Can iPhone 11 connect to 2 different Bluetooth devices at the same time

My iPhone 11 allowed me to use my Powerbeats Pro to listen to music on my iPhone AND to wear an H10 chest monitor while I workout and use the PolarBeat app to constantly monitor and record my heart rate zone. Both Bluetooth devices. I’ve been TOLD emphatically by multiple people that there is NO WAY IN HE** that this is remotely possible. Essentially, I’m lying 🤥 or just utterly clueless for over 8 months. My personal trainer will testify to the fact that I listen to my music through Powerbeats Pro and use PolarBeat app to read and monitor my heart rate AT THE SAME TIME. So... what are the real facts? Please let me know if you’ve been able to have 2 Bluetooth devices connected at the same time or if you have tried an only failed. I can tell you 100% I am able to and I do use 2 different Bluetooth devices AT THE SAME TIME while I workout. Is my phone just really really special? Thank you!

That’s correct, you are able to have the Powerbeats and AirPods connected and playing at the same time, along with other Apple/Beats headphones with the H1 chip using audio sharing. With any other third party Bluetooth headphones or speakers it’s not possible.

You can have multiple bluetooth devices connected and working at the same time.

I think when people tell you it's not possible they are thinking of bluetooth speakers/headphones. It is true that only one of those can be connected at the same time (you generally can't connect two pairs of headphones/speakers and play music from them at the same).

So your iPhone is working normally, you can have headphones and a health tracker connected at the same time.

Mokiboki,

than you for responding. I was not aware of the speakers Bluetooth limitations. I made it clear every time. that I had a heart monitor and Powerbeats Pro connected at the same time. I suppose they all could have made the speaker assumption and not listened to me. I am also able to have AirPods and Powerbeats Pro connected AND playing the same music at the same time-which I’m also told is NOT possible. I guess my phone isn’t that special at all and it’s been doing that which it HAS always been capable of. But I always knew that, AppleCare doesn’t OR they didn’t actually listen to me. Let me know if your experience is different. Thanks!
