Apple Releases MacBook Air Bluetooth Firmware Update

[wordy]

Any release notes on what this actually fixes? Any observations? I just installed it and don't notice anything different, but I only use BT for phone syncing and A2DP headphones.

I posted about today's updates too: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/468889/. I guess no one cares about them, no posts in that thread either.

After this update, I don't have a core drop nor fans blazing. Ever.

Just kidding

I guess there is a reason they don't describe in details what the updates are doing... it doesn't do anything, they just update trying make it look like they are working on things?

I would love to see the change control docs on the recent updates, but Apple has seemed to stop posting them.

The EFI update did seem to help, I am installing the BT one now.

Has anyone who had problems with tethering by BT tried after this update? I am curious to see if it has fixed the latency problem.

I installed it and I didn't notice any difference with my Wireless Wacom...

I will test it later today.
