iPhone 11 on iOS 13 having Bluetooth connectivity issues

I also have this issue with an older aftermarket Kenwood head unit where my iphone X had no issues with connectivity up until this past few days when i switched to the new phone. I have the 11 Pro Max and i already updated last night to iOS 13.1 and still has the issue.

I have tried rebooting the phone and head unit and re-pairing it but it won't stay connected after pairing. it will disconnect.

I thought the issue would be resolved with 13.1 but as of now i am unable to use my bluetooth in my car.

I also have aftermarket bluetooth headset i use at the gym and this had no issues as well as my apple watch.

It may be an issue that is isolated to iPhone 11. So far I have not

seen any Bluetooth issue with iOS13, my iPhone 8, and my

car system which I find really surprising since it is an old

Ford Microsloth Sync system.

Have been considering an iPhone 11 since I am eligible for upgrade

but maybe I should hold off?

Same issue here with my iPhone 11 pro connecting to my Volkswagen! Never had this issue with my iPhone X or 7 Plus. Unable to make calls out of the car because connection keeps dropping. More than annoying... 🤬

Can confirm I am seeing the same issues with bluetooth devices & iphone 11 & ios 13. My Amazon Echo disconnects randomly from bluetooth and reconnects a few seconds later, this never used to happen on previous iphones/ios.

Same here (UK, iPhone 11 Pro Max 256 GB Midnight Green).

Connection in Mercedes (Bluetooth). Connects, then disconnects, then connects again - and repeat. Also, when using the car controls it says "Device is not responding" on the car screen. There is serious lag and connection issues.

Also (probably another thread) I have to put phone into and out of Airplane Mode around 40-50 times a day as the connection drops. Still shows 4G and full bars, it's just it doesn't connect to any data or anything.

Going back to the Apple shop tomorrow and going back to the iPhone XS Max. This one is shockingly poor!

Also got connectivity issues. Volvo S60 doesn’t see iPhone 11 pro at all, didn’t have issues with 4 previous models. Also everything except for AirPods (the are from this year) can’t connect to iPhone over bluetoooth nor can discover it. 13.1 update also didn’t help. Very annoying

Confirm exact same problem with iPhone 11 Pro MAX. Bluetooth connects just fine, but keeps dropping my car connection every few minutes. Never had that problem with iPhone X. Its either ios 13 related or a hardware.

Yeah 13.1 on a Pro Max and I’m definitely having issues.

noticed my watch has been locked and not getting notifications despite being on wrist all day.

had 3 dropped connections on a call driving home tonight which lead me to this thread 😞

XS Max worked flawlessly with the car too

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.

Bizarrely, when I called Support they told me it’s likely to be a SOFTWARE issue and to restore in iTunes. I don’t have a laptop to do this on so going back to the store.

Also, I connected via the car and it did NOT cut out this time! (I’m going to the store due to the internet / data cut out and having to put Airplane mode on 50 times a day)

My husband and I are having this same issue with our 11’s. I updated my 10 to ios13 before i got my 11 and did not have this issue. I don’t see this fix listed in iOS 13.1. Super annoying. I will be talking on the phone and next thing i know they are on my phone and no longer connected via Bluetooth. Issue with Toyota 4Runner and Chevy Silverado.

Try disabling “Hey Siri”.

It appears to have worked for me.......so far.

My iPhone 11 appears to regularly connect to my 2014 Dodge Dart uconnect radio. The calls are also much clearer than the intermittent connection I had before turning off Siri.

My cheap $12 amazon bt headset i use at the gym works great no connection issues and no crackling sounds. My car is a different story. 2014 Kenwood DNN991HD keeps disconnecting. My iphone X had no issues but i haven't checked after the iOS update since i gave it to my husband who uses carplay instead.

I read on some other forums the beta 13 v4 supposedly fixed some of these issues but i am uncertain if beta 13 v4 to 13.1 included those updates.

Last resort is to restore.

Same thing is happening to me. iPhone 11 max pro. I will connect to Bluetooth headphones or my vehicles Bluetooth and connection ALWAYS drops after a few minutes and I have to reconnect. They better come out with a fix for this otherwise this phone is going back.

Another one here with iPhone 11 Pro Max 256GB on iOS 13.1, bluetooth connects to my Plantronics PLT Edge and works for about 60 seconds then completely disconnects. If I manually push the button on the headset it will reconnect but then I've already told the person on the phone to "hang on" and lose 20-30 seconds each time because I can no longer hear them or they can no longer hear me.

This is a glaring oversight!!
