Q: There is a serious issue with Bluetooth for the iPhone 7+
I have provided links to doing a search for "bluetooth" as i was checking to see if anyone else has had an issue. It seems the bluetooth for the new 7+ and/or with ios 10 is having serious connectivity issues. It does not seem to be manufacture specific.
I found some discussions with similar audio drop outs with headphones as well.
My hope is to bring this some attention so apple engineers will take this seriously to get it fixed.
If you have these issues, please call apple and create a case number to get to the engineers.
Apple Case ****
My brothers 2013 kia optima has the audio cut out issue.
His 7+ as well as my 7+ both experience cut outs and turning off in his car.
Tried hard reset, reset all network settings, unpair/repair, forget device and delete from car.
No change
In my 2015 Subaru STi, i dont have the audio issues. However, i have to manually connect every time i start the car. Not a unpair/repair, but i have to go into the car stereo, list the phone and hit connect. Very frustrating.
Iphone 6, 6+, and 5s do not have any of these issues in either vehicle.
I have the older Sync in my 2011 F150. iphone 7+ and 6+ do not have any issues in my F150
