New iPhone SE struggles to find Bluetooth devices. Tried resetting, switching off phone and BT, switching off device, all multiple times. Updated iPhone software. Seriously, there is something going on here. Never had this much trouble with multiple other iPhones and BT devices. Who has a solution? I’ve seen dozens of other posts on this topic. Is this something unique to the SE 2020?
iPhone SE, iOS 13
