Some of Apple’s MacBook Pro notebooks could be getting Wi-Fi 6E functionality in the near future.
According to a Canadian regulatory database, Apple appears to have filed an unreleased MacBook Pro with model identifier A2779 on January 11. The upcoming notebook could be Apple’s long-awaited 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M2 Pro and M2 Max chips.
Based on the wireless frequency ranges mentioned in the filing, it appears that the upcoming notebook will support the Wi-Fi 6E protocol. This could allow for more bandwidth, faster speeds, and lower latency. The current 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro support standard Wi-Fi 6, which is limited to 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
Other anticipated changes include a speed bump compared to the existing models with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips. Apple fully redesigned the high-end MacBook Pro in October 2021 with more ports, a notch, and more, and Macs often stick with the same design for multiple generations.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
