Just got back from the Apple Store to return my 15" MBP TB for a 13" MBP TB. During the return/exchange, when the 15" was scanned, a message appeared on the Apple employee's iPhone. My two-day old 15" was to be recalled - I'm guessing for the Graphics Card issues (I had the 455). Just a heads up for anyone with an upgraded 15" MBP TB.
Got a tip for us?

15" MBP TB Recall

There wasn't a specific reference - just that that particular model was being recalled (the 455 is my best guess).
I hope it was recalled and a fix is in the works. This will benefit all of us and I can re-order another one.
Apple messed up with the 2016 Macbook Pro.
The price is too high. USB-C is worthless right now. The touchbar has very little going for it. There's tons of bugs and issues. The battery is questionable. They took away magsafe. And now recalls?
Very sad.
All Microsoft has to do is release Windows 11, and make it amazing. Make it simple. Make it magical. Take away all the extra frills and really give OS X a run for its money. And work on their damn trackpads. Apple is a follower now, they need someone to push them in the direction of simplicity...right now they're copying Microsoft, and Samsung, and all the other brands.

The 13" MBP nTB is by far the best refresh apple has going for them. Not only aesthetically but functionality without ISSUE.
For what it is, the base nTB 13" is a decent machine.

Oh no we're at it again..I think many first generation Apple products have some issues.
What are the complete specs of your machine? You assume it's the 455, but it may be something else. This is the first we've heard of a problem on this forum, I think. Seems strange, to hear something like this in this way. I also have the 455, so i'm concerned. A quick Google brings nothing up.
We're still early in ownership... Apple's engineering probably wants computers back that come back with problems..... tho it sounds like yours was just a simple return.
It's nice that people are typing in their thoughts about the MBP (Even though it's been weeks, and even I'm tired of it), but did anyone else go to the Apple Store to confirm this "official recall?" Does it extend to 450 and 460? What are the details about it?
But that's what they said about the first iPhone. Too expensive. No USB. No apps. Buggy as all hell. Terrible battery life. Etc.
I'm pissed as all hell too about these issues but next year all of that should be polished. I certainly don't NEED this new MBP, but sure as hell WANT it.
Apple has us by the balls. We'll just have to wait for it to get better.
Yep, those complaining and whining out there. This is it. You are the consumer, take it or leave it.Apple has us by the balls. We'll just have to wait for it to get better.
Splitting hairs?! He told me that it's buggy and problematic because it's a gen 1 product. That's not splitting hairs. Wow.
Udder lack of quality control? Sure....
The way people bug out on Apple continues to amaze me. If you don't like their products, don't buy them and move on the the Microsoft forums.

I agree 100%!!!!
You'll be surprised how some people just love splitting hairs and making a big hoo-haa out of nothing. Any one, young or old, experienced or not, is going to know I meant the first iteration of the new MacBook Pro.
but that's alright!
A recall would go out as a PR release before any retail store employee hears about it.
WAT?
[doublepost=1480142400][/doublepost]
From what I have seen on this forum and knowing how internet is working - this is yet another fake news - just in time for Black Friday.
It is so sad and pathetic
THIS!
