#apple recalls older 15-inch #macbook Pros because the batteries could catch fire
Overheating batteries are no laughing matter, so this may be urgent: Apple has just issued a recall for the 2015 MacBook Pro with Retina Display, saying its batteries “may pose a fire safety risk.”
The company says there are a “limited number” of affected units, sold between September 2015 and February 2017, but that could easily be quite a number of laptops. But the company did sell that third-generation MacBook Pro between 2012 and 2018, so we’re definitely not talking about every 15-inch rMBP ever sold.
But if you know someone who’s holding onto that model — the one with the full-size ports and taller keyboard that doesn’t easily get crippled by dust — you may want to have them check their serial number now at Apple’s support website….
