and I have gutted an entire 13 and 15 inch retina MacBook Pro. What are the main differences from the unibody's?

1. Proprietary SSD (alleviated via a cheap adapter)

2. Soldered RAM (the biggest bummer; but still possible to upgrade and I HAVE: see REWA and iBoff RCC)

3. Riveted Keyboard (Another bummer, but not that impossible to replace; and after replacing? You can use screws!)

4. Adhesive for the battery (I removed both 13/15 batteries WITHOUT heat or adhesive dissolver; I did need to remove the 15 Logic Board, so that is certainly a time consuming repair)

5. The screen assemblies are basically all one unit, any issue means you are replacing the whole thing for most people (but even on the unibodies...who was replacing individual components on these screens? That's crazy risky)

Other than that? Everything is just screws and connectors...borderline identical to unbody's. 1/10? Give me a break...
