- The repair assistant is in the candidate for the publication of MacOS Tahoe
- This feature facilitates the manufacture of fully calibrated repairs, as we see previously with the iPhone and the iPad
- This means that Mac owners and independent repair workshops can implement hardware fixes and ensure that they are working properly
In MacOS Tahoe 26, Apple widens the repair potential of its Macs in the same direction as that previously with the iPhone and iPad.
Apple Insider reports that MacOS Tahoe will arrive with the repair assistant, who was introduced with the iPhone last year. This allows the owner of the device – or an independent repair workshop – to make a repair and to verify that this has been properly done and that the new part is fully recognized and functional (passing through a calibration process).
The functionality code was discovered in the candidate for the release of MacOS Tahoe, the final version of the operating system which has just arrived before its public launch next week.
The capture is that the function will only work with Macs which have an Apple chip inside, so the older PCs with an Intel processor will not obtain the repair assistant.
MacOS Tahoe is confirmed to arrive on September 15, packing a brand new look in the form of a liquid glass interface, which has spoken a lot (and in fact joking). We also get a peppery projector, new continuity features – in particular the telephone application on the Mac – a dedicated application for players, and more.
Analysis: repairs between nations
The repair assistant is important because it means that you do not have to go to Apple for a correction if a component Break your MacBook or Mac running macOS Tahoe. Very confident Mac owners can theoretically repair their computer themselves, or an independent repair workshop can do so.
Using the repair assistant, it is also possible to cannibal a part of an old Mac and use it to repair another device.
As Apple Insider points out, this will be particularly practical to replace the lively components, such as the lid corner sensor on new MacBooks. It is a sophisticated sensor that must be precisely calibrated, which is exactly what the repair assistant will allow, which means that the replaced sensor will not play and cause problems related to the screen (which could be the case differently).
The arrival of the Mac repair assistant is welcome, which gives users even more flexibility and control over their computers.
