    • Een van de weinige verschillen: de 15" MBP heeft nu een herontworpen koellichaam met slechts één enkel thermisch kussen, dankzij de dichterbij geïntegreerde GPU—wat we toeschrijven aan het "Haswellificatie"-proces, zoals wij dat noemen.

    • Nog een ander effect van de Haswellificatie van je MacBook: dit model claimt dat het met dezelfde cellen met eenzelfde capaciteit een extra uur aan batterijleven met zich meebrengt. De efficiëntere processor draagt waarschijnlijk voor het grootste deel aan bij aan het feit dat je een extra uur kattenfoto's kunt kijken op dit apparaat.

    Hello, I want to ask about the screws model that use in the thermal pad. Do you know what types of screws this could be?

    • De meest opvallende revisies vinden we op het logic board, inclusief de volledig nieuwe Haswell Core i7 processor, Iris Pro Grapghics en de Thunderbolt 2 ondersteuning:

    • 2.0 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost tot wel 3.2 GHz) met 6 MB gedeelde L3 cache en Iris Pro Graphics

    • 128MB eDRAM cache

    • Elpida J4208EFBG 512 MB DDR3 SDRAM (16 chips voor 8 GB in totaal)

    • Intel DSL5520 Thunderbolt 2-controller

    • Intel Platform Controller Hub

    • Cirrus 4208-CRZ Audio Codec, gelijk aan de Cirrus CS4207

    The chip marked by Orange is the Crystalwell eDRAM, 128MB in total. This can be used by both the CPU cores and The Iris Pro GPU that is still integrated in to the main core chip (the one marked by red).

    Magnus Rydningen - Antwoord

    Yep, Magnus, tried to fix it, but edit was denied by Miroslav Djuric.

    Martin -

    Does anybody know what kind of SSD Apple uses for the MBP. Are this TLC, MLC or SLC cells SSDs?

    Paul - Antwoord

    See step 2. The Part number of the Samsung chips has a link which leads to the spec. The third character is an H which leads to this conclusion: MLC.

    LetMeGoogleThatForYou -

    Yeah, "2.0 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.2 GHz) with 6 MB shared L3 cache

    Intel Iris Pro Graphics" is wrong, the larger die is actually the eDRAM for both processor and GPU, the smaller die is both the processor and the GPU.

    tipoo - Antwoord

    Just edited it, then saw this comment. Been bugging me since this teardown was made. Unsure why they keep on disallowing the edits.

    simonhowes - Antwoord

    i have a 15" MBP (recent one with GT 750m discreet graphic), and i MIGHT wanna open it up and change the thermal compound with a better one (arctic Mx-4), bcos the laptop get heats up quite abit. this teardown is gonna be my guide, but b4 opening it, whats ur thought of the thermal compound applied to it? is it too much like the previous MBP? need to know :) and IF i open it up, i might take a picture of the GT 750m, bcos everyone wan to look at it :D

    Shynn Ng - Antwoord

    The bigger one in CPU is GPU+CPU, smaller one is eDRAM Crystalwell cache, not other way around.

    Jarno Matikainen - Antwoord

    I wondered what's the model # of the intel i7 quad core cpu was used for this laptop? It's an i7-4702mq or other model? Why you mentioned the model # of cup, i5-4258u, in the Macbook pro 13" Teardown report, but not mentioned in this report?

  5. Demontage van de MacBook Pro 15" Retina-scherm eind 2013: stap 5, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Aan de achterkant van het logic board:

    • SK Hynix H5TC4G63AFR 512 MB DDR3 SDRAM

    • Broadcom BCM15700A2

    • Cypress Semiconductor CY8C24794-24LTXI programmeerbare System-on-Chip

    • Texas Instruments TPS51980

    • De hoofdtelefoonjack zit nu op het logic board vast gesoldeerd—dus mocht je jack kapot gaan (wat na verloop van tijd niet ondenkbaar is vanwege de slijtage) dan kijk je al snel tegen een reparatie van 850 euro aan.

    Just like the new 13" MBP, there's 512M of RAM hanging out near the GigE controller. Still no idea what it's for, and a GigE controller certainly doesn't need half a gigabyte of RAM.

    Scott Morrison - Antwoord

    It is a packet buffer. Unsure why it is so large, is the controller capable of 10GigE? Just wondering if we may see some 10GigE Thunderbolt Ethernet adapters? I also think this is controller for USB3 as well.

    • Het moment van de waarheid is thans aangebroken—kan de batterij makkelijker worden verwijderd dan de vorige, verschrikkelijk stevig vastgelijmde ramp-batterij?

    • We houden onze adem vast bij het testen van de lijm met onze plastic kaart...

    • ...om onze adem een half uur en een aantal versleten knokkels later uit te blazen in een zucht van teleurstelling. De batterij bevat eenzelfde excessieve hoeveelheid lijm en is dus vrijwel net zo onmogelijk veilig te verwijderen als hiervoor.

    • Tot zover de ontwikkeling van het ontwerp..

    Why evolution of design? I as a design engineer would do the same thing. I would never make my products easy to be taken appart. So it might not be easy for none profesionals but the authorized repair 'handlers' will know how to remove the battery. It is surely not 'user' friendly for repairs yes that is true.

    Tibidor - Antwoord

    That's probably the most important thing about that battery. An uncased battery such as what Apple uses can be very dangerous if damaged. The average consumer doesn't know exactly how delicate those are, so Apple tries to limit access with pentalobes. Also the adhesive is there to help the battery from moving around in the casing, further reducing the possibility of damage. Sure it's hard to repair, but it's much safer.

    Bryan Elliott -

    @Tibidor: the philosophy of making products easy to take apart (note spelling) worked for manufacturers like Citroen and Land Rover in the engineering domain. In the case of Land Rover, the primary reason that they won military contracts was that an untrained soldier could pull the damaged bits off, add replacements and get going without resort to authorised repairers. And these so-say authorised repairers are not immune from error - most of the time I've found that a generic skilled mechanic was a far better bet for servicing than main dealerships, who were over-priced and arrogant with it.

    An example: I lost a control dial; an authorised repairer told me I needed a new centre console at £200 plus £200 labour, the skilled and theoretically unqualified mechanic fixed the problem for £30 all-in.

    I honestly don't believe electronics is any different.

    James McLaren - Antwoord

    I want one but the only thing that is holding me back is the evolution of design. I have a early 2011 13 inch Macbook pro that I have added a 1.5 TB drive and 16gb ram. Nice to be able to do that inexpensively and later. The $3K price tag for a machine with 1TB drive and 16gb soldered ram is also a key point. I need the machine for work but having to get the everything now and not being able to replace hardly anything myself is holding me back. Battery, Ram, SSD minimally should be user replaceable, processor would be nice but not as necessary. SSD should be the best you can afford and in a common format to keep down costs.

    abrahambloom - Antwoord

    I've read somewhere that the batteries can be removed easily when pulled the glue stripes like Tesa power strips. have you tried this?

    Great job - doing all the tear downs and repair manuals. they are very helpful! Thank you!

    • De repareerbaarheidsscore van de MacBook Pro met Retina-scherm 15" uit eind 2013: 1 van de 10 punten (10 is het gemakkelijkst te repareren).

    • Propriëtaire pentalobe-schroeven maken het ontzettend lastig voor je om toegang te krijgen tot de binnenkant.

    • Net zoals in de MacBook Air zit de RAM vast gesoldeerd aan het logic board. Je maximale capaciteit is dus 16 GB, want een upgrade zit er niet in.

    • De propriëtaire SSD is in een PCIe-formaat gegoten, maar het is nog steeds geen standaard 2.5" schijf. Het is echter een aparte dochterkaart, wat ons hoopvol stemt over een mogelijkheid tot upgrades in de toekomst.

    • De lithium-polymeer batterij is niet in de behuizing vastgeschroefd maar vastgelijmd, wat de kans op schade tijdens een demontageproces aanzienlijk verhoogt. De batterij loopt ook over de trackpadkabel, wat de kansen op het scheuren van de kabel tijdens het verwijderen van de batterij ook vergroot.

    • De schermmodule bestaat nu uit één geheel zonder dat er glas is dat het beschermt. Als er dus iets kapot gaat in het scherm zul je de volledige, extreem dure module moeten vervangen.

    Is the display assembly compatible with the early 2013?

    Tiago Ferreira - Antwoord

    Does the circuitry change if i have the one with a higher-end graphics card? Mine has 16GB RAM, nVidia GeForce GT750M and a 2.6GHZ processor. Also, where is the battery located on this device? I have the exact same macbook, but with better specs

    Dhiren Sajjan - Antwoord

    I have just taken my Macbook Pro 15" w retina late 2013 in for a repair and have been told I need to replace the logic board? Does anyone know if this is something I can do myself otherwise apple are charging $330. I'm frustrated that a laptop thats barely 14 months old has this kind of hardware issue. Of course I didn't buy the extended warranty.

    tracey - Antwoord

    @Tracey: I had my 512GB SSD fail about 13 months after I bought my rMBP and was quoted 824 euro by the Dutch Apple store. Like you I did not have Applecare (and sorely regretted not getting it). So I called Apple USA, sweet-talked my way up the chain, got a new quote for $300 and eventually had it replaced for free!

    So definitely try calling Apple Customer Service, they might surprise you. Be polite, friendly and have patience. The first people you talk to probably can't do much for you, but their supervisors can. Good luck!

Hi all ! I have a one year old 15" retina MbP. Could it be possible, if the part becomes available somehow, to replace the Wifi card on my mac with an ac one like on the new model ? Or does the form factor change ?

Phil - Antwoord

Would really like to know the same, except, I have a last gen 13" Retina MbP. Thx for answers. (if you already know where to buy these cards, any help would be appreciated!)

Marc Nunkesser -

You read my mind, I was wondering the same thing.

Joshua Ray -

yeah, it would be really nice to take advantage of the 802.11ac technology!

Gibran Malheiros -

So, why are we sad that this uses the new standard for SSD instead of a decades old format that makes zero sense for anything other than spinning disks? It's fair to complain about the non-standard cards in the old Macbook Airs, but this is just silly.

Jesper Monsted - Antwoord

Probably because it is NOT a new standard, but rather a proprietary design only deployed in Apple devices.

Martin -

Well, as things are going increasingly wireless and solid state we have a curious mix of SS and old hardware like headphone jacks. If you were to break your headphone jack I presume you could get one of the zillions of USB sound cards with headphone jack that offer better sound anyway. I also presume you could still stream music via wi-fi with an Apple TV or AirPort Express or via AirPlay devices or bluetooth headphones. So much ado about nothing? Apple already gave up on user-replaceable batteries ages ago so this is nothing new. And the last generation had non-upgradeable RAM as well - nobody buys an iPad thinking they can upgrade the RAM later... this is how things are going. So the practical advice is: max this puppy out if you want one but don't lament the other stuff. AND BUY APPLECARE if you're going to invest the big bucks in one of these.

Is the Cypress Semiconductor CY8C24794-24LTXI Programmable System-on-Chip removable? I can't really tell from the picture. Where is the EFI chip? And is that removable? Thank you.

applecranberry - Antwoord

Thanks for the teardown guys.

One question left. Why did you buy a 512 SSD Version but not the GeForce Graphics Model? Would've been nice to see where the Chip is located on the board.

Arne - Antwoord

I did buy the 15" Macbook Pro with the 1TB SSD and 16GB Memory with the 2.6GHz QC i7. Would be great to see where they fit in the Graphics card in that compact space. I daren't open up my new rMBP when it does arrive on wednesday. I was really hoping that the iFixit guys would shed some light on how the added graphics card looks. Looks like I may have to buy the proprietary screw driver and open it up myself. I've had a 2011 MBP with the 2.4GHz Quad Core i7 and was manually able to upgrade the Memory to 16GB DDDR3 and added a 512GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD and a 1TB 7200RPM ssd in the CD Bay. I still couldnt get the performance I needed to run multiple VM's smoothly. I am hoping to get that kind of performance out of this new machine with 2 1920x1200 monitors in addition to the rDisplay. The 2011 MBP I have constantly runs the fan at high speed and its quite a conversation-starter. Lets hope that adding the nVidia 750m doesn't have the same problem... with an additional fan. Anybody?

hello guys, happy new year to all and thanks for the guide !

i wanted to know, for people who want to replace the MBPr battery themselves if it is possible to get the battery as a spare part ?

i tried to do some researches about it but that was unsuccessful.

thanks

ipodede - Antwoord

if this was truly good design, it would allow you to take it apart to upgrade when funds permit. Same with the iphone, it could look just as it does and still be able to open it without tools to swap out the battery when its flat by lunch time.

the 'form follows function' times of apple are well and truly over in favor of the biggest $.

Jayme Capurso - Antwoord

I actually need to open up my new (late 2013) MBP 15" Retina.

The list of tools provided in this guide points to T5 Torx Screwdriver which currently shows a regular 6-point T5 torx. The screws for the bottom cover of my MBP requires the pentalobe (5-point) bit to unscrew.

How do you fit a regular 6-point T5 torx to open the MBP up? Or does the guide need to be updated to point to the correct tool?

Darth Vader - Antwoord

Greetings from Cleveland,Ohio. This is my first comment,and it is in reference to my barely used,late 2013 Macbook Pro.15" Retina display,256,SSD,8gigs of Ram. The only thing that was used less than the laptop,was the Trackpad,that now needs to be replaced,and after seeing this Guide,I either pay Apple 300 bucks for a whole new top,which is what the Apple store people told me I would get with the repair.Obviously,that's the only way that the Trackpad can be replaced. I'm new here to this website,and very happy that I found it by mistake. Thank you very much for the info on this piece of !@#$ computer.My only regret is that I didn't find you before I bought the Macbook,because I never would have purchased one. I will never purchase another Apple product. Cheers!

Has anyone stopped to think the glued on top case/battery is actually one of the best ideas apple had-here is why: after paying the obscene price of 3+k for the top haswell-it supports 4k to ur expensive TV and that is 10+ years future-proof, sony at the world cup promised 4k and failed spectacularly. 8k is 2020+ out. 14nm 8 virtual cores is FAST, +no quantum issues. When you're done destroying the battery by running it through 1000 charging cycles, the keyboard will have been done in after 4 years of email !&&*. And the crumbs of the to-go meals while using the %#*@ thing's OS? They disappear into the key gaps like the bermuda triangle. Not to mention the unnecessary hard clicks on the track pad when you are reading something you don't like and are murdering the links like it's their fault. Enough said, the top case will be fukd w/o even considering the occasional drop. Even your prehistoric Rolex's metal band will have had a go and scratched the palm rest. A new top case for 200 dos will be welcome .

Hi, is it possible to change the battery? Today I opened it to change the thermal paste and found that is kind of swollen, when you take the cover it pops out and the trackpad is stuck doesn't click.

ekagaurangadas - Antwoord

I took my late 2014 to the apple store recently because the trackpad stopped clicking. it turned out to be a swollen battery pressing on the trackpad. They said that the battery was one unit with the keyboard and trackpad and that they would have to replace the entire unit. it would be about $500 but because it was caused by the swollen battery, they didn’t change anything. What a relief!

Trilobite -

I recently took my late 2014 to the Apple store because the trackpad had stopped clicking. they said that the battery was swollen and pressing on the trackpad causing it to not click. They have to replace the whole battery+keyboard+trackpad+casetop unit. It would be $500 but since it was caused by a swollen battery (and they are nervous about that) they decided to do the replacement and didn’t charge anything. What a relief!

The 'CORRECT' screwdrivers needed for the MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Late 2013

P5 Pentalobe Screwdriver _ Size 1.2 mm 

This fits the 5-point pentalobe screws found on the bottom of ALL MacBook Pro Laptops with a Retina Display.

'''P6 Pentalobe Screwdriver _ Size 1.5 mm''' 

For battery and fan screws.

You need 2 six-sided T5 Torx screws to attach the I/O board.

'''PH000 Phillips Screwdriver'''

For the smallest X shape screws.

.

F.Y.I. _ So you don’t buy the wrong one.

.

P2 Pentalobe Screwdriver _ Size 0.8 mm

This fits the 5-point pentalobe screws found on the bottom of iphone 4s 5, 5s, 5c , se, 6, 6 plus, 6s , 6s plus, iPhone 7, and iphone 7 plus.

Being clueless about computers I had zero idea which screwdriver was the one I needed to open and clean my MacBook Pro laptop.

I’m glad I read the Darth Vader - 05/23/2014 comment above and learned they were speciality 5 sided screws, as they are so small I didn’t notice.

After doing some research I found this info.

EruditeBirdy - Antwoord

Hey EruditeBirdy, as in all our guides and teardowns, the required tools are listed at the top of the page! Listed is our P5 Pentalobe driver for Retina MacBook Pro and Air. If you’re looking to open your device, I suggest you look at our repair manual, rather than the teardown, which is not a repair guide. You probably just need to open the lower case if you’re hoping to clean out the dust!
