iPhone 11 Bluetooth issues

i have multiple Bluetooth devices that will not pair to iPhone 11 pro max with 13.1.2

all devices connect fine with iOS 13 on my iPad. The issue is with the iphone 11. Previous discussion marked solved due to iOS 13.1 however the issues are not resolved after 13.1.2

anyone found a culprit, the iPhone can see the devices but will not pair, all resets, forget, etc. and been unhelpful and a waste of time due to the issue with the iPhone 11.

I have the same problem. But if someone calls me, bluetooth seems to keep call online. Just noticed it tonight.

When car system gives command to the phone via bluetooth, it won't drop out. Have to test this tomorrow and keep call online few minutes and see what happens. This would be helpful for Apple product development, because I think that no-one at Apple don't know what is this all about. I bought this unfinished "beta-phone" last week and paid almost 1400€... Shame... I really have liked Apple products.

Are you saying your iPhone 11 is now working by disabling wi-fi and leaving wifi disabled while on bluetooth? Or saying this step works on a 7S which is not the thread issue....this is an all iPhone 11 issue thread.


No matter, disabling wi-fi to make Bluetooth work is an unacceptable workaround.


I had an iphone 7, and the same Bluetooth devices, multiple earbuds v4.x , my 2016 toyota tundra entertainment, all worked just fine with the iphone 7. and at the latest IOS version ( as I just bought the new iPhone 11). I will note my bluetooth v5.x earpiece had issues on iphone 7 also. Not the v4.x devices. Supposedly the iPhone 11 should work with Bluetooth v5.x.


This for me is exclusively iPhone 11 issue at latest IOS and the thread is aptly name 'iPhone 11 Bluetooth issues'.


None of the fixes/steps mentioned by Apple support have worked, and I have tried them (reset network for example). It is clear as day an iPhone 11 issue.


Glad your 7s is working though I wish same for my 1200 iPhone 11!

My iPhone 11 Pro Max will not pair with my older, 2005 Mercedes, However my iPhone 6 and 10 paired fine. To avoid a $300 distracted driving ticket I have to use my iPhone 6 and am now paying $30 month to have 2 phones, one iPhone 6 especially for my Mercedes. This is dangerous Apple! ..... not having your new phone paired When driving PLEASE fix ASAP shame on you Apple

I am about ready to lose my mind!! I have had the iPhone 11 since they came out. Since my new phone, I have been unable to connect to my factory (Uconnect) radio, in my 2016 Rubicon Jeep. MORE then frustrated at this point!! I have spoken to Uconnect reps, in which I got hung up on!! She told me its an apple update that has to happen before my device will be recognized! Apple is telling me it sounds like a Uconnect issue and my dealership has no idea! They say we'll just have to wait for an update and see!

NOT HAPPY!!

ANY help on this issue would be GREATLY appreciated!!

The truth of the matter is that the iPhone 11Pro Max is the worst iPhone that Apple has ever come out with when it comes to Bluetooth and GPS issues!! I’ve tried all of the useless recommendations of reset this, reset that, turn this off and back on again and so on! Nothing works!! These two issues are all over the Internet! Hey Apple, maybe you should test your old outdated featureless iOS system more before you dump it on the public to beta test it for you!!
