The 13-inch MacBook Air with the M2 chip now supports the faster and more reliable Bluetooth 5.3 standard, according to Apple’s tech specs. The model initially only supported the Bluetooth 5.0 standard when it was released in July 2022.
Apple updated the 13-inch MacBook Air’s tech specs page to say Bluetooth 5.3 after introducing the 15-inch MacBook Air with Bluetooth 5.3 at WWDC earlier this month.
Bluetooth 5.3 offers faster and more reliable connectivity with Bluetooth accessories, and improved power efficiency, which can contribute to longer battery life.
All new Mac, iPhone, iPad Pro, and Apple Watch models released since September 2022 support Bluetooth 5.3, as do the second-generation AirPods Pro.
As for WiFi connectivity, both the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models remain Wi-Fi 6 compatible, while other new Macs support Wi-Fi 6E for faster wireless connectivity over the 6GHz band.
