Bluetooth problems on iPhone 12 Mini

I am having a problem with the Bluetooth on my iPhone 12 mini. There is music playing in Bluetooth headphones and then the music pauses randomly for a few seconds then starts again further ahead in the song. The problem isn’t the headphones because I have tried three different pairs. Does anyone know how to fix this?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15

Hi there caedmon65,

We'd like to help get your Bluetooth headphones working right with your iPhone. Let's start with ruling out some basics:

From your post, we see that iOS 15 is installed, but is iOS 15.0.1 the version showing in Settings > General > About? Just in case, here's a link that'll show how to first back up, then Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Has a restart been tried since this began to occur? If not, this link shows how to Restart your iPad.
Any issues if you use a different Bluetooth device(like a speaker), or even just using the built-in speaker?

Take care!

Hey caedmon65,

Based on the details you provided, along with the steps tried, we recommend getting in touch with Apple Support to continue troubleshooting this: Get Support

Just let them know what's been tried and confirmed, and they'll go with you from there.

Hello caedmon65,

Let's continue ruling out some other possible causes:

Have you already tried toggling Bluetooth off/on in Settings?
What about testing a Bluetooth device, but in another location?
If you have a case on your iPhone, please remove it, then test for the same issue.

Have a good one!

I have installed iOS 15.0.1. I have this issue with any Bluetooth audio device, but not the built in speakers. I have tried restarting my iPhone and nothing worked.

I have tried all of these with the same result. Removing the case makes it happen slightly less frequently, but not a lot.
