Apple explains repair options and availability of spare parts> Macerkopf

Apple described repair options and spare parts availability for the new MacBook Pro 2018 in an internal document distributed to Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers and obtained from MacRumors

Vendors Apple's authorized services can only perform limited on-site repairs until a spare parts store is available, as is often the case with a new Apple product. When a defective 2018 MacBook Pro is brought into an Apple Store, the Genius Bar can send the device to an external Apple repair center, which can replace smaller components in late July and repair larger ones. components in late September.

Here are some details on the new MacBook Pro:

• The new 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar features a "new" power supply that can be replaced at the end of July. The power supply still provides a power of 61 W. Apparently, Apple has made no change to its exterior design, so changes must be internal adjustments.
• Keypad kits for the keyboard will be available in mid-August. Hopefully the replacement keys will be less needed since the 2018 MacBook Pro has a thin layer of silicone under each key to prevent dust and other particles from impeding the keys.
• More spare parts will be available at the end of September.
