Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch 2019, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports Review
Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch 2019 with two Thunderbolt 3 ports and Touch Bar, model A2159. 13.3-inch 2560x1600 IPS Retina display, quad-core Core i5, 58.2Wh battery.
The entry 2019 13-inch takes the A2171 battery, the same pack used in the 2020 A2289 and the M1 A2338. It does not share a battery with the four-port A1989 even though both carry a Touch Bar.
Replacement parts
Battery: Apple A2171 (58.2Wh). The display is replaced as a complete assembly on this model rather than as a bare panel.
