Bluetooth unavailable on iPhone 15 Pro Max

17.2 is now released officially.

I work in Pitt Street Sydney near Martin place . The minute i walk into my building it cuts out an then does the on/off/unavailable toggle

it also cuts out when i pass near Pitt and Bridge street closer to circular quay.

This started happening as soon as i got the phone. I took it to the Genius Bar and they said it was a corrupted restore, so suggested i do a complete refresh, which i did. It has made no difference, Of course when i am in the store it doesn’t happen, but i have a screen video of the toggling.

One of my colleagues who also has an IP15P has the exact same problem.

I am on ios17.2, the problem has happened with 17 and 17.1

Mid system?

the guy in our office has replaced his phone twice and still has the problem (so three phones)

it is clearly a flaw with the phone in very specific positions and I am on 17.2 and still isn’t fixed

Replaced the whole unit.

Exactly the same happens to my iPhone 15 Pro Max everyday! At the moment I'm entering my office building, the bluetooth stops working, AirPod drops off, and iPhone Bluetooth becomes Unavailable. I have to power the phone off 2-3 times to make it work again. Airplane mode, manual switch off bluetooth or mobile, turn off and remove all focus modes, none is helpful. iOS version: 17.0.3

Interesting that I just entered an Apple Store wanted to escalate this issue and the Bluetooth suddenly became unavailable 🤣 definitely it’s a software issue or a compatibility's problem with some wireless/electromagnetic devices in the environment

It happens to me as well after I updated to iOS 17.1.1.

It happens when I was in my gym, but it seems OK in my apartment. So weird.

The Bluetooth disconnected and become unavailable every five seconds, but when I was at home, it was totally fine. I will see if it happens in any other place.

I had this same exact issue on my iPhone 15 Pro Max while flying on Sichuan Airlines from Chengdu to Kunming. Seems to only happen while I was in the air. Never happened before and only on this flight. Got my phone in the U.S. and never seen this issue before.

I’ve had the same issue at Marrickville metro shopping centre. I ended up taking back my 15PM and got a refund. Went back to my 14PM with latest update and haven’t had an issue at all. It was a bummer cause I really want the 15PM ☹️

had the exactly same issue today.

i'm using iphones starting from 4s model and have never seen "bluetooth unavailable" status, so i was just staring on the writing for minutes 🤣🤣

i tried hard restart, didn't help.

and from that moment was just hoping that my location is the reason for this to happen.

after leaving the area , bluetooth started to function normally.

It happens in any other countries, i’ve been traveling a lot and had the same **** problem, turns off depending on location, i assume this have something to do with bluetooth blockers across the big or small cities

I’m also onto my third device - it hasn’t happened in the office this week but it happened when I was in a busy food court…

I’m glad this is being looked into. I might do the same to put urgency. After 3 devices and still getting the same issue, it’s definitely software

I have the same issue on my 15 pro max. Took it to the Genius bar and they made me restore my phone but no luck. It's so annoying and frustrating.

Also not working for me - as soon as I enter the doors of my office building my Bluetooth becomes unavailable and toggles between on/off. Apple told me it was my work VPN - but that's not the case. I disconnected my work VPN, reset my phone and still had issues. As soon as I walk out of the building, the Bluetooth functions normally.
