The slower devices transmit one third as fast, thus taking up three times as much wireless time-during which no other Bluetooth devices on the local network can transmit-as 2.0+EDR.Įarly adoption of Bluetooth standards is becoming old hat for Apple. Using older Bluetooth devices with a 2.0+EDR-compatible computer allows each device to operate at its fastest speed, but does drag the overall network speed down. The newer 2.0+EDR standard is backward-compatible with 1.0 through 1.2 devices. “It does require new silicon, and there’s some new software support” which Apple has added to OS X in the form of low-level drivers. That makes the technology ideal for including within computers even before the arrival of devices that take advantage of the technology, says David Russell, Apple’s senior director of portables and wireless. Faster and more efficient performance comes at little expense Bluetooth 2.0’s cost is only slightly higher than previously as most of its properties remain the same.
