AI-powered software now scans devices in minutes, identifying faults that traditional checks miss.

For Apple repair Malta users, AI features in macOS Sequoia predict battery degradation early, recommending service before full failure. In our Mosta workshop, this cuts diagnostic time by 50%, letting us focus on certified fixes as Apple IRP and Microsoft partners.
