A mysterious Apple network adapter running on iOS 15.5 has surfaced at the FCC - it’s unclear what the device might be.
The product has two Gigabit Ethernet ports, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC antennas, and a USB-C port. Furthermore, the Apple device features 32GB of storage and 1.5GB of RAM. The gadget also packs a battery.
More interestingly, a second version of the product features a Lightning connector instead of a USB-C. It also runs on just 1GB of RAM.The FCC doesn’t reveal additional details about the unreleased Apple product, and there’s a non-disclosure agreement in place until November 2022. That might be when the gadget is released, but that’s just speculation at this point.
The FCC documentation notes the agency tested the accessory connected to a MacBook Pro and an iMac. This indicates that we’re looking at some sort of Mac accessory. But it’s not clear what it might be. What’s puzzling is that the device features a battery, yet it should to work connected to a host computer. “The device is intended to be connected to a host computer and receive its power through a USB-A port during normal use,” the documentationDiagrams like the one above appear in the documentation, although this doesn’t help explain what the Apple Network Adapter is suitable for.
Apple does use iOS to power the smart features of its Smart Display. But that’s a computer monitor, which the documentation would likely identify as such.speculates that the unreleased product might be a device that Apple plans to use internally. If that’s the case, it’ll never see the light of day. One other possibility is that we’re looking at some sort of AirPort replacement. Apple hasn’t released a new model in years.. But that device would be running on tvOS.
