Subscribe here for more iFixit teardown of MacBook Neo: ‘The most repairable MacBook in 14 years’ MacDailyNews Mar 13   READ IN APP   MacBook Neo components For years, MacBook repairs have typically involved battling stubborn adhesive and hard-to-reach components. The new MacBook Neo breaks from that tradition, featuring solid day-one repair manuals, easier keyboard servicing, and a battery secured in a screwed-down tray that had the entire iFixit team cheering. This budget-friendly machine demonstrates that affordability and strong repairability can go hand in hand. Elizabeth Chamberlain for iFixit: ‎ There are still eight pentalobe screws on the underside, which is annoying. Maybe one day Macs will go full team Torx Plus. But, pentalobes out, and the lower case can be unclipped by hand. No heat, no opening pick, no suction handle, no careful prying around the perimeter. Inside, our new friend Neo makes a very strong first impression. The battery is the big story here. Older MacBook batteries have usually been glued in place, which makes a normal wear repair harder, riskier, and more expensive than it needs to be… The Neo’s battery, by contrast, sits on a tray and comes out with screws. Eighteen of them, to be exact. That’s a lot (and probably for good reason–more on that later), but screws still beat adhesive every time. You remove them, lift the battery out, and move on. That may sound like a small thing. It’s not. Battery replacement on the Neo feels ordinary in a way MacBook battery replacement has not for a very long time. The pack itself is made of two cells rated for a combined 36.48 Wh, and replacing it no longer feels like a delicate extraction job. What about those 18 screws? The battery tray is probably doubling as extra chassis rigidity: it’s perfectly placed underneath the keyboard (a section of the top case that’s naturally less rigid due to less material) and the tray has a full length stamped rib to keep it stiff. This, paired with eighteen screws, and you have a helpful structural member… [T]he parts that fail first are easier to reach than they have been on any MacBook in a long time. The battery is screwed down instead of glued in. The ports are modular. The display is easier to replace. The internal layout is unusually sensible. Apple’s manuals are available on day one. The software side did not sabotage the hardware side. It comes in cool colors. That’s enough for a 6 out of 10 on our repairability scale. By MacBook standards, this is a strong score. It also makes the Neo the most repairable MacBook we’ve seen in about fourteen years. ‎ MacDailyNews Take: We really hope that Apple can make enough MacBook Neo units to satisfy demand.

Subscribe here for more Formula 1 to cancel Bahrain and Saudi Arabia races amid Operation Epic Fury in Iran MacDailyNews Mar 13   READ IN APP   Formula 1 has decided to cancel the April races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia amid Operation Epic Fury in Iran, multiple sources have told ESPN. The Bahrain Grand Prix had been scheduled for April 12th, followed by the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on April 19th. Both nations have come under attack as part of Iran’s retaliation to recent large-scale strikes carried out by the United States and Israel against Iranian military targets. Nate Saunders for ESPN: ‎ Despite not knowing whether the conflict would be ongoing by the time their event dates roll around, a decision needed to be made imminently due to the logistics of when teams had to start sending freight to the Middle East for both events. It is highly unlikely the races in the Middle East will be replaced, given the schedule at the back end of the year is tightly packed. Without knowing when the conflict will end or whether there will be escalations in the conflict down the line, F1 does not want to be in a position where a championship is decided or influenced by a race being canceled at the end of the calendar. That would mean the 2026 schedule being reduced from 24 to 22 races and a five-week void between the third round of the new season in Japan on March 29 and the Miami Grand Prix on May 3. ‎ MacDailyNews Note: F1 on Apple TV is available in the U.S. on the Apple TV app on iPhone; iPad; Apple TV 4K; Apple Vision Pro; Mac; popular smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Sony, VIZIO, TCL, and others; Roku and Amazon Fire TV devices; Chromecast with Google TV; PlayStation and Xbox gaming consoles; and at tv.apple.com, for $12.99 per month with a seven-day free trial for new subscribers.
