Bluetooth Stuttering Issues | iPhone 11 Pro Max | iOS 13

Don’t bother updating to iOS 14 beta, it doesn’t fix it. I also noticed that it happens to me on CarPlay when the phone is plugged directly into the lightning cable into the car USB port, not even using Bluetooth! And again, if I am in my driveway I get this interference the same as with Bluetooth (cd skipping staticky, music cutting out) but as soon as I drive away from my house it goes away. Also got a new Bluetooth speaker this week, same issues as every other audio device I connect whether it be Headphones or speakers and it happens more frequent in other rooms. Still haven’t pinpointed what it be. Nothing obvious that’s for sure. All I can do is wait on the next iPhone and hope it’s resolved.

It’s only when the car is near the house. I was just out mowing the lawn using my AirPods and the music kept cutting out on me even standing a good good 50ft from the house. It’s extremely infuriating. I did a full wipe and restore yesterday after downgrading from iOS 14 beta and it’s still the same issues. As soon as I restore my phone from my cloud backup the issue returns. I don’t know what kind of settings are restoring that are causing it or why I only get interference at home.

I’ve had my 11 Pro Max for 10 months before this issue started happening again. I refuse to believe it’s hardware related when it’s followed me through my last 6 or 7 phones. It’s impossible. It has to be a software issue. Only explanation is the backup I keep restoring to all my new phones.

If you check my previous posts I linked a thread I was active in on my issue. Your issue may be specific to your iPhone 11 but this issue has happened to my last several phones of different gens over the year. I always buy the latest and greatest iPhone and this issue eventually starts happening months into owning my phones. I’ve replaced so many of them through apple care and the same thing happens again and again.

Well, after months of having the issue disappear and not recur the stutter suddenly came back with a vengeance. Now, I will be listening to anything on my iPhone, the stutter will start, then I will cease hearing the music completely. If I switch to the iPhone speaker and back to my Powerbeats Pros I will hear the sound again. Absolutely no issue with the Powerbeats Pro when connected with any other device.

I think I got this one. Intermittent stuttering... any device.... reset/siri/phone side no good. I found a Bluetooth device, a very far (40 ft) through aluminum siding still on while in the charger. I figure the Bluetooth radios (both the phone and the Bose) were so good that even with that physical interference, the phone (at least) could get a ping from the Bose and went into acquisition mode, disrupting the desired Bluetooth connection. I think Apple needs to desensitize the non-connected Bluetooth device to keep this from happening. I have no Iphone or Bose radio specs or i could debug from here. Mainly it is Iphones problem for it serves as a master to all Bluetooth. Give me about $150k and access to your prints and specs and I'll send the fix to Software for encoding...... Really, I'm that good. Dropped acid with the Waz at Ontario Motor Speedway in 1978 at an US festival. He could fix it.....

How bout Superbowl tickets? Jus' Sayin'

Same. My BlueTooth Audio crackles and keeps breaking up. Forgot the device and re-discovered it. Rebooted - same issue?

Same problem with my phone 11 pro Max. Appears to be affecting AirPod Pro 2 as well. No issues on iPhone X. Its like Apple went backwards in tech on the new phones.

I don’t have an Apple Watch but have phone call Bluetooth crackle when phone is anywhere near head unit (I.e vent mount). Goes away with phone in my pocket.

i've turned Siri off and it still happens to save yourself the headache of shutting her off.

Experiencing this still day one, genuine so disappointed in this Bluetooth chip. Hopefully now that they’ve admitted the loss to Qualcomm we’ll get good connection chips again in the next phone.

Maybe Apple will be more sensitive to all of us if we go public with this issue on all social networks and influencers, since they give a sh#%#*| on us by not resolving the issue.

I am experiencing the same slur. It’s almost like when a tape used to get caught up and slows down. I have iPhone 11 Pro Max using AirPods via Bluetooth.

Same. My Bluetooth sounds weird and then my phone keeps dropping calls randomly. When I’m on a call. The other person sometimes will cut out and the call will drop. It has happened to me 5 times since I got this phone.
