15-inch MacBook Pro Battery Recall Program

Apple has determined that, in a limited number of older generation 15-inch MacBook Pro units, the battery may overheat and pose a fire safety risk. Affected units were sold primarily between September 2015 and February 2017 and product eligibility is determined by the product serial number.

Customer safety is always Apple’s top priority, and we have voluntarily decided to replace affected batteries, free of charge.

Eligibility

First check to see which 15-inch MacBook Pro you have. Choose About This Mac from the Apple menu () in the upper-left corner of your screen. Confirm your model is «MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015).» If you have that model, enter your computer’s serial number below to see if it is eligible for this program.

If your MacBook Pro is eligible, please stop using it and follow the instructions below to have your battery replaced.

Note: This program does not affect other MacBook Pro models.

Replacement Process

Choose one of the service options below to have your battery replaced. Your MacBook Pro will be examined prior to any service to verify that it is eligible for this program. Service may take 3-5 days.

• Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
• Make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store.
• Contact Apple Support to arrange mail-in service via the Apple Repair Center.

To prepare your MacBook Pro for service, please back up your data.

This program is for battery replacement only. Please contact Apple Support and speak with an Advisor if you would like to arrange paid service for any additional issue.

Additional Information

This worldwide Apple program doesn’t extend the standard warranty coverage of the 15-inch MacBook Pro.

This program does not affect your statutory or warranty rights.

About fans and fan noise in your Apple product

Learn how your Apple product monitors internal temperatures and uses fans to cool critical components.

Some Apple products contain sensors that respond when they detect temperature changes inside your system or device, turning on fans to bring cooling airflow to critical components.

About fan noise

If your device’s processor is working on intensive tasks—such as compressing HD video, playing a graphics-heavy game, or indexing the hard drive with Spotlight after you migrate data—the fans run faster to provide additional airflow. You might hear fan noise when this happens, especially if you’re in a quiet environment. This rushing-air sound is a normal part of the cooling process.

Ambient temperature, the temperature outside the device, also plays a role in the fans’ responsiveness. If the ambient temperature is high, the fans turn on sooner and run faster. Learn more about the operating temperature of Apple notebook computers.

Make sure the vents on your Apple product aren’t blocked

Some Apple products have vents that let fans bring in cool air and expel hot air. Make sure that the vents aren’t blocked to allow your device to perform at its best.

Use your device on a hard, flat surface like a table or desk for optimal temperature control. If you use your device on a soft surface like a couch, pillow, bed, or your lap, its fans might run more.

Check for unexpected heavy fan use

If the fans in your device run fast even when it isn’t experiencing heavy usage and is properly ventilated, follow the steps for your device:

• On an Intel-based Mac: Reset the System Management Controller (SMC)
• On a Mac computer with Apple silicon: Close and open the lid on your notebook, or restart your computer.
• On an Apple TV 4K, Airport Extreme, or AirPort Time Capsule: Unplug the device, then plug it back in.
• On a Mac Pro: Check the enclosure to make sure that your Mac Pro is locked and fully seated, or that the top cover or access door is closed and locked on rack-mounted models.

How to use Dark Mode on your Mac

Dark Mode makes it easier to stay focused on your work, because your content stands out while darkened controls and windows recede into the background.

Dark Mode is a dramatic new look that’s easy on your eyes and helps you focus on your work. Dark Mode uses a dark color scheme that works system wide, including with the apps that come with your Mac. And third-party apps can adopt it, too.

Turn on Dark Mode

Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click General, then select one of the Appearance options at the top of the window:

• Light: Use the light appearance.
• Dark: Use the dark appearance.
• Auto: Automatically use the light appearance during the day, and the dark appearance at night.

How Dark Mode works with some apps and features

Some apps and features have special Dark Mode settings or behaviors.

Mail. To use a light background for email messages while Dark Mode is turned on, open Mail and choose Mail > Preferences, then click the Viewing tab and deselect “Use dark backgrounds for messages.”

Maps. To use a light background for maps while Dark Mode is turned on, open Maps and choose Maps > Preferences, then select ”Always use light map appearance.” In earlier versions of macOS, click View in the menu bar in Maps, then deselect Use Dark Map.

Notes. To use a light background for notes while Dark Mode is turned on, open Notes and choose Notes > Preferences, then deselect “Use dark backgrounds for note content.”

Safari. When you use Dark Mode, Safari automatically shows a website in Dark Mode if the website has been designed to support it. If the website doesn’t support Dark Mode, you can use Safari Reader to read articles in Dark Mode.

TextEdit. To use a light background for documents while Dark Mode is turned on, click View in the menu bar in TextEdit, then deselect Use Dark Background for Windows. (Requires macOS Mojave 10.14.2 or later.)

Dynamic Desktop. If you turn on Dark Mode while using Dynamic Desktop, the desktop may change to the dark still image. You can change this setting in Desktop & Screen Saver preferences.

Попробуйте Apple Arcade на Mac. Это просто праздник какой-то

Игровой сервис Apple Arcade появился на iPhone вместе с новой iOS 13, и мы вместе с тысячами других пользователей изучили его вдоль и поперёк, поиграв во все представленные на сегодняшний день игры.

Скажу честно, какого-то «вау»-эффекта сервис не вызвал: ну есть несколько интересных убивалок времени, в основном простенькие аркады, но в App Store этого добра навалом, мы мечтаем об играх класса «ААА», за которые не жалко отдать 300-500 рублей.

А вот на MacBook, после релиза новой macOS Catalina, сервис Apple Arcade произвел самую настоящую революцию.

Десятки полноценных игр за 199 рублей. Настоящее чудо

У меня оставалось несколько дней пробной подписки Apple Arcade. Я уже поставил себе напоминалку, чтобы отписаться от этого сервиса и не тратить деньги.

А потом случайно я зашел в Mac App Store в поисках какой-то программы, и решил посмотреть, что там в разделе Apple Arcade на Mac.

Попробуйте найти одну красивую, полноценную игру в магазине приложений для Mac за 199 рублей?

Чтобы она не тормозила, чтобы точно шла на вашем ноутбуке, не вылетала и не требовала постоянных микроплатежей и подключения к интернету.

Точнее, есть 1 такой проект: Machinarium за 229 руб., всё. Остальные игры для Мака или неинтересные, или стоят слишком дорого, от 700 руб. и выше.

А теперь посмотрите на Apple Arcade: бродилки, стратегии, головоломки, мини-РПГ, файтинги – всё это можно скачать всего за 199 рублей. Каждая игра совершенно точно запустится именно на вашем Макбуке и не будет вылетать.

Я уже установил себе самые интересные: Cat Quest II, Inmost, Oceanhorn 2, Spaceland и Various Daylight. Теперь я в любой момент могу запустить любую из этих игр, а если надоест – скачать другие. Не тратя по тысяче рублей на каждую.

А там еще есть гонки с Соником, платформер Rayman, и постоянно появляются новые игры. Впервые за много лет я реально играю на своем Макбуке. И всё это лишь за 199 руб. в месяц.

Если вы не оценили Apple Arcade на iPhone и отказались от этого сервиса, я люто рекомендую попробовать его на MacBook. Вы узнаете, что такое иметь игровой ноутбук, может быть впервые за всё время владения Макбуком.

А я пошел спасать котокоролевство, где моего персонажа называют «ваше Мурлычество».
