Bluetooth Core Specification 6.1 introduces enhanced privacy features through randomized updates of Resolvable Private Addresses (RPA), making it more difficult for third parties to track devices. Additionally, the new specification improves power efficiency by allowing the Bluetooth chip to autonomously manage RPA updates, which is particularly beneficial for battery-operated devices. However, widespread hardware support for Bluetooth 6.1 is not expected until around 2026.
