As part of the program, Apple will replace affected batteries free of charge worldwide. Notably, this is the final generation of 'Retina' MacBook Pros, and the issue does not affect either earlier (pre-2015) or the later USB-C models.
The manufacturer says that some of these batteries can overheat, which poses a safety risk.Īpple claims that a limited number of the 15-inch MacBook Pros sold between September 2015 and February 2017 use a battery that pose potential safety risk as they can overheat. Apple has initiated a voluntary recall for their mid-2015 15-inch 'Retina' MacBook Pros over a potential safety issue with their integrated batteries.
