What is this B2002 thing all about?<\/p>\n<p>Well, the folks at <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2021\/02\/11\/apple-tbd-product-bluetooth-database\">MacRumors noticed Apple filed a product entry<\/a> on the Bluetooth SIG database under \u2018B2002\u2019 in October. Now, the company has put a trio of M1-equipped Macs under <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/launchstudio.bluetooth.com\/ListingDetails\/111989\">the same listing<\/a>. But B2002 is still there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay,\u201d I imagine you saying, \u201cbut what the hell does that mean \u2014 or have to do with anything?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, when the listing first appeared, many assumed it was just a term for M1 Macs. Now though, the addition of those machines to the database makes it clear B2002 is something else entirely.<\/p>\n<p>On top of this, there\u2019s a raft of products (like the iPhone 12, Apple Watch <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Series<\/a> 6, AirPods Max, and many, many more) that already have a listing on the database, meaning it\u2019s unlikely to be something within these categories. We have a hot, alluring mystery on our hands, people.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lets_round_up_what_we_do_know\"><\/span>Let\u2019s round up what we\u00a0do know.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As you can see below, B2002 is categorized as a personal computer, with a description as \u201cController Subsystem + Host + Profile.\u201d On top of this, the model number is still TBD (or \u201cto be decided\u201d if you hate acronyms).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-featured_img wp-image-1338794 lazy\" alt=\"b2002 apple product listing Bluetooth SIG\" width=\"796\" height=\"66\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/b2002-apple-product-listing-Bluetooth-SIG-796x66.png\" data-lazy=\"true\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/b2002-apple-product-listing-Bluetooth-SIG-796x66.png 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/b2002-apple-product-listing-Bluetooth-SIG-280x23.png 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/b2002-apple-product-listing-Bluetooth-SIG-540x45.png 540w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/b2002-apple-product-listing-Bluetooth-SIG-270x22.png 270w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/b2002-apple-product-listing-Bluetooth-SIG-1592x132.png 1592w\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>If you\u2019re sensible, there are a lot of things B2002 could be. Before the last Apple announcement of 2020, we theorized about a range of different upcoming devices, including\u00a0a new Apple TV<span>\u00a0and the long-rumored\u00a0<\/span>AirTags. Either of which would fit. And would be cool.<\/p>\n<p>It may also be some sort of chip used in the M1 machines, which, to me, is most likely. This is uncool.<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019m not interested in being sensible, cool, or uncool. Instead, it\u2019s time to fling some totally reasonable guesses about what B2002 actually is at the wall and see if any stick.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Guess_1_Apple_fan\"><\/span>Guess #1: Apple fan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-featured_img wp-image-1338818 lazy\" alt=\"B2002 apple fan\" width=\"796\" height=\"417\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/B2002-apple-fan-796x417.png\" data-lazy=\"true\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/B2002-apple-fan-796x417.png 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/B2002-apple-fan-280x147.png 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/B2002-apple-fan-516x270.png 516w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/B2002-apple-fan-258x135.png 258w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/B2002-apple-fan.png 1200w\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Bear with me here, but if you squint really hard at B2002, what does it look like?

Instead of it being sent on phones, what if Apple uses your iPhone location to cannon a brand new album at you from space? And what if it\u2019s Bluetooth-enabled, so you can connect your AirPods\u00a0<em>right to it.\u00a0<\/em>I\u2019m in the region of 80% that this will happen.<\/p>\n<p>The question though is\u2026 what album? I think I have the answer. The clue is all in \u2018B2002.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Unravelling the first clue is child\u2019s play: 2002. It will be an album from someone popular in 2002. Easy, we have the list of the best selling albums <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/year-end\/2002\/top-billboard-200-albums\">right here<\/a>. But the \u2018B,\u2019 what could that mean?<\/p>\n<p>A quick scan of the aforementioned list reveals our answer: the eighth best selling album of 2002 was\u00a0<em>Britney<\/em> by\u2026 Britney. That\u2019s a double \u2018B\u2019 right there. Even more, the number \u20188\u2019 itself\u00a0<em>also looks like a \u2018B.\u2019\u00a0<\/em>This is not a coincidence.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve got an iPhone, expect to see a new Britney album hurtling towards your delicate, human face very soon.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Guess_3_THE_END_DAYS\"><\/span>Guess #3: THE END DAYS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>All this seems familiar?
