What exactly is this W1 chip thing? Does it change the underlying bluetooth communication? That wouldn't make sense as the AirPod works with existing Mac as well. Looks like W1 chip is still utilizing the existing BT protocol but adds extra logic to make it easier for pairing/dropouts etc if the host (Mac/iphone) has support for it?
