Luke Miani: MBP leaks

UHS SD card as in the 27 inch iMac provides 300 mbps performance. This is interesting as you could use it as a boot drive. It's slower than modern stuff but still usable and far more usable than the legacy 100 mbps cheap cards.

The other thing is only 16 and 32 GB options for the M1X MacBook Pros.

That's not interesting.

The 16/32 GB is probably wrong if Apple moves to LPDDR5 since Micron has announced (but I don’t think shipped) 128 Gbit parts. If it is LPDDR5 then 16/32/64 is achievable with 4 RAM chips. Apple can put 2 chips on each side of the chip carrier making the SoC package size about the same as the M1.

Another possibility is first release with 16/32 GB and a future update to 64 GB if the parts aren’t immediately available.

We could also see the 14" MacBook Pro limited to 32GB (and 16 GPUs?) for thermal and battery-life reasons whereas the 16" could support 64GB and 32 GPUs.

Outside of the trivial Touch ID being illuminated, I didn't hear anything that we haven't heard before. That video was a waste of time.

Honestly, the illuminated TouchId sounds like one of the fake rumors Apple floats to out their internal leakers. A trivial addition that if it isn’t released, no one will actually care but very specific and not something previously discussed.

That is certainly possible. Either way, that kind of thing would be meaningless to me, not to mention something else that could break and need repair.
