? Wi-Fi 5
While Apple has begun rolling support for the new 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 standard into its mobile devices — both the iPhone 11 lineup and the new 2002 iPad Pro now offer Wi-Fi 6 support — it appears to be in less of a hurry to add the technology into its MacBooks.
There could be several reasons for this, but it’s probably not as big of an omission as it sounds right now. Firstly, you’d need to have a Wi-Fi 6 router to take any advantage of it at all, and while Wi-Fi 6 does offer faster performance, the bigger benefits are in its ability to more efficiently handle congested networks and use less power — both things that Apple’s mobile devices definitely benefit from, but are less crucial for MacBooks.
