I translate this as “Qualcomm admits Bluetooth is a shitty mistake and its time to move on”

Bluetooth is awesome for many things still. And it keeps getting better. Just not better enough to be optimal for high quality audio

It should be read as “Qualcomm looking for new ways to put users on their proprietary IP so they can extract new profits.”

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.

That’s unfortunate. Devices like that are basically impossible to use on certain enterprise networks (e.g. college campuses). There really needs to be an override

Surprised we haven’t ditched bluetooth for something like this earlier

I thought that too. However last I checked Wifi Direct still loses to Bluetooth LE in idle power consumption.
I do hope wifi direct or UWB can catch up so we can finally sunset Bluetooth.
