  • We would tell you that this Broadcom BCM 943224 module looks just like the Mid 2011 MacBook Air's wireless board, but you would accuse us of being repetitive.

  • Instead, let's focus on what's different. Apple rotated the "Assembled in China" sticker 90˚ and flipped the internal code sticker a whopping 180˚!

  • In case you thought we were joking, taking the EMI shield off reveals the same chips as last year:

  • Broadcom BCM4322 Intensi-fi® Single-Chip 802.11n Wi-Fi Transceiver

  • Broadcom BCM20702 Single-Chip Bluetooth 4.0 Processor with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) support

  • Murata antenna switch module
