Apple Files M1 Macs in Bluetooth Database Alongside Mystery 'B2002' Product

[Apple_Robert]

Why is bluetooth still so inconsistent 30 years after it came out?

Because a lot of people don't go to the dentist like they should, and problems develop and fester thus producing the Bluetooth effect.

I'm waiting for b2003

do you have a battery powered monitor?

I have a Macbook Air and an iPhone, yes.

so you'd bring your MacBook Air around to use as a screen sharing monitor for your battery powered Mac mini?

Not just as a monitor, but as a keyboard and trackpad too! I am hoping they make a cheaper lighter laptop to go with a base station, with a new kind of wireless connection that resolves the latency issues. The goal is to free the laptop from the hot CPU, loud fan, and HDMI and usb cables, to make the laptop usable as a laptop, and unleash the CPU's full power.

but what's the point of a lighter laptop if you also are carrying around a Mac mini?

Could be a Bluetooth Game Controller.

Could be a Bluetooth Game Controller.

Or a gaming focused Apple TV, with the BT game controller and a remote.

I hope you are right, i want a Gaming Focused AppleTV with SSD not flash storage.

I want to see iOS apps on the M1 Mac App Store. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I thought you can do that by going into your purchased apps?

It use to be but now devs can decide if they want the app to be for M1 or not.

Oh - I can see a lot of them blocking that then - Fantastical being one for sure!

Yeah but hardly any of them are universal or comparable or even work properly, been a disappointing start so far for M1 iOS apps.

Plus most of the popular apps are nowhere to be seen.

To unleash maximum processing power from the CPU, and use laptop comfortably on your lap, without HDMI cables and usb cables and fan noise and heat. The CPU base station would only be slightly bigger than a dongle, depending on how much battery and ports, so the total weight of your bag wouldn't be much different.

Still M1 macs? I was expecting M2 at this point, or M1X at least. Don’t get me wrong, the M1 is an awesome SoC.

How could you be expecting that at this point?

 

[Populus]

I think I didn’t explain myself correctly. I definitely expect both the M1X and the M2 for this 2021. However, I think we won’t see the M2 until October.

When I replied, I thought we were talking about 2021 macs.
