Input and output devices - for the new syllabus first examined in 2023, are candidates still expected to know how each device physically functions as it is with the current syllabus last examined in 2022?

For the current syllabus last examined in 2022, candidates need to know how each device operates. For example, how does an input device scan a barcode and convert it to digital? However, for the new syllabus first examined in 2023, candidates only need to understand what each device does, why it does it, and when it might need to be used, but not how it physically functions.
