 I have comptibility question of nRF52 or BLE 5.0. 
 Although BLE5.0 is backward compatible with BLE 4.2 but it&amp;#39;s seems no document tell user about how to handle compatibility issue between different version of BLE device.

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;nbsp; understand BLE 4.x but not familiar with 5 ,Could help provide more detail infomation that Nordic knew in these situation of compatibility or help specify point out (chapters) where in the Core Specification talking about these issues ? We need these information to know how to handle these situations if our BLE 5 product appear in the current market in the future.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;

Take a look at the Bluetooth Core Specifications for more info on this.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It seems &lt;a href="https://blog.nordicsemi.com/getconnected/android-to-fully-support-bluetooth-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Android Oreo&lt;/a&gt; supports Bluetooth 5 connectivity. As for iOS, it seems&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history#iOS_11" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt; iOS 11&lt;/a&gt; is the first Apple OS that supports Bluetooth 5.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
