I have a 2014 13" Macbook Air that needs a new mobo, and it appears that the 2013 and 2015 motherboards might be compatible. Anyone know if that’s the case?
Simple answer No! Apple used different display interfaces between these series. The first used LVDS and the newer uses iDP so the connections at the logic board are different. In addition the FaceTime cameras are also different across the series as well.
Simple answer.. yes! MacBook Air 13” 2013-2017 are all intercompatible. And the 2013-2014 have the same gen Intel CPU, and then it only changes a bit for the 2015 and again for the 2017. Source: I commonly buy these boards and generally try to source the 2015 boards for all 2013, 2014, 2015 models as to give my customers a little upgrade.
Just to rekindle /hijack this thread, could I please seek advice whether a motherboard from an 11” would go straight into a 13” MacBook air ? Cheers
If I read this thread correctly I would not be able to use MBA 11” 2015 logic board in an MBA 11” (2011 or 2012 model), correct?
