Research notes (unverified)
- Apple T2 chip. The SSD controller, audio, FaceTime camera and ambient light sensor are reached through the T2 bridge (apple-bce binds on real Linux machines). Keyboard and trackpad are also USB devices behind the T2.
- Booting a non-Apple OS requires Startup Security Utility (in Recovery) set to "No Security" and "Allow booting from external or removable media". The Broadcom Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chip needs Apple's firmware files.
- Charging is over USB-C.
- Adds a True Tone display; hardware is otherwise the 2018 model.
