Is Macbook Pro 13 A1502 2015 Retina Screen compatible with Pro 13 A1706 2016 Retina

0

A client just called for a screen replacement enquiry. They have a MacBook Pro 13 A1706 2016 (touch bar) I would assume. Can't find one at other local repair shops. I have a Screen from MacBook Pro 13 A1502 Early 2015. Would this screen be compatible with the 2016 one. I obviously don't have his laptop yet to compare the mobo LCD connector. Kindly HELP

By now the original poster probably has his answer, but for anyone in the future who finds this, no a 2015 display will not work on a 2016. The 2016 redesign has a completely different display assembly and will not work. Various displays are interchangeable between 2012-2015 retina Macbook pros, although it is not always reliable so it is recommended to match a replacement display to your laptop series (Late-2012/Early 2013, Late-2013/Early-2014, Early/Mid-2015, 2016-2017). The 2018-present Macbook Pros have several different displays so it's best to match them exactly. MacBook Air displays stayed the same for longer, with 2013-2017 all being interchangeable. The 2018 Air, of course, follows the redesign of the Pro line and is a retina screen so it is different. hope this helps someone! :)
