Apple’s commitment to improving reparability of its various devices has shown amid increased regulatory pressure and user demands in recent years. The Self Service Repair Program isn’t exactly the most accessible or affordable, but it exists for more enterprising users.
While tear downs already revealed that the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 doesn’t require users to remove the trackpad to remove the battery, Apple has officially acknowledged it. The Self Service Repair Store now offers the necessary parts and tools to perform the task, and a manual was also made available.
