Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Xiao Zhan for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, January 22 (Xinhua) Apple released a new generation of 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro on Tuesday, using faster M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. In addition, the new notebook is equipped with Wi-Fi 6e on the Mac for the first time. However, some applications will need to be updated to fully support the new Wi-Fi technology.

Wi-Fi 6e is a new generation of Wi-Fi that not only supports higher speeds, but also has lower latency and less interference. This is because the Wi-Fi 6e operates in a unique spectrum, which is much wider than that used by previous generations of Wi-Fi. In other words, you can use Wi-Fi 6e to connect to a faster, more stable network.

The first Apple device to support Wi-Fi 6e was the 2022 iPad Pro with M2 chip, and now the new MacBook Pro and Mac mini in 2023 also support the new Wi-Fi standard. Apple says the new Wi-Fi standard is "twice as fast as the previous generation".

However, some specific applications of macOS will need to be updated to adapt to the new Wi-Fi technology. Adrian Granados, co-founder and developer of Intuitibits, pointed out that the current version of macOS lacks a framework for third-party applications and cannot take advantage of the new Wi-Fi 6e interface. Intuitibits is the company behind the popular WiFi Explorer application.

Apple is likely to address this situation in future macOS updates, which the company is currently developing and is expected to release to the public in the coming weeks. Apple has confirmed that the update will enable Wi-Fi 6e for Japanese users because the technology is currently unavailable in Japan due to local regulations.

However, CTOnews.com noted that Apple's Chinese website pointed out that Wi-Fi 6e is suitable for countries and regions other than Chinese mainland.
