I have good news!!!!!!!!! I did the OS 13.2 update and seems to have corrected the problem. I had several conversation using my Tundra Bluetooth and all worked well some conversations over 20 minutes. Only one dropped call that in my area is normal. I did erase the phone from the truck's Bluetooth set up and reset it as a new devise.

I have the same problem, I got my iphone 11 pro from ATT they say it is an Apple problem. I have a 2017 Tundra my prior I phone was working perfect buy now I can not stay connected for more than two minutes, then it disconnects the audio system reboots and 30 seconds latter come back on, in the mean time the person on the other line has no idea. Once you are back on in a few seconds drops the call.

This is a real safety issue because imagine, you are driving and you get a call from your children,s school the call drops people are going to try to find the phone etc While driving. This phone should have not been release in this condition or give consumers a clear warning of the Bluetooth issues. I can not use it, ATT will not take the phone after 14 days. Basically I,m screwed. Bad Apple Bad

I have been an Apple iphone since day one. Don't feel that good about today

It's not the Bluetooth devices that's the problem - that's 1000% certain. Lookit, I'm having the issue with the Bluetooth connection in 3 different cars with different devices, my Garmin watch, Anker speaker, etc. It's a problem with the phone - not sure if it's hardware related at this point because Apple's previous software updates haven't fixed it, but regardless it's on Apple to make it right one way or another.

Okay, so earlier I said my Plantronics earpiece/headset was not working. Also my Jabra car speaker was working! I just received a Jabra Talk 25 headset/earpiece, and it appears to work! So, it seems that maybe some Bluetooth devices are okay, but others are not, at least not, yet. Jabra listed several iPhone 11 headsets that are supposed to be compatible, which is why I ended up buying the Talk 25.

So, indeed, Apple may need to clean up its software, but in the meantime, there are headsets that work. (Granted, I have only had the headset on for about an hour, but it hasn't dropped, yet. The Plantronics was off and on every few moments...)

Agree, it works in some devises. It hates my Tundra Bluetooth. No improvement there, assure disconnection after about one minute.

I had a Sport headphone not very expensive I recall, purchased in a local electronic store. discontinued model, but works great with the phone. is a JBL Hartman wireless sport , with a neck band headphones so I take that in my car and use it to talk on the car. Very annoying after spending 1K for a phone.

I also had this issue with a Plantronics Explorer 50 headset. Thought maybe the headset was defective as it worked fine with my iPhone 7 and also on my iPhone 11 before iOS 13.1.3 came out. iOS 13.2 did not resolve it. Tested the headset connection on my iPad Pro with iOS 13.2 and it works fine. Dug out a 10 year old Plantronics Voyager Pro and that worked fine. Maybe there are problems with certain devices but it isn't very clear what that is. Other posts have suggested a solution where you 'forget' your BT devices and re-establish pairing as if they are new. It didn't work for me, but it's worth a try.

Hi all I see that your all having a problem with the phone, it's not just the phone for me, it's my iMac all bluetooth keeps dropping out then in then out all the time, this has happened since update to Catalina my wife's 6s my brand new XR both of our AirPods series 1 (mine our brand new ) but the kicker is using bootcamp and windows 10 all works fine.

don't know what's going on but need to fix asap Steve would not have stood for this in the old days

I have a new iphone 11 and just purchased a new bluetooth thinking that there was an issue with my old one. When I'm on a call using me bluetooth it randomly goes to mute. I only us my bluetooth to talk so this is indeed a less than ideal situation. My IOS is up to date in fact the last update may have caused the issue. When will this be fixed?

I just spent the morning at the car dealership because my radio and bluetooth keep rebooting. I was told that they don't have the updates for the IOS 13 on Iphone. After trying all their fixes (unpairing, erasing all personal data from car radio, repairing/leaving off contacts, etc. etc....) still doesn't work. I can't believe that a patch hasn't come through for this yet or that the cars aren't given software updates that are compatible with the new iphones and the latest software. A real disheartening affair. Why have new phone and new car if bluetooth not working.
