According to iFixit, the trackpad on the Touch Bar MacBook Pro seems to be identical to the one on the non-Touch Bar model, except for the flex cable, because the logic board is laid out differently.

The trackpad seems to be the only component that can be easily replaced on this MacBook Pro. “On the Touch Bar model, it looks like we can only remove the trackpad and headphone jack before hitting a logic board barrier,” read the iFixit teardown.

The battery is also glued down, which doesn’t help with repairs and replacement. Ultimately, the 2016 15-inch MacBook Pro is a machine that you’ll want to. The teardown also revealed that the SSD storage is not upgradeable because it is soldered to the logic board, as is the processor and RAM. That leaves the 13-inch model without Touch Bar as the only storage-upgradeable option in the 2016 MacBook Pro lineup. The Touch ID sensor is paired with the Apple T1 chip at the factory level, so if there is an issue with the power button, it means you’ll most likely have to get the entire logic board replaced. Having the power button be the same as the Touch ID sensor on the Touch Bar also adds some complications. Furthermore, the Touch Bar flex cable is routed underneath the upper case, making it more difficult to remove in one piece. “Our efforts to separate the OLED panel from the upper case resulted in the digitizer separating from the display,” read the teardown.
