CHENGDU, China, October 28, 2020 (TECHMAGZINE) – iBoysoft (https://iboysoft.com/), a professional data recovery and disk management software provider for individuals and businesses, confirms that its flagship product, iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac, has been the only Mac data recovery software so far that is fully workable with T2-equipped Mac computers released 2018 or later. With the software, you can recover any deleted or lost files from an APFS formatted Mac internal hard drive, especially encrypted by Apple’s T2 chip. 

99% of Mac users don’t know if their Mac has a T2 chip 

Since it cannot be seen or felt when a Mac is working, 99% of Mac owners don’t know if their Mac comes with a T2 chip.

Computers that come with a T2 chip include:

• iMac introduced in 2020
• iMac Pro
• Mac Pro introduced in 2019
• Mac mini introduced in 2018
• MacBook Air introduced in 2018 or later
• MacBook Pro introduced in 2018 or later

You can also check the System Information and find if “Apple T2 chip” is seen on the right after selecting Controller or iBridge in the sidebar. 

The T2 Security Chip, as the successor of the T1 chip, is a silicon chip soldered on the motherboard, as its name suggests, to improves data security to a new level through secure boot, encrypted storage, and limited face and voice exposure. The hardware encryption and on-the-fly encryption the T2 security chip uses have created a nightmare for most third-party repair services, data recovery software providers and refurbishers. 

The only Mac data recovery software with full T2 chip compatibility

With the release of iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac Version 3.6, the software is equipped with powerful T2 chip data recovery capabilities. Not like other software with limited T2 chip compatibility, it covers all data loss scenarios that can happen to Mac internal storage encrypted by T2 chip:

• Undelete files after the Trash is emptied.
• Find unexpectedly deleted or lost APFS volumes and restore data from them.
• Restore photos, documents, videos, audio, etc. from corrupted/unmounted/unreadable APFS volumes.
• Get files off a Mac that is not booting up. 

“We are very confident that our software has been the only one that claims full compatibility with T2 chip by now. With the owners of newer Macs increasing, the number of complaints about data recovery process failures rises up too,” said Charles Cheng, the marketing manager of iBoysoft, “the breakthrough was made back in May this year, and now it is time to spread the news that there is major possibility to retrieve your files from a Mac device with a T2 chip.”

Scan T2-encrypted Mac storage without disabling SIP

System Integration Protection (SIP) is a security technology built in operation system to prevent the protected part of the OS from the potentially malicious software. Therefore, any third-party plug-ins or software requiring access to the startup volume will be denied unless SIP is disabled in macOS Recovery Mode manually. 

But this piece of software by iBoysoft doesn’t require any extra efforts to turn off SIP when you use it to scan Mac startup disk. It is secure and won’t edit the root files or folders of the operating system. 

Recovery process happens in macOS Recovery Mode

The software offers an unprecedentedly easy solution to file recovery from a Mac with a T2 chip. Different from the traditional way to restore files by installation, the iBoysoft software is launched in macOS Recovery Mode through a simple command line to ensure the best recovery results from a T2-equipped Mac by eliminating the possibility of overwriting to a most extent. 

This is extremely helpful and convenient especially when a Mac is stuck in loading process or boots to a black/white/grey/blank screen and the desktop is nowhere to access. No need to create a bootable drive using another healthy Mac and then boot up the troubling Mac to get files off either. 

Pricing and Availability 

iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac works in macOS 10.15/10.14/10.13/10.12 and OS X 10.11/10.10/10.9/10.8/10.7. The price for Professional Edition with T2 chip data recovery features starts from $89.95 with a one-month license.
