Apple's track record with wireless is atrocious over the last five years. Over the last four OSs, over 3 different macs (07 mbpro, 12 air, 13 mbpro) the Bluetooth doesn't work for audio at all except sometimes when the speaker so close it's actually touching the laptop. (Works fine in the same space from my phone in case you're wondering if it's interference). Hell, even the Magic Trackpad 2 something they control completely and only works on OS X (currently) can't do Bluetooth without skipping (better but not fixed in Sierra). Same thing with RF dongles from Logitech which become completely unusable on OS X yet have no problems on Win/Linux. I haven't noticed WiFi problems per se, but I think two out of three wireless systems not working on Macs is enough.

Of course, Apple ignores every single problem.
