How do you know this?

Certainly when connecting Apple stuff to non-Apple Bluetooth hardware the standards must be obeyed. But when it is Apple to Apple, can there be a special mode invoked that could be more reliable? [/quote]

Because people who know a lot more about Bluetooth than me have said so.

There have been quite a few people recently hammering on the security of wireless keyboards for example, I've not seen any of them say that Apple is using anything other than normal Bluetooth.

Also, you can be sure that if they were using something that they consider better than normal Bluetooth that they would have been telling us all about it. After all, Apple aren't the sort of company to come up with a different way of doing something and not want to highlight it as a benefit of their products
