Almost every MacBook Pro part is tied to one specific chassis generation, so the single most important step before ordering is confirming which model you actually have. Apple prints a small model number beginning with the letter A on the underside of the machine, and each model also carries an EMC number and a model identifier (for example MacBookPro18,3) that you can read under the Apple menu in System Information. The table below maps every MacBook Pro generation we stock parts for to those exact numbers so you can match your machine before you buy a battery, display, logic board or keyboard.
Warning: These parts are model-specific. Confirm your exact A-number or EMC number against the correct row below before ordering. The wrong logic board, display, or battery will not fit.
Turn the machine over and read the small grey text near the regulatory markings; the model number begins with the letter A followed by four digits, such as A2338. You can also hold Option, open the Apple menu and choose System Information, then read the model identifier and hardware overview. Either value matches a single row in the table above, which tells you exactly which parts fit.
Rarely. Apple revised the battery cell layout, connector and adhesive pattern with most chassis updates, and the Retina display is bonded as a full top-case assembly that changed dimensions and connector between the 13-inch, 14-inch, 15-inch and 16-inch families. A battery or display from a neighbouring year almost never fits, which is why the table lists each generation separately by A-number.
The A-number (for example A2442) is Apple's marketing model number printed on the case. The EMC number is a manufacturing revision code that sometimes distinguishes two builds sharing one A-number. The model identifier (for example Mac14,7) is what macOS reports in System Information and is the most precise of the three. Any one of them will locate your machine in the table, but the model identifier is the safest when a single A-number covers more than one configuration.
No. The move to M1, M2, M3, M4 and M5 changed the logic board, cooling, battery and display assemblies completely, so an Apple Silicon part will not fit an Intel MacBook Pro of a similar size. Use the chip column in the table to confirm whether your machine is Intel or Apple Silicon before ordering.
