Apple is again saying it will replace batteries on some of its devices. This time, though, the issue isn't an iPhone -- it's a MacBook.
Specifically, 13-inch non-Touch Bar MacBook Pros, which Apple says could have a defect that causes the battery to "expand."

Apple notes that the battery expansion "is not a safety issue," so it doesn't sound like people with MacBook Pros need to worry about their batteries suddenly exploding. Nevertheless, battery malfunctions are a serious issue, and one that obviously affects your ability to use your laptop, so it's probably a good idea to check yours.
And, on the upside, if your battery performance is starting to dwindle, this might be a good opportunity to get a replacement on Apple's dime. (The company says it will offer refunds for anyone who has already paid for a replacement due to the same issue.)
