Apple is making it more affordable to repair the MacBook Pro.
Apple will dramatically reduce the cost of speaker repair in the Apple Silicon 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro, ending the longstanding need to buy a whole replacement top case.
The replacement of damaged speakers in these MacBook Pro models remains complex, but self-service repair will as much as 90% cheaper than at present. It’s entirely because standalone speaker repair parts will be released soon.
Consequently, users will not have to pay for a replacement battery, the MacBook Pro’s top casing, or other unrelated components. As first spotted by MacRumors, this will be the first time that MacBook Pro speakers have been directly repairable since 2015.
Apple is also expected to make the parts available to order through its US self-service repair store.
Updated repair manuals have also been published by Apple. With the instructions, the correct tools and components from the repair store, users can now attempt the speaker repair repair themselves.
