I just want an HDMI 2.1 port is that not gonna happen ? WiFi 6e also dealbreaker

[TheRealAlex]

So I’m gonna pull the trigger on the M2 MacBook Pro but is it gonna have an HDMI 2.1 port ?

Also I‘ve completed my home tech Upgrade and all my devices except my Nintendo Switch are WiFi 6 or 6e. For speed and security is Apple not joining the WiFi 6e community?

Did you take a look on the specs for the M2 MBP Apple provides? You’ll find the info - and more - there. 🤓

TL;DR: M2 MBP comes with

• 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6

and

• 2 Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports with support for: Charging, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt 3, (up to 40Gb/s) USB 4 (up to 40Gb/s),USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10Gb/s).

Still on 6 not 6e
Also BT 5.2 is missing.
We are 2022 come on Apple.

Just because M2 doesn't have WiFi 6E, doesn't mean M2 Pro/Max won't get it.
Look at iPhone XS and Apple TV 4K - both are running on A12 but Apple TV 4K got WiFi 6.
The same thing is with Thunderbolt - M1 has Thunderbolt 3.0 but M1 Pro/Max got Thunderbolt 4.0

It's up to Apple if they want to put more antennas, update WiFi and Thunderbolt controllers.

I personally think they'll update Macbooks Pro to HDMI 2.1 and Thunderbolt 5.0 after they announce the new ProDisplay XDR with 120Hz refresh rate.

Consider yourself as being in the city of Casablanca, c. 1943.
