A new Apple entry in a Bluetooth organizational database looks certain to be a Mac, and may be the as-yet unannounced 15-inch MacBook Air.
Recent reports claim that a 15-inch — or 15.5-inch — MacBook Air has now entered mass production. Separately, a database held by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, which counts Apple as a “promoter” member, has added a new Mac listing.
It does not state that the device is a Mac, nor does it give any details beyond that it will feature Bluetooth 5.3. Reportedly until the device undergoes a Bluetooth Qualification Process, it will not appear in the database’s publicly-available search results.
However, the listing filed on February 18, 2023, does reference a related “qualified design,” which states that it is to do with macOS.
This Bluetooth Launch Studio appears to only rarely list specific Apple devices. A current search shows only 10 results, with the most recent following this one, dating back to 2019. So it isn’t necessarily the same kind of early sign of a new MacBook Air that an entry in the EEC database might.
