One of the biggest changes arriving to the new MacBook Pro models is the SD card reader rumored to support the UHS-II standard. That only means increased data transfer speeds. > According to Luke Miani, a popular YouTuber, Apple will introduce a UHS-II SD card reader to the M1X MacBook Pro line. The new standard could enable both the 14-inch and 16-inch versions to support data transfer speeds of up to 312MB/s. Those speeds make it three times what standard SD card readers can achieve, as their 100MB/s limit could quell frustration amongst content creators and creative professionals.
