Shortly after the start of delivery of the M1 MacBook Air, M1 MacBook Pro 13-inch and M1 Mac mini models, first reports documentedthat customers are experiencing issues with Bluetooth connectivity. Both first- and third-party peripherals, including mice, keyboards, and headphones, are said to suffer from intermittent connectivity. The list of affected devices also includes Apple AirPods.
