It does frustrate me so much how wireless things can be finicky.

For example, my AirPods Pro worked flawlessly, except for about one month where they'd have a hard time switching between devices. But then it fixed itself.

Separately, AirDrop had always worked flawlessly between my Mac and iPhone and iPad, for years. Except two weeks ago it stopped working entirely between any of them. Tried rebooting everything, no help. Still won't work.

I've never gotten Sidecar to work, even though I meet all the requirements. On the other hand, my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse have always worked flawlessly every day I've ever used them.

It's all so random and luck of the draw... and you can never tell if the problem is because of Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth, or device software settings, or device hardware configuration, or settings on your Apple ID, or what.
