Rumors about the new Apple MacBook Air and Mac Pro have been circulating for a long time now. As suggested by previous rumors, the Cupertino giant is planning to release new Macs with an M2 processor and a large 15-inch screen. But we didn’t know what might be the surprising feature of these new devices.
Well, Apple recently introduced a new listing in the Bluetooth Launch Studio database. This is a step that sometimes heralds the launch of entirely new products. The filing did not mention any specific products. But it says that the device comes with the latest Bluetooth 5.3 standard.
Everything we know about the upcoming Apple MacBook Air and Mac Pro
Apple rumors suggest that new versions of the MacBook Air and Mac Pro will arrive sometime in the first half of 2023. While the new devices may have the same design as the 2019 models, they will actually come with an internal upgrade.
Besides, we expect Apple to package the new MacBook Air and Mac Pro with macOS 13.3. But the most important thing about the upcoming products is that they are likely to come with Bluetooth 5.3. Want to know why this is such a big deal?
Well, Bluetooth 5.3 brings significant improvements in energy efficiency and reliability. At least, that’s what the Bluetooth SIG has to say about the new standard. And it’s not like it will be the first time Apple has integrated Bluetooth 5.3 into its devices. The iPhone 14 series and the latest Apple Watch modes come with it.
Besides, the new device is also likely to come with WiFi-6E, which is already available in the Mac M2 Mini and MacBook Pro. Finally, even if Apple doesn’t announce the new devices at its spring event, it’s expected to drop quietly via a press release.
