  • This newest 13" Air keeps its traditional model number, A1466. For identification purposes, you'll need your serial number, EMC (2925), or model year (2015).

  • At least it's not A1278.

  • The right side is fitted with an SDXC card slot, USB 3.0 port, and (all new!) Thunderbolt 2 port. As before, the opposite end hosts the MagSafe 2 power port, audio jack, and another USB 3.0 port. Also included are dual microphones, designed to diminish background noise.

  • Ahh, mine old nemesis Pentalobe.

  • We see Apple hasn't changed its stripes—the classic pentalobe keeps this Air sealed up from the common fixer.

  • Luckily, we have a handy driver for just these occasions. And... we're in!
