M2 MBA have bluetooth issues?

[rhaezorblue]

Its well known in this forum about the bluetooth issues the M1 MBA and M1 Mini have experienced - does anyone know of a teardown that shows the M2 MBA having a larger bluetooth antenna? Anyone experiencing any issues with the M2 and bluetooth devices, such as airpods pro?

I still have this issues on my M1...
Do you know how to solve it ? or the only way is to move to m2?

I believe unfortunately - yes. The M1 mini and air's have weak bluetooth antenna.

I found to cure my poor Bluetooth I just booted into Recovery mode, repaired permission and booted back normal and Bluetooth started working correctly!

I do not deny these exist, but I have no Bluetooth issues with my M1 Mini and M1 Max 16" MBP. I regularly use AirPods 3, AirPods Max, Magic Trackpad, Magic Keyboard, and Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. All that being said, all of my bluetooth devices are within 3 feet of said Mac's. I don't have the ability with my setup to test further range than about 10 feet, which have no issues with Audio when im away from my Mac.

I just tested my M2 Air. I set my laptop on my desk and went outside and got about 25 feet away before sound started cutting out. Of course that's through a closed metal door and brick outside wall. For comparison with my iPhone 13 PM I got another 10 feet. I have a steelseries Rival 3 Bluetooth mouse and went inside about 15 feet away and it still worked. I'd say it's more than good enough for it's intended use but if you have some edge case where you need super long range it might not work.
