Bluetooth 5 to be announced next week

Bluetooth 5, the next generation of Bluetooth standard, will be formally announced next week, offering double the range and quadruple the speed of the current low-energy wireless protocol.

The announcement will come on June 16 from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, of which Apple is a member.

  1. After all these years, Bluetooth is still a flaky standard. I know some people will say it isn’t, but we’d all be screaming bloody murder if wifi or ethernet were as unreliable as Bluetooth is in practice.

    I half-expect Apple to announce their own proprietary standard a la Lightning/Airplay to connect their own devices. (I wonder how much of the underwhelming experience of Apple Watch can be laid at the feet of Bluetooth flakiness?)

  3. I expect that there will be some announcements coming up (maybe this week, maybe not) that will include the necessity of Bluetooth 5 in Apple products. Some new feature that will require it most likely.

  4. Personally I believe the problem with Bluetooth is the frequency that it’s forced to live on and SO many bluetooth devices and other non-tech devices that affect it’s QOS. No other way around that other than open up the bandwidth. (I am not an engineer). Just seems logical to the technology as I understand it.
