A feature built into older models of the MacBook Pro with Touch Bar was removed from the 2018 release, a report from MacRumors reveals, spelling bad news for recovery of #
Emergency In the event of a logic board crash on both the 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pro, users can assign them to an official Apple technician to recover the data stored on the SSD via a specialized mechanism called the Customer Data Migration Tool.
However, the connection required to use this tool proved to be absent from the 2018 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar in a disassembly led by iFixit suggesting that such recovery is no longer possible.
Plan B? Maybe C?
Although it is not expected, the migration tool has provided the last hope to users who could no longer start their MacBook Pro once the logic board had failed due to the integrated design SSD.
According to "multiple sources" that MacRumors has contacted, the tool is indeed incompatible with the MacBook Pro 2018 with Touch Bar, but data can still be transferred via its Thunderbolt 3 ports when booting into target disk mode ,
A likely reason for the removal of the connection, as MacRumors speculates, is that the 2018 model of MacBook Pro with Touch Bar provides hardware-level encryption for its SSD, just like the iMac Pro .
An internal document obtained by MacRumors – designed to serve as a guideline for what Apple technicians should say to their customers – apparently advises them to regularly trust Time Machine; something we strongly recommend too.
We have contacted Apple for an official statement on the problem and will keep you updated as they occur.
