Can you recover data from my MacBook Pro 13-inch (2016, Touch Bar)?
The storage is soldered to the logic board, so it cannot be removed and read in another machine. If the Mac won’t start, we repair the board to bring it back to life long enough to copy your files off safely.
Is it worth repairing my MacBook Pro 13-inch (2016, Touch Bar)?
Its last supported system is macOS 12 Monterey, so it is now an older Mac. An SSD, battery or clean-up often gives it years more life, but for a serious board fault we will usually suggest recovering your data and putting the money towards a newer Mac.
