Apple's MacBook Pro DFU port documentation is wrong


he Apple support document How to identify the DFU port on Mac, the DFU (device firmware update) port location for MacBook Pro models with Apple silicon is as follows: 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 or M5 chip: The rightmost USB-C port when you’re facing the left side of the Mac All other models: The leftmost USB-C port when you’re facing the left side of the Mac This is wrong, a discovery that took me about a half dozen attempts to update macOS on an external disk. I have a 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M4 chip, specifically an M4 Pro chip, and the DFU port seems to be the USB-C port on the right side of the Mac, not on the left side.
