- hoistbypetard 5mo agoThe piece I linked, along with the parts for sale in the iFixIt shop seem to contradict your assertion. The piece says: "The Neo has the same modular bits and bobs we’ve applauded in recent MacBook designs. The USB-C ports are modular, so a damaged charge port doesn’t turn into logic board work."

I've only changed a battery on that model, not the ports, so I haven't verified, but those steps are detailed enough and consistent enough with what I observed, that I believe them.
