I think I've heard in the past that you cannot replace the battery one new MacBook Pros. Is that true?

Yes- the batteries in the Macbook Pros are non-user replaceable and non-removable.

So... not even apple could replace them? What do you do when they get old?

Apple can. They are not just so easy to replace anymore and replacement batteries are not sold

Note the important phrase non-user replaceable. Apple can replace the battery if needed.

So is that a service Apple offers?

I could have sworn I saw some MBP batteries for sale at the Apple store. I must be remembering wrong.

You did, but those batteries are for the 5-6 hour batteries found in the 1st generation Unibody MBP's.

Those batteries are user replaceable.

btw - I swear I'm not following you around.😛
