Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch Retina Early 2015 Review
Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch Retina Early 2015, model A1502 (MacBookPro12,1). 13.3-inch 2560x1600 IPS display, 8GB memory, 74.9Wh battery, two Thunderbolt 2 ports and MagSafe 2.
A1502 is printed on the Late 2013, Mid 2014 and Early 2015 13-inch Retina, but the battery differs by year. The Early 2015 takes the A1582; Late 2013 and Mid 2014 take the A1493. Check About This Mac for the year before ordering.
Replacement parts
Battery: Apple A1582 (74.9Wh) for Early 2015, Apple A1493 for Late 2013 and Mid 2014. The display is replaced as a complete assembly on this model rather than as a bare panel.
