The upgrade to Bluetooth 5.3 is a hardware update, meaning only the new MacBook Air models will benefit from it. If you purchased a 13-inch MacBook Air last year with Bluetooth 5.0 support, you will not receive this upgrade. Nevertheless, Bluetooth 5.0 is still suitable for most users, so existing MacBook Air owners need not worry. For those planning to buy a new MacBook Air, this free upgrade enhances one of the top laptops available on the market.
Apple has quietly upgraded the new 13-inch MacBook Air models with Bluetooth 5.3 support, bringing them in line with the capabilities of the 15-inch MacBook Air. Bluetooth 5.3 offers improved connectivity and energy efficiency, enhancing the performance and battery life of connected Bluetooth devices. Although this upgrade is only available in the newer models, MacBook Air users with Bluetooth 5.0 support can still enjoy a satisfactory experience. Overall, this upgrade adds further value to one of Apple’s flagship laptops.
