    2018 MacBook Pro: WPA3 and ax to be enabled in future update?

    10 years ago, Apple enabled a draft specification of Wi-Fi n through a software update for some iMac and MacBooks. Do you think the 2018 MacBook Pro will get the same treatment for Wi-Fi ax and WPA3? According to iFixit, the Wi-Fi chip is no longer Broadcom (and hasn't been in MacBooks since...
