Apple this week submitted its latest M1 Macs into the Bluetooth SIG database. These include the MacBook Air, Mac mini and MacBook Pro – but a mysterious “B2002” device remains in the database and it’s unclear what it could be.
Apple only introduced this mysterious “B2002” device, which is marked in the “Personal Computer” category, in October. At the time, it was speculated that it might be a new M1 Mac or Apple Silicon Mac of some kind.
As spotted by MacRumors Apple today unveiled its three latest M1 Macs at the Bluetooth SIG, and the ‘B2002’ is still listed separately with a ‘TBD’ model number. Despite initial speculation, this means that the “B2002” device is not one of the first M1 Macs. There are also separate Bluetooth database lists for things like the iPhone 12, HomePod mini, AirPods Max and the various iPad models.
The MacRumors report points out that Apple occasionally submits components separately into the SIG database of Bluetooth, such as the H1 chip used in AirPods.
In addition to the complete products, Apple sometimes adds components to the Bluetooth SIG database, such as the H1 chip in the second-generation AirPods and the W2 chip in the Apple Watch Series 3. The “TBD” list has a ” Controller Subsystem + Host + Profile ”description, so it is possible that it refers to the M1 chip or another component in the M1 Macs and simply does not need to be updated to display it, but it has yet to be seen .
Now that it has been ruled out that the “B2002” device is one of the first M1 Macs, anyone can think what it could eventually become. Apple only submitted the list on October 22, 2020, and several more products are in the pipeline, including AirTags, a new Apple TV, and updated AirPods.
