As is tradition, every time Apple launches a new device on the market, immediately the guys at iFixit they take one and put the screwdriver to see and analyze the interior design and its components that make it up.
So they have not taken a week to “gut” the brand new MacBook Air 15 inches that can already be purchased at the Apple Store and on the Apple website. Let’s see if it differs much from its 13-inch little brother or not.
We already have the first teardown of the new 15-inch MacBook Air posted. The iFixit technicians have already received a unit of this new MacBook, and they have been running short of time to gut it completelyand post it on your YouTube channel.
