Are your Bluetooth devices missing these key features? Here's why - and who to blame

The article explains that while Bluetooth 6.2 introduces features like shorter connection intervals and Channel Sounding resilience, their presence in devices depends on manufacturers, so version numbers alone don’t guarantee capabilities. Channel Sounding remains sparsely adopted, with early implementations appearing in products like Motorola’s Moto Tag 2 and Bauer’s NE-CS smart lock, whereas Auracast is gaining real momentum across Android smartphones, headphones, earbuds, hearing aids, and home theater setups (e.g., Sennheiser’s BTA1). The practical takeaway is to temper expectations for ubiquitous Find My–style features in the near term and focus on Auracast-enabled audio broadcasting, which is seeing broader, cross-brand rollout.
