iFixit has posted its teardown of Apple's new 13-inch MacBook Pro.

Grab your best tinkering tools and let’s dig in—we’re tearing down the 13” MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, 2018 edition.

Highlights:
● 13.3" LED-backlit IPS Retina display with True Tone, 2560 x 1600 resolution (227 dpi), P3 wide color gamut
● 2.3 GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 3.8 GHz) with integrated Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655
● Apple T2 custom coprocessor
● Four Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports supporting charging, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, USB 3.1 Gen 2
● New model number - A1989, and EMC 3214.
● 58.0 Wh battery, significantly higher than 49.2 Wh on previous gen
● New silicone barrier under keys
● New USB-C power adapter with model number A1947




Repairability Score: 1 out of 10
● The trackpad can be removed without first removing the battery.
● The processor, RAM, and flash memory are soldered to the logic board. Repairs and upgrades will be impractical at best.
● The top case assembly, which includes the keyboard, battery, and speakers, is glued together—making all those components impractical to replace separately.
● The Touch ID sensor doubles as the power switch, and is paired with the T2 chip on the logic board. Fixing a broken power switch may require help from Apple, or a new logic board.
