Seems like a hard choice between two kinds of behavior that will annoy two different sets of people, and are mutually exclusive.

- shortcake27 4y agoThere used to be a option to disable bluetooth devices waking a Mac. It was removed a couple years ago. I can kind of understand because this would also prevent a keyboard/mouse waking the Mac, which isn’t ideal. I assume a lot of people were turning this setting off then complaining their Mac won’t wake. However, if a Macbook is sleeping and closed with no peripherals attached, I can’t see any use case for waking from bluetooth. It doesn’t make sense.
- yamtaddle 4y agoSleeping but plugged into a monitor, while closed, would be one. For other cases, I suspect it's more about making sure the device(s) can be used almost instantly after waking. Does seem like it'd be nice if the behavior were something you could toggle, though.
