iPhone 15 pro max bluetooth issue Hi, my iphone 15 pro max is having bluetooth issues from day 1. It keeps working and suddenly it'll lose connection to my applewatch. While it shows it's connected to my watch, in reality the two devices are not talking properly. While the phone is in this state, i cant connect to other bluetooth devices either. it's only after i restart my phone, the connection is back working normally and i can connect to other bluetooth devices. At first i thought it was an issue with my apple watch. So, i reset the watch and paired it again with the phone. but nothing helps. the bluetooth connection on the phone stops working at its whim. I dont know if this is a hardware issue or a software issue. i'm currently running the latest version of iOS.

iPhone Bluetooth connection issue In last few weeks iPhone has many Bluetooth connection issues with ipods, or with car. When I reset my iPhone or reset network settings it will fix just for short time but then it will break again. After reading most of forums out there I was frustrated, but yesterday I had a breakthrough realizing the problem is the watch. Probably latest OS 10 is keeping an open port, and keeps iPhone busy all the time even if closing Bluetooth on watch. solution: power off watch. Reset iPhone to make Bluetooth work. Now it works for days without issue. my iPhone version 17.3.1 watch os - latest (I think 10). I don’t use my watch for few days now, not wearing it.. Apple engineers, can you fix watch issue please?

See this link on how to move an Apple Watch to a new iPhone --> How to pair your Apple Watch with a new iPhone - Apple Support

Also, make sure you have updated your Apple Watch to WatchOS 9.

I had paired the AppleWatch with my phone already, but one morning it was not connecting to my Apple watch. The only solution was to reset the phone. I also have intermittent connection issues connecting to my Airpods and Apple play.
