Apple's new 2021 MacBook Pro is now out in the wild and details pertaining to the new models keep on pouring in. Externally, the new machines not only look great but bolster productivity through various peripherals. However, Apple has also made numerous changes on the inside that allows for better thermals and battery. Now, iFixit has released the full teardown video of the 2021 MacBook Pro that highlights several important aspects.

We have previously covered a teaser teardown of the new 2021 MacBook Pro models that highlighted iPhone-like battery pull tabs. iFixit reveals in its teardown that the new models are easier to open compared to previous models. As mentioned earlier, Apple is using pull tabs for battery replacement rather than gluing them to the chassis. Nonetheless, repairing would still not be that simple due to the fact that the speaker system is situated close to the batteries. Moreover, the battery tabs can be accessed once you have removed the trackpad.
