Chosen Solution
Does anybody know if it’s possible to use the top case with display from a mid 2012 macbook pro 15inch retina on a late 2013 macbook pro 15 retina? From what i can tell the main difference is that the 2012 has a “n"airport card and the late 2013 has “ac"airport card. Are the antennas different? That’s the only thing i see that could cause problems. Of course,if the airport card can be swaped that could solve any antennas imcompability. Some time ago i replaced the top case with mate screen from a 2010 macbook pro with a top case glossy from a macbook pro 2011.That time i had to swap the airport card because the 2010 had 2 antennas and the 2011 had 3. Any help?
Nope, They are different.
Plug it in and see what happens
The other answers are careless and poorly worded. Yes, you absolutely can swap the screens. It’s just the iSight cable that will not be compatible, the screen itself and wifi will work perfectly fine.
