How to Open Your MacBook Pro 2016

Opening a MacBook Pro 13 Inch 2016

To open a MacBook Pro 13 inch 2016, begin by turning it over so that the bottom of the laptop is facing up. Next, look for the ten tiny Phillips head screws securing the lower case to the rest of the laptop and unscrew them using a Phillips head screwdriver. After all screws are removed, pull the lower case firmly away from the hinge area towards the front of the MacBook. Use caution when pulling, as you may need to use some force to separate any remaining clips that are still holding it in place. Pull firt at one corner, then the other, and be sure to pull to the side—not up. Once all clips are separated, you can lift off the lower case and gain access to interior components.

Are 2016 Macbooks Still Receiving Support?

Yes, 2016 Macbooks are still supported by Apple. The current version of MacOS is Catalina, which was released in October 2019 and is supported on all Macs from mid-2012 and later. This means that any 2016 Macbook is fully compatible with the current version of MacOS and will receive security updates until Fall 2022, and then one more security update in Fall 2023. After that, it’s posible that Apple may not support Catalina on the 2016 Macbook anymore, but it should still be usable for day-to-day tasks without any major issues.

The form-factor is practically unchanged since 2016, so you’ll have access to the same selection of ports as before. Unless you need some legacy ports that are no longer available on newer models, I would definitely recommend a 2016 MacBook Pro.

Troubleshooting a Mac That Will Not Open
