Through its manufacturing run between 2016 and 2017, the MacBook Pro suffered what many refer to as a "stage lighting" problem.

Last year, Apple began its transition away from Intel chips in its computers, opting to go with its own Apple silicon instead.

In 2020, Apple introduced a new 13-inch MacBook Pro.

Apple has determined that “a very small number” of people have experienced an issue with the battery in their Mac notebook not charging past the one percent mark.
