Frequently asked questions

Does this trackpad fit both A1706 and A1708?
Yes, the trackpad is identical for both. Apple used the same Force Touch mechanism for the Touch Bar (A1706) and non-Touch Bar (A1708) variants.

What tools do I need?
A P5 Pentalobe screwdriver (for the bottom case), a T5 Torx (for the trackpad frame), and a spudger to disconnect cables.

How do I know if my MacBook is A1706 or A1708?
The model number is printed on the bottom of the case. A1706 has a Touch Bar (OLED strip above the keyboard), A1708 has standard function keys.
