iPhone 11 on iOS 13 having Bluetooth connectivity issues

New iPhone 11 on iOS 13 is having Bluetooth connectivity issues.

both my daughter and I are having the similar issues.

daughters phone is an 11 64GB Purple.

mine is an 11 128GB White

Hers gets connected to her 2018 Toyota C-HR and constantly drops out. Her iPhone 7 Plus never had any issues.

I have mine connected to a Boss BT module on my motorcycle. Never had any issues with my iPhone X.

neither of our other phones we’re running iOS 13.

I updated to 13.1.2 It looks like "MOST" of my issues have been fixed with this latest update. My 2012 Scion xB stock stereo is now not dropping or getting garbled calls. My iFrogz headphones are now staying connected when paused in Pandora.


The only remaining bug(s) I'm seeing are:


  1. Hey Siri is somewhat spotty. Like the phone isn't hearing me sometimes. Very random.
  2. When placing a call via Hey Siri in my car, the bluetooth connection between my iphone 11 and my scion xB, will connect/disconnect several times before the dialing sound starts. Once the dialing starts, it stays connected.

I'm having the same issue with iphone 11 256gb - connection with my car went off and on for about 3 times during a 3 and half hour drive. It seems to happen more frequently with my airpods - I'd say about every 30 min? It disconnects and reconnects automatically within a second, but i'd have to hit the play button again for music to continue to play, which is annoying. Never had any issues like this with iphone 4, 5, 5s, 6s, or 7.

Basically nothing!!!!!...........And this is my second 11 Pro Max ......I got one on Friday .......returned it today for a new one........My new 1 day old 11 Pro Max does the same thing.......but at least the first one did pair to my car for 5 mins and kept disconnecting......This one wont even pair. I had the I Phone X prior and Bluetooth connectivity was flawless!!!!


I have several Apple products ...including...4 different IPads .....even the new IPad Pro .........never had a problem connecting or pairing to anything Bluetooth....


I read it might be a software issue 13.1 was to fix the connection bugs.......I updated and still nothing........what in the world !!!! Is the problem.


My wife has a new I phone 11 and she is having the same issues plus ......she cannot connect her I Watch ......and she is about to pull her hair out........plus she keeps loosing all her workout info........so she is not a happy camper........


I love the phone the camera is great......I think have not had much time to play with it ..........Way too busy trying to connect!!!!


I hope and pray this gets corrected quickly ................this is taking us back to rotary phones and 8 track tapes......lol......


Apple please correct this issue.......

Thank you for this thread! So happy we are not alone with this. My wife has the same issue with iPhone XR (after update iOS 13.1) and our Land Rover Discovery Sport. Worked fine with previous iOS 12. Bluetooth connection is really unstable during call. It disconnect iPhone during call and connect again. And it repeats again. I reported my case to Apple... Can't wait to have solution because this is feature for daily use. Hope it will be soon.
