Hand off MBP 2012 to/from iPhone 12/MBP 2019 GoodĪpple 7 Watch Unlock – unknown, waiting on UPS Late arrival and I already gave my Apple Watch 5 to a family member :'( I am really hoping this works…. I am a idiot and missed that.ĪirPlay from iPhone 12 Pro Max to MBP 2012 GoodĪirPlay MBP 2012 from/to MBP 16 in 2019 GoodĪirPlay MBP 2012 to LG LCD & LED 4K TVs Good Do note the bubble package has a QR code to scan to get to the instructions.

I wished the module would have fit in the original Wifi/Bluetooth bracket but you can’t have everything! I used Scotch Double-Coated Tape (665) to keep it on the “CD shelf”. The new module was fairly easy to install and opening up this MBP and working inside is easy too. While not recommended/supported by Subtle I am running Monterey via Open Core Legacy Patcher. Thanks so much for giving us a way to continue enjoying our now orphaned MBPs for at least another year and hopefully longer. I continue to be delighted with the Subtle Design’s WiFi card and have recommended it to several other mac users holding onto their mid 2012 MBPs (IMHO the best MBP Apple every designed). Once I updated to macOS 11.1, BT stabilized and I was once again able to depend on things like Continuity, watch wakeup, etc.

BT would always fire up and run until the OS was coming out of sleep mode and then all bets were off. As was the case in Catalina, macOS 11.0.1 had no issues with the new WiFi card.īluetooth was a bit rocky in macOS11.0.1 for everyone and I basically avoided depending on BT. I chose to use Bensova’s Patched-Sur to facilitate the move to macOS 11. This machine has had numerous upgrades over the years so one more was no big deal.Īs anticipated, the card fired right up in Catalina and I had full 802.11ac. I installed this card in my mid 2012 15″ 2.3Ghz MBP with the intent on moving my MBP to macOS 11, Big Sur.
