Last year, when the Apple MacBook Air 13-inch model was launched, the laptop came with support for Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity out-of-the-box. That has now changed, based on the official specs listed on the company’s website.
As per the listing of the 13-inch MacBook Air on the Apple website, the device now has support for the newer Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, which is said to be faster and more reliable.
The development comes after the Cupertino-based technology giant introduced the new 15-inch MacBook Air laptop with support for Bluetooth 5.3 at WWDC last month.
Thanks to the latest standard, the device will now have more reliable connections with Bluetooth accessories and improved power efficiency, which can contribute to longer battery life.
Bluetooth 5.0 is now a bit older technology, launched back in 2016. On the other hand, Bluetooth 5.3 was introduced in 2021 and a lot of Apple devices use it, including the iPhone 14 series, Apple Watch Ultra, AirPods Pro (2nd Gen), and the latest iPad Pro models.
The 13-inch MacBook Air also comes with a new 70W USB-C power adapter, similar to the 15-inch model. Recently, Apple expanded its self-repair program to include M2-powered MacBooks and the iPhone 14 lineup.
