What is Touch Bar? 13-inch Touch Bar version of MBP disassembled

On November 17, the famous foreign disassembly team iFixit brought the disassembly of the 13-inch Touch Bar version of the new MacBook Pro. Through disassembly, it was found that the Touch Bar is very easy to damage. It is very difficult to separate the OLED from the upper shell, and the Touch Bar is very fragile.

The entire disassembly process is relatively complicated and therefore takes a lot of time. The internal design structure of the product is very compact, but it is not completely unrepairable.

Compared with previous MacBook Pros, this year's MacBook Pro products are more difficult to disassemble. In addition to unscrewing the screws on the bottom case, you also need to use a suction cup to carefully remove the back case.

During the disassembly process, it was discovered that the internal layout of the components had been redesigned, and Apple had also added a new connector to the Touch Bar version of the MacBook Pro, but it was not connected to any components.

There is another interesting detail during the disassembly process. There is no speaker under the speaker hole. The sound of the speaker is emitted through the heat dissipation holes on the side. In other words, the speaker holes of the Touch Bar version of the MacBook Pro are just for decoration. Perhaps this is to make the product design more harmonious. Curiously, the MBP without the Touch Bar also has some fake holes.

Finally, the device received a repairability score of 1 out of 10, with 10 being the easiest to repair.
