Bluetooth connectivity issues

Anyone else have bluetooth issues with their 2018 Mac mini? Particularly with audio devices.

Whenever I connect with AirPods or a bluetooth speaker, the sound cuts in and out. Also when I connect, the output doesn't automatically switch to the bluetooth device and when I try to manually connect it only works 50 percent of the time. I usually have to remove the bluetooth device and re-sync.

I've waited so long for a Mac mini update and the fact that this new one doesn't work properly is killing me. I'm thinking of just returning it if this bluetooth issue doesn't resolve itself.

Mac mini (2018), macOS Mojave (10.14.1), null

Did you get your Mac mini replaced and it solved the problem?

What do you have connected to Mac Mini by wire? I mean everything that physically plugs into the Mini.

I don't think it's a Mac mini problem, because I had the same issues connecting mouse and keyboard to a new MacBook Pro, using an external monitor and mow I'm having it on my new Mac mini as well.

Pretty much the same for me. I get no mouse after a shut down and sometimes the poor precision/delays with mouse. Hope Apple fixes this soon.

Same issue here. 2018 keeps losing connection to the Magic Mouse 2. Totally frustrating!

or run USB adappters off the Lightning ports.

I think you meant get a USBC to regular USB port adapter since the Mini does not have any lightning ports

Everything was fine until the latest update was installed. 10.14.2 (18C54)

This is not a USB port power issue. It's a software issue and needs to be addressed by Apple immediately.
