iFixit has awarded Apple’s new Mac Pro a near-perfect 9 out of 10 score for repairability, dubbing the machine a “Fixmas miracle.” The repair specialists praised the computer for being easy to open, for having components that can be replaced without the need for any tools, and for even printing step numbers and diagrams directly onto components to aid with repairs.
It’s a huge departure from how Apple normally approaches the repairability of its products. Apple’s latest phone received a 6 out of 10 on iFixit, while its recent laptops have scored even worse. Even when the publication praised elements of the new MacBook Air’s design, it still awarded it an abysmal 3 out of 10 for repairability.
