According to ComputerWorld, Apple is going to charge its customers $199.00 to replace the new MacBook Pro’s battery.
As the article states:
The battery, which is literally stuck to the case with adhesive, cannot be replaced by the user, but instead must be returned to Apple, either by mail or an express shipping service, or by dropping it off at an Apple retail store.
That’s not new: MacBook Air owners have faced the same issue since that thin-and-light laptop’s debut in 2008, and users of other MacBook Pro models have, too, since Apple began equipping them with custom, built-in batteries.
But Apple’s price for replacing the Retina MacBook Pro’s battery is $199, or 54% higher than the fee for swapping out a MacBook Air’s power supply.
