I just want to cry I am so bloody aggravated, exasperated, and PO'd.
This bluetooth problem has vexed me to no end. I have a iPhone 7 since three years, no issues. Last Oct, I bought the iPhone 11 (regular) and had endless bluetooth issues. I did everything: Talked to Apple and installed a kernel level logging tool at their request, reset the phone many times, tried multiple bluetooth earpieces across two brands, kept updating iOS as new releases dropped every few days -- NOTHING fixed it. Then I returned the phone, went back to my 7.
Fast forward to this week (7 months later): Bought the new iPhone SE and it's deja vu! Can't keep a bluetooth connection! Update to iOS 13.4.1 -- same thing.
What the heck is going on here?!?!
If Apple can't make this work than I'll have to go back to Android -- which I do not want to do! But seriously, this is a deal killer for me.
Apple tech is useless. I get all the same recycled advice. Re-pair the device. Turn BT off/on. Reset network. Hard reset phone (which is a huge PITA, BTW). From all the forum posts I read (hundreds) that cliched advice works 1 out of 87 times.
I'm an IT guy, no less, and a former software developer. I know code is hard. But that's no excuse. Apple engineers need to buy up every BT device on the market (they can afford it!) and appoint a task force to fixing BT in iOS -- then publish a list of BT devices known to work (e.g. don't have their own code issues which, of course, will never be fixed).
Sorry for the rant. But what else can I do at this point?
