iPhone 12 Pro Max Bluetooth Issues

Hello,


I am having Bluetooth connection issues with my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I could not been able to connect my iPhone to my headphones. (Denon AH-GC30). My iPhone does not see my headphones. Below what i did before asking this question.


I checked my headphones with my iPhone 7 plus - It works.

I checked my headphones with my Macbook Pro - It works.

Then i checked Bluetooth versions - both iPhone 12 Pro Max and my Headphones support version 5.


Lastly - i restarted my iPhone, updated to last version of iOS, reset network settings, but Bluetooth of my iPhone Does not see my Headphones.


What is wrong with it? Why such expensive phone, do not see my headphones, but my old iPhone does? Both have the same iOS 14.2.1.


(P.S. - could not select iPhone 12 Pro Max in device field, it does not exists here)

I cannot connect my 12 Pro Max to my cars Bluetooth (hands free calling only). It’s been driving me crazy.

I also have an issue with the echo auto. The phone keeps thinking it’s a pair of headphones instead of a Bluetooth speaker and keeps turning down the volume after a certain period of time.

It’s so annoying and I’ve been back and forth with Apple support and their engineers and they basically told me to contact Amazon—even though it works fine on my XS Max and 6s+.


This is so annoying and needs to be addressed immediately. When I’m driving this is a safety hazard.

I am having the same problem. I used to have an iPhone XR that paired reliably with my Harley Davidson LiveWire. My new iPhone 12 Pro Max is only intermittently able to see the motorcycle and has never paired with it successfully.


Another iPhone 12 (not Max) that I have access to can pair to the motorcycle just fine as can an 8th iPad, so there is definitely something amiss with the Max.


I've tried deleting all Bluetooth devices, I've tried Reset Network Settings, and I've tried Reset All Settings to no avail.

I have found the reason for disconnection issue of My Bose headphones and iPhone 12 Pro max. When my Bose headphones connected simultaneously with 2 devices together at that time I was facing issue of disconnection of headphone with my iPhone. I started connecting my Bose headphones only with one device either Laptop or Mobile. Than it sorted out. No now concerns.

Hope persons facing similar issue after connecting single Bluetooth headphones with 2 devices. They can try to connect only with one device at a time. This will resolve your concern.
