Apple recently launched its new M1 chipset as a part of Apple Silicon which is based on ARM architecture. It also launched three devices powered by the same — MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini, officially kicking off the transition from Intel to Apple Silicon.
It has been about a week since the devices are available in the market and now some users are complaining about Bluetooth connectivity issues, which range from sporadic disconnections with peripherals to complete failures.

If the reports coming from users on Reddit are to be believed, then the devices powered by the new Apple M1 chipset faces intermittent connectivity issues with both first- and third-party peripherals, including mice, keyboards, and headphones. Analyst Patrick Moorhead has also shared these issues on Twitter.

As of now, there’s information about how many M1-powered devices are impacted by this issue. Also, Apple is yet to confirm this Bluetooth-related connectivity issue.
Another set of users are also complaining about battery life, disputing the claim made by Apple. At the time of launch, the company had said that the new MacBook Pro powered by the M1 chipset can offer up to 20 hours of battery life.
Some users are saying that they are only getting around five hours of usage before the battery life drops to 10 percent. However, we will have to wait for more reports related to such issues to determine if the problem is limited to specific devices or not.
