Apple is issuing a worldwide recall of all 15" MacBook Pro batteries. This is a small PR and profit struggle for Apple. Notebooks are the flagship product for Apple right now, both in terms of brand appeal and sales. The cost of giving everyone who finds out about the recall a new battery eats into Apple's profit margins, and the black eye of admitting that they got past Apple quality control is a tough blow, as Apple prides itself on very good quality control.Apple notes that the batteries do not pose a safety risk, and can still be used until replacements arrive.
