- The repair wizard is in the launch candidate of Macos Tahoe
- This feature facilitates the realization of completely calibrated repairs, as seen before with the iPhone and the iPad
- It means that MAC owners and independent repair workshops can implement hardware corrections and ensure that they work properly
In Macos Tahoe 26, Apple is expanding the potential to repair its Mac along the same line that was previously seen with the iPhone and iPad.
Apple Insider reports that Macos Tahoe will arrive with the repair assistant, which was introduced with the iPhone last year. This allows the owner of the device, or an independent repair workshop, to perform an repair and verify that it has been carried out correctly, and that the new part is completely recognized and functional (through a calibration process).
The code related to the function was discovered in the launch candidate of Macos Tahoe, the final version of the operating system that has just arrived before launching to the public next week.
The capture is that the function will only work with MACS that have an Apple Chip inside, so the oldest PCs with an Intel CPU will not obtain the repair assistant.
It is confirmed that Macos Tahoe will arrive on September 15, packing a completely new appearance in the form of a liquid glass interface, which has spoken a lot (and in fact joked). We are also obtaining a focus of attention, new continuity functions, specifically the application of the phone in the MAC, a dedicated application for players and more.
ANALYSIS: Repairs to nations
The repair wizard is important, since it means that you do not have to go to Apple for a solution if a component is broken in its MacBook or Mac with Tahoe macOS. Very technically safe Mac owners can theoretically repair their computer themselves, or an independent repair workshop can do so.
Using the repair wizard, it is also possible to cannibalize an old MAC and use it to repair another device.
As Apple Insider points out, this will be particularly useful to replace complicated components, such as the lid angle sensor in newer macbooks. This is a sophisticated sensor that needs to be accurately calibrated, which is exactly what the repair assistant will allow, which means that the replaced sensor will not reproduce and cause failures related to the screen (which could be the case otherwise).
The arrival of the Mac repair wizard is welcome, which gives users even more flexibility and control over their computers.
