btw: does apple have especially bad bandwidth for non-apple bluetooth products?

Like linux used only half of whats available in headset modes for years (and just very recently fixed it).

IIRC, iOS 8 cut the BTLE bitrate in half for using Apple APIs. I worked in the fitness tracker industry at the time, and this is why most major vendors used their own stack, rather than Apple's.

Apple APIs? I just thought of a generic bluetooth headset. On ios sound seems especially bad for me. My main comparison though is a dongle which is not bluetooth either.
