Apple filed its latest M1 Macs in the Bluetooth SIG database this week. This includes the MacBook Air, Mac mini and MacBook Pro – but a mysterious “B2002” device remains in the database and it is unclear what it could be.
Apple first introduced this mysterious “B2002” device, which is labeled in the “Personal Computer” category, in October. At the time, it was speculated that it could be a new M1 Mac or Apple Silicon Mac of some kind.
As seen by MacRumors today, Apple introduced its last three M1 Macs with the SIG Bluetooth, 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 listings for items like the iPhone 12, HomePod mini, AirPods Max and the various iPad models.
THE MacRumors The report points out that Apple occasionally files components separately in the Bluetooth SIG database, such as the H1 chip that is used in AirPods.
In addition to entire products, Apple occasionally archives components in 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 + Host + Profile Subsystem ”, So it’s possible that it refers to the M1 chip or other component on M1 Macs and it just hasn’t yet been updated to reflect that, but it’s yet to be seen.
Now that it has been ruled out that the “B2002” device is one of the first M1 Macs, no one knows what it might end up being. Apple first introduced the list on October 22, 2020, and several products are still in development, including AirTags, a new Apple TV and updated AirPods.
