About the MacBook Pro Retina 13″ A1502 (Late 2013)

The MacBook Pro Retina 13" A1502 (Late 2013) brought a stunning 2560x1600 Retina display to the 13-inch MacBook Pro with model number A1502. It dropped the optical drive, hard drive, and user-accessible RAM in favour of a thinner, lighter design with flash storage. We repair every component at our Perth Road workshop in Dundee.

Display delamination (the anti-reflective coating peeling off, known as Staingate) is a major issue on these Retina models. SSD failure, battery swelling, and trackpad problems are also common. The RAM is soldered and cannot be upgraded after purchase. Our technicians have over 20 years' combined experience with Retina MacBook repairs.

The Retina 13-inch MacBook Pro was a beauty. If the screen coating is peeling or the battery is swollen, drap it in to Perth Road. We'll get it sorted.

The 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro used the A1425 (2012-2013) and A1502 (2013-2015) model numbers. All share the same internal hardware and accept identical replacement parts.
