The program Apple announced today only covers 13-inch models. Presumably, these longer cables will also be present in the 2019 model introduced this week. So I decided against this idea and brought a new Apple Mac Mini i5 Computer at my local Best Buy Store. He suggested to buying a used 2010 Mac Pro tower retailing around 500 because it can be upgraded for my needs. The 2018 13-inch Touch Bar models can be configured with up to 16GB 2133MHz LPDDR3 memory and up to a 2.7GHz Core i7 processor with Turbo Boost speeds of up to 4.5GHz. I consulted a Macintosh expert on what I should purchase next. Apples 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar received a refresh on Jwith new quad-core 8th-generation Intel processors, which are up to twice as fast as the previous generation. Fatigue and tearing first causes the screen backlight to partially fail, often causing a “stage lighting” effect over time, the screen usually dies entirely.Īpple quietly made changes in its 2018 MacBook Pro by using longer ribbon cables. It was time to make a change for a new computer. The cables’ loose wrapping around the control board tightens and loosens with the opening and closing of the laptop, subjecting them to stress. This program addresses the issue behind “Flexgate.” Newer MacBook Pros (starting with 2016 models) use flexible ribbon cables to connect their displays to a control board beneath the Touch Bar (or where the Touch Bar would be, just beneath the display, on non-Touch-Bar models).
It only covers 13″ models from 2016, while we know other MacBook Pros suffer from this issue. Hot on the heels of a new MacBook Pro with even more “improvements” to the cursed keyboard, Apple has launched yet another repair program -this time for the fragile display flex cable on newer 13” MacBook Pros.
