I translate this as “Qualcomm admits Bluetooth is a shitty mistake and its time to move on”
It should be read as “Qualcomm looking for new ways to put users on their proprietary IP so they can extract new profits.”
Bluetooth is awesome for many things still. And it keeps getting better. Just not better enough to be optimal for high quality audio
Figuring out how to login to the wifi for you earbuds sounds like a fun time
It’s addressed in the article. It’ll just share the credentials from your phone.
Hopefully this means lower latency.
I would expect so. 2.4ghz wireless headphones for PC and Console gaming have been very good for years.
Bluetooth is 2.4Ghz wireless.
A Wi-Fi based system will almost certainly have higher latency given how much more processing the network stack needs. It adds more buffers in more places.
