Bluetooth issues on my iPhone 15 Pro Max with iOS 17.0.3

Here the same problem with my car with 15PM. Bad calls quality and wifi drop connection after a call

My iphone 15 Pro running on iOS 17.0.3 lost bluetooth function completely around 3:40PM today while I entered a shopping mall. Went straight to the Apple store in this mall (Chadstone, VIC, AUS) and was advised this is a known issue pending on new bug fixing package all I can do is wait :(

"IOS 17.0.3 Bluetooth Issues Iphone 15 PM: I am having issues with bluetooth dropping the connection in my car and air pods pro since I upgraded my phone to iphone 15 PM and IOS 17.0.3. Any help would be greatly appreciated. this is my main phone and I can't take the chance of having unstable IOS build on it. Any suggestions or better yet can apple just make something that works as it should for $1200 thanks!"

Oh man, I'm so glad to read this. I was super worried that it was something with the hardware. But now that I read this, I'll wait for an update. I was ready to send everything back to Apple and ask for my money back. I mean seriously: €1850 for a phone.

I just tested my iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 Pro in the car and they worked fine. They are running on iOS 17.0.0 though. That’s is also a great confirmation that it’s a software thing. I'm going to try to update the iPhone 12 Pro to iOS 17.0.3 and see if the problem starts occurring on that phone as well.

"IOS 17.0.3 Bluetooth Issues Iphone 15 PM: I’ve done all these things already it’s a bug in IOS 17 just like the battery issue was so I hope a fix comes soon”

You're Not the Only One:

I'm seeing quite a few reports of power issues n relaunch to after installing the iOS 17 updates. Question is: "Just how many people have actually reported it to Apple?"

So, Inform Apple of This:

Do your Part. Give Apple feedback on this. Apple won't get back to you directly, but the more feedback they receive on this, the more they will know what issues are occurring, and what bug fixes to include in updates to come. Apple will know nothing of your issue, if you don'r report it to Apple.

How to Give Feedback:

1. Go Here: Feedback - Apple Music - Apple
2. Select: "Bug Report" for "Feedback Type"
3. Select: "Browse" for "What Apple Music feature is your feedback about?"
4. Comment: that this all started after installing an update. Include the URL of this thread.
5. Proceed from there as necessary

didn't help

I also am losing connection with my cars factory radio/phone (non-CarPlay). Started as soon as I bought the 15 Pro Max. Actually I have been having a lot of issues with this phone. I believe it’s a software issue. Apple isn’t the same company it was 10 years ago. Progressively has been having issues with each and every new iOS release. I think enough with the “carbon neutral” and AppleTv shows and concentrate on putting out better and non-buggy software.

I have the same problem every time I'm near any fu%%^¥ device. Answer and blue tooth Beats Pro are connected then can't answer going to speaker and caller doesn't hear me tho. F all that

I’m having this same issue. It’s very annoying when I’m in the car and right now I’m using my AirPods Max for the first time with my 15 PM, and it’s doing the same thing. Hope it’s just a software thing that can be fixed.

Using same hearing aids on IP 11 for three years without any problems. Not even a small problem. Worked flawlessly. Upgraded to IP 15 Pro and nothing but problems with BT connectivity. Looses connection without warning, acting erratically, sometimes only one side connects. It's not the hearing aids, and not me, I've done everything. Now I'm waiting for a fix............

Exactly the same issue on my 15PM at exactly the same mall (Chadstone, VIC). Only had it occur once before and it resolved itself rather quickly but it seems to refuse to work in Chadstone after numerous restarts! Wonder if it’s something to do with overwhelming Bluetooth traffic at this specific location?

Ok I’m glad I’m not alone! It’s driving me mad. Bluetooth suddenly stopped working 2-3 weeks ago for 15 mins or so, then has happened twice more since then. Happens when my AirPod Pros are connected, or with any other headphones including my Bose earbuds. I’ve raised 3 support cases and the Support team haven't been helpful. I’ve also been in for a genius appointment and no answers. If it is indeed a software issue, I hope Apple fixes it fast. This simply shouldn’t be happening.

It simply disgusts me that Apple ruined the bluetoioth BT Audio Player on my automobile! (Again) on a major number update and new iPhone 15 P M. It is a $1300 phone. My iPhone 7+ did the same thing some years back and they did something on my phone to fix it.

Having iPhone 15 PM issues connecting meaningfully with my bluetooth wireless keyboards.

I say "meaningfully"....because I can pair/connect the keyboard, but I have to hold down a character key for 2 secs at least, to see the character appear in the text box. Not very conducive to fast typing.

Hoping for a fix.

I've already installed 17.0.3, and passed an apple support phone sharing troubleshooting session.
