> On the 13-inch MacBook Pro and MacBook Air computers with the T2 chip, and on the 15-inch MacBook Pro portables from 2019 or later, this disconnect is implemented in hardware alone.
Do these statements not contradict each other for the 15" 2018 MacBook Pro, for example, which includes a T2 chip? This would also contradict earlier documentation provided on the T2 chip by Apple themselves [1].
From [1]:
> All Mac portables with the Apple T2 Security Chip feature a hardware disconnect that ensures that the microphone is disabled whenever the lid is closed. This disconnect is implemented in hardware alone, and therefore prevents any software, even with root or kernel privileges in macOS, and even the software on the T2 chip, from engaging the microphone when the lid is closed.

The first app [1] is pretty niche but a technically interesting challenge nonetheless; it's a fast auto-checkout bot to be used on Supreme [2]. There's other apps just like it but they all seemed to cost upwards of $50, so mine's available for around $10.
The 20% is worth it for me because the computer seems to be fast enough anyway.
Looks like we're going back to the 00's
Having said that, the fact it takes 5 seconds is pretty arbitrary—we can't really say it's good or bad unless there is some basis for comparison.
