Apple's standard warranty does not cover damage caused by liquid entering the device. For this reason, the company has different methods for determining the real causes of problems. Now another one has been added to them.

As writes Macs can now inform Apple if any liquids have been detected in the USB-C ports 9to5mac, in the latest update of macOS Sonoma 14.1, the Liquiddetectiond system tool has appeared, which performs background analysis of all USB-C ports and records cases of their getting wet.

The iPhone and iPad have a similar feature. But in the case of them, it is used to alert users so that they immediately disconnect the charging cable and have time to prevent damage to the device. On computers, it is intended for employees of service centers. With its help, they will quickly understand whether the device is subject to free repair.

This innovation will be an addition to the existing diagnostic methods. Liquid Contact Indicators (LCI) have been used in Mac for a long time. These are small paper elements hidden in the case that change their color when in contact with moisture.
