MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.8 is recommended for MacBook Pro (mid 2012) models. MacBook Pro Retina SMC Update v1.2 targets 13-inch MacBook Pro laptops with Retina display (late 2012 models), and 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display (mid 2012 models).
Finally, MacBook Air SMC Update v1.9 is aimed at MacBook Air (mid 2012 and mid 2013 models). All updates contain patches for the same set of flaws in each configuration.
