If you own an affected 15-inch MacBook Pro, Apple will replace your battery for free, but you’ll have to send your laptop to an Apple repair center. Apple is facing a new class-action lawsuit in the United States that accuses it of false or deceptive marketing for the M1-powered MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, fraudulent business practices. The only way to know for sure is by turning the notebook on (which could be a risk in itself) and checking the serial number found in the "About this Mac" page within macOS. There is no easy way to visually distinguish between MacBook Pro models unless one has a Touch Bar. If that were to happen to a laptop within an airline's cargo hull it could be catastrophic.Īlso, determining whether a 15-inch MacBook Pro is one dangerous to bring aboard is a difficult and time-consuming process. Damaged or defective lithium-ion batteries can undergo thermal runaway, an unstoppable chain reaction that causes them to ignite. While it might seem strict for an airline to ban all MacBook Pro models from flying, it's easy to sympathize with their decision. “There is a charging problem” and “Charging Paused” would be good starting points.Because each airline has its own rules, we strongly recommend checking in with an airline for details about their MacBook Pro ban policy before heading to the airport. I hope Apple decides on some different phrases for two of those statuses. Still, there’s a really easy fix for this. Given the prominence that the Battery Health software has received from Apple, I’m surprised that this slipped through the attention to detail net. Three different scenarios, all of which offer important feedback to the user, and one single text string. In essence you can get the message “not charging” while you are charging, “not charging” while you are not charging, and “not charging” when you have an issue with the charging hardware. "You might also see “Not Charging" when your Mac isn't getting enough power to charge the battery, such as when it's not using the correct power adapter and cable, or it's plugged into a power source that isn't delivering enough power." Subsequent paragraphs in the support document make it clear why there is confusion around charging under the new system: The failure here is not a failure of the battery, or the charging circuitry, it is a failing of Apple’s user interface. ![]()
