iPhone 11 on iOS 13 having Bluetooth connectivity issues

I'm on the same firmware and the problem is still there. I have two different Plantronics headsets and they both have issues. I have several other devices connected by BT that seem to work fine. Weird...

So is there a fix for the iPhone 11 not staying connected via Bluetooth or do we just sit back and accept it?

This is a brand new phone, purchased 11th December 2019 and is one of three iPhone 11 handsets purchased. The other 2 have been returned to Vodafone because of IOS 13.3 software issues.

That’s interesting. I challenged Vodafone the 30 day out of box warranty and escalated my complaint to customer resolution. They came back and said that technically the handset is not faulty. I responded by stating the handset is not fit for purpose. Vodafone are arguing that it is a design issue of the handset.

It works fine with my Motorola Boom 2 but it doesn't have any range, you move around the house and it disconnects. My old iPhone 6s I can go to the parking lot and it stays connected. I am so sorry I bought this iPhone 11

A new version of the Bluetooth standard means various improvements, but only when used with compatible peripherals. In other words, you won’t see any immediate benefit from upgrading to a phone with Bluetooth 5.0 if all your Bluetooth accessories were designed for an older version of Bluetooth. Bluetooth is backwards compatible, however, so you can continue using your existing Bluetooth 4.2 and older devices with a Bluetooth 5.0 phone. And, when you buy new Bluetooth 5.0-enabled peripherals, they’ll work better thanks to your Bluetooth 5.0 phone.

First of all most headsets are 4.0, 4.01 or 4.02, Searched all of Amazon for 5.0 and they don't have any, besides I'm not paying $200 dollars for a headset; even Air Pods from Apple connect and disconnect

Yeah it's pretty sad. I have been doing the diagnostics, I call them and they aren't even aware. I paid a lot for iPhone 11 and there answer was to wipe it, don't put my apps and all on and if it works I'm out of luck and am stuck with this iPhone. I going to hope they address this in the next update.

I spoke with Apple Support last night and they said they were unaware of this problem with connecting the iPhone 11 to Bluetooth in my car. It is so sad to have paid this much for a phone and I can’t use it in the car.

Yep that's what they said to me too...Truth of the mater is there isn't an operating system that isn't sent to market without problems. We are they're tech support...AND we have to pay them to do it...

Yeah, right?? all of the Senior Advisors claim not to know about any Bluetooth connectivity issues. Maybe some of them do't wear headsets or don't have cars that are Bluetooth Ready; It's amazing they claim not to know.

I have a watch with the latest software and sometimes I leave the watch at home and it seems to work. Sometimes I turn it off and sometimes it works...but then it doesn't...I've also tried turning off "Hey Siri", turned off wifi on my phone everything the users suggested but to no avail it never always works consistently like it did before ios 13.1...Yes I have updated it to 13.3 no change...

If you have a iPhone 11 and you found that it’s just a holding connection issue then count yourself lucky because my new iPhone 11 does not recognize my Bluetooth headphones while my iPhone 7 has no issues whatsoever.

No kidding I was so excited to Get the new iPhone 11 because the volume is so much louder than my iPhone 7 and unfortunately it will not recognize my Bluetooth headphones even though my iPad and my iPhone 7 have no issues whatsoever. But it does try to pair with my daughters Apple headphones constantly which drives me nuts when I’m trying to connect to my devices that won’t

i almost forgot about this, recently I tried to airdrop photos to my father-in-law. My 11 pro max took several minutes to find his iPhone X (me holding both phones). I was able to drop to my wife’s 11 immediately.
