Apple Vision Pro interfering with Bluetooth on my Mac

When my Vision Pro is not in use, it frequently interferes with Bluetooth connectivity on my MacBook Pro (M1 Max). Specifically, the mouse becomes unresponsive intermittently, Air Pods connect and disconnect, and the keyboard becomes unresponsive intermittently. (These are all Apple devices, not third party.)


Turning off Bluetooth on the Vision Pro always makes the problem go away, which indicates to me that it's the source of the problem. The only fix I've found is to make a habit of turning off Bluetooth on the Vision Pro when I'm not using it.


It doesn't happen constantly, but randomly. It's as if the Vision Pro is periodically looking around for devices to connect to and tries to connect to devices I'm using with my MBP. Also, the interference happens with all the connected devices at the same time.


FWIW, the Vision Pro is usually sitting a few feet away from my Mac when I'm not using it. I normally use my MBP in clamshell mode.


Has anyone else run into this? Is there a better solution? I assume this is a bug in visionOS or the device, and that it will be fixed soon (I hope). I tried doing an internet search on the problem, but nothing came up.

I'm having the same issue and I'm actually glad to hear that other users are having the problem too (I'm not happy that other people are having the problem, I'm just glad that it validates the experience that I am seeing).


I've noticed that if the Vision Pro is connected to the battery—and especially if it is in close proximity—it will cause AirPods Max to disconnect and reconnect repeatedly. It's a very irritating and frustrating. I haven't noticed it with other Bluetooth devices, but it would not surprise me if it's causing issues with them as well.


I'm going to file a feedback with about it and I would encourage everyone in this thread to do the same either with Feedback Assistant (the developer app) or using the Apple product feedback service:

Apple needs to know that this is a real problem that needs to be fixed.
