Apple announced it would withdraw 15-inch MacBook Pro batteries from Retina Display due in 2015, because it is prone to fire. Not all of these models are prone to fire. Apple said there were a number of affected units sold between September 2015 and February 2017.
MacBook Pro users can check whether the laptop belongs to the affected unit or not, through the official Apple website at the following link.
Users simply enter the serial number of the device in the search box to check. If the laptop is on a vulnerable list, Apple promises to replace the battery for free.
However, repairs can only be done at Apple service centers. Apple estimates the repair process will take approximately one week.
Withdrawals do not apply to all MacBook Pro models. Apple is still reluctant to comment on what causes this often problematic battery.
Is the age of using a long battery or other factors. Since 2016, Apple has a bad reputation for the new MacBook Pro. Previously, Apple also made a battery withdrawal program for the 13-inch non-touch bar MacBook Pro model last April.
Apple is said to be launching the latest 16-inch MacBook Pro this year. Hopefully, the battery sector will be paid more attention so that there are no more withdrawal programs of this kind.
