The new MacBook Pro generation has been equipped with an SD card slot again at the request of many professional users. Apple has now provided more detailed information, which is somewhat disappointing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple's new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models come with an SD card slot that supports the UHS-II standard rather than the much faster USH-III standard, the company has confirmed. The UHS-II standard enables read and write speeds of up to 312 MB\/s, which is slower than the UHS-III standard's read and write speeds of up to 624 MB\/s. Apple confirmed the SD card slot's specifications opposite<\/a> The Verge, who noted that the decision to use the UHS-II standard is not "as forward-looking" as UHS-III. The UHS-III standard, which supports the fastest read and write speeds for SD cards, was only introduced in 2017. Some pro users had hoped that Apple would opt for the newer and faster standard on the 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro. Apple's MacBook Pro 2021 models are the first in years to offer additional ports in addition to USB-C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
