However, since the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models have a similar design to the previous generation, iFixit used repair guides for the 2021 MacBook Pro models.
Apple's instructions are said to be 'fairly comprehensive and easy to follow.' Additionally, the process instructs users to place the MacBook screen on the edge of the desk to avoid touching the battery while repairing.
iFixit's assessment is based on Apple's self-repair instructions (Image: iFixit)According to iFixit, the repairability score for the new MacBook Pro with M2 Pro chip is 5 out of 10, which is not a high score. This is because many important components, such as RAM and processor, are soldered onto the motherboard.
This raises concerns about upgradeability as the chances of replacing parts on the new MacBook models are quite low. So when purchasing, it's important to consider your needs and make an appropriate decision.
