How to check if your Mac supports Bluetooth Low Energy

NOTE: all Macs with an Apple Silicon chip (M1, M1 Pro or M1 Max) and most Macs manufactured on or after 2013 have Bluetooth Low Energy.

macOS Monterey or later

• Click the Apple logo menu
• Select “About This Mac”
• Click on the “System Report” button
• In the “Hardware” section of the sidebar, select “Bluetooth”
• Check the “Supported services” line. If the list of services contains “GATT”, then your Mac has Bluetooth Low Energy and will work with AirBuddy. If that information is not there, then your Mac does not have Bluetooth Low Energy and most features of AirBuddy won't work on your Mac, especially the ones related to AirPods.

macOS Big Sur or earlier

• Click the Apple logo menu
• Select “About This Mac”
• Click on the “System Report” button
• In the “Hardware” section of the sidebar, select “Bluetooth”
• Check the “Bluetooth Low Energy Supported” line. If that line says Yes, then your Mac has Bluetooth Low Energy and will work with AirBuddy. If that line says “No”, then your Mac does not have Bluetooth Low Energy and most features of AirBuddy won't work on your Mac, especially the ones related to AirPods.
