(Reuters) - Apple Inc
<AAPL.O> on Friday said component failure in a limited
number of MacBook Pros has caused built-in battery to
expand, adding, it will offer worldwide free replacement
for such batteries. |

Apple said the flaw, reported in some 13-inch Macbook Pros
without touch bars, is not a safety issue.
The affected units were manufactured between October 2016 and
October 2017, Apple said on its support page, without giving the
actual number of MacBooks affected.
The iPhone maker previously came under scrutiny after it
confirmed in December that software to deal with aging batteries
in iPhone 6, iPhone 6s and iPhone SE models could slow down
performance. The company later apologized and lowered the price
of battery replacements for affected models to $29 from $79.
