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!
