Apple has often been criticized for going out of its way to make it difficult for users to carry out their own repairs on iPhones, MacBooks, and AirPods, but the company is apparently taking a different approach with its desktop lineup in an effort to compete with Windows PCs. Originally unveiled at the WWDC 2019 conference earlier this year, the latest Mac Pro model can apparently be repaired without too much hassle, with renowned DIY website, iFixit, awarding it a score of 9 out of 10 for repairability.
However, the one area of concern is the proprietary technology that bounds the SSD to Apple’s T2 security chip, which means users will not be able to replace or upgrade the storage with regular components unlike in a Windows/ Linux PC. However, given that most of the other major components are modular and use industry-standard sockets and interfaces, the new Mac Pro should offer easy replacements and upgrades.
