![]() So those who customized their original laptop to the max with beefy RAM, storage and so forth are more likely to get ‘lucky’. Seemingly, the more top-spec and costly your original MacBook Pro was, the more likely you are to get a high-end replacement model. ![]() As we mentioned at the start of this story, a few lucky people have even got a new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. Some folks have been provided with a refurbished MacBook Pro from 2013/2014, others have got a higher-end refurbished model from 2015. If the latter does happen, the other factor that’s up in the air is exactly what replacement you’ll get. The shortage of the top-case assembly part is set to run until mid-September, so apparently customers are being given the option to wait a couple of months for inventory to replenish, and if you take this route Apple will cover the cost of replacing the battery.īut if you insist you don’t want to wait, that’s when you may get the option for either a trade-in deal on a new machine, or to exchange your old MacBook Pro for a replacement model. There's possibly some element of blind luck, too. Incidentally, you can check the laptop’s battery status by going to About This Mac > System Report > Power, which will bring up all relevant battery information including your ‘cycle count’ or number of full charges made.Īs to exactly what will happen in any individual case, that’s difficult to say, and may well depend on the store and Apple employee in question.
