The Apple T2 chip takes care of tasks like secure boot, better encrypted storage, and compatibility with Hey Siri technology. Now it becomes clear that this chip may be causing problems on MacBook Pro and iMac Pro computers.

The Apple T2 chip would be responsible for a multitude of panic kernel cases on Apple computers

Digital Trends has reported that the owners of the Apple computers cited above have been experiencing kernel panic problems, which we can translate as Apple's version of the famous Windows BSOD. All error messages share a message in the form of "Bridge OS". Bridge OS is an operating system integrated in the Apple T2 chip to be able to perform all tasks.

This problem has been happening since the first computers with this chip included on the market, in late 2017. The problem is also affecting the new MacBook Pro of this year 2018, so it is something that has dragged on for almost a year. For now, Apple has not said a word about this problem, so there is no official confirmation that it is actually caused by the Apple T2 chip, although it seems quite logical that it is.

This is the second problem hitting the new 2018 MacBook Pro, the first is related to the thermal choking the Core i9 processor suffers from, although it has already been fixed with a software update. Given the price of this equipment and the issues you're having, it seems the smart thing to do for now is to avoid it until all issues are resolved.
