Updated 02/11/2022: the Bluetooth flaw on macOS affecting the autonomy of portable Macs has been resolved with macOS 12.2.1 available since February 10, 2022 for everyone.Details here.
A few days ago two new updates were released for iOS and macOS. These are versions numbered15.3et12.2respectively. On the program, as we indicated in our columns, there is nono big news to get your teeth into. Some fixes, security improvements and interface adjustments are on the agenda, however.
Despite a meager batch of major changes, Apple has still achieved the performance to bring with these new OSsome very annoying bugs. Indeed, many users of macOS 12. and iOS 15.3 would be victims of new malfunctions.
iOS 15.3: Wallet affected
On iOS 15.3, the most widespread problem would affect the Wallet application (Cards in French):the synchronization of the cards would not be done correctlybetween the iPhone running iOS 15.3 and the Apple Watch running watchOS 8.4. Numerous testimonials report this bug on Reddit, but also in the forums of the Apple site. Note that the synchronization problem would be unilateral, it would only affect the iPhone to watch connection. Any modification of Wallet content made from the watch would be taken into account on the iPhone side.
According to the source, Apple is already working to correct the situation.
macOS 12.2: Problematic Bluetooth
On the Mac side, under version 12.2 of the OS, the use of Bluetooth accessories would result in adrastic reduction in autonomy. A Bluetooth-related process would run in the background with the Mac in a sleep state.
Whoa macOS 12.2 21D49 (the current version) is behaving like Windows! Battery went from full to 0% while on sleep mode overnight. Any fix,@AppleSupport?pic.twitter.com/w1kdJXyU7r

Machines with Intel chips and those with M1 chips would be affected, no one would be spared... While waiting for a patch to be delivered, you can always disconnect your Bluetooth accessories from the Mac. Obviously, this manipulation, as impractical as it may be, would serve to stop the bleeding effectively.
Who among you is affected by one or the other of these two concerns?
