| - | [* black] Might not want the first shot, just showing the lack of ports vs the 2018 13" touch bar MBP. |
|---|---|
| - | [* black] By now, the [guide|72415|opening procedure|stepid=144856] is old hat. Removing a handful of pentalobe screws and clips lets us peer into a MacBook Pro that looks very similar to the older function key model. |
| - | [* black] The 58.2 Wh battery is slightly larger than the [guide|72415|54.5 Wh battery|stepid=144793] in the function key model—most likely to account for the added Touch Bar, Touch ID sensor, and T2 chip in order to keep the same 10-hour battery life. |

| + | [* black] By now, the [guide|72415|opening procedure|stepid=144856] is old hat. Dispatching a handful of pentalobe screws and clips lets us peer into a MacBook Pro that looks ... surprisingly similar to the older function key model, actually. |
| + | [* black] The new 58.2 Wh battery capacity slightly exceeds the [guide|72415|54.5 Wh battery|stepid=144793] found in the function key model. Maybe that's how it keeps up with the added Touch Bar, Touch ID sensor, and T2 chip while keeping the same 10-hour battery life. |
| + | [* black] It even bests the [guide|111384|58.0 Wh|stepid=213243] battery in the more expensive 13" model—which has more cores and TDP to power. |
