Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, January 17 (Xinhua)-- Apple submitted an unreleased version of MacBook Pro A2779 in the Canadian regulatory database on January 11, which is expected to be launched soon.

CTOnews.com query found that based on the wireless frequency range mentioned in the document, the new MacBook Pro appears to support Wi-Fi 6e, which extends Wi-Fi to the 6GHz band for more bandwidth, faster speed, and lower latency. The current 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro supports the standard Wi-Fi 6, which is limited to the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.

Wade Penner, the source, also said that the laptop will carry Apple's M2 Pro or M2 Max chip and support the WiFi 6e / 6GHz band.

In addition, Apple will release its first 2023 product through a press release on its website on Tuesday, January 17, local time, between this afternoon and tomorrow morning Beijing time, according to whistleblower Jon Prosser. Foreign media MacRumors also confirmed that the product will be released this week.

According to revelations, new products to be launched include MacBook Pro and Mac mini. The updated 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro are expected to use the same design as the 2021 MacBook Pro, with M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, with higher performance. The updated Mac mini is also expected to carry the new M2 chip, which is rumored to be the same design as the current model.

MacRumors also said that Apple will hold a briefing with the press and media members on the new device later this week, and the ban on the evaluation of the new product will be lifted next week.
