Bluetooth issues on my iPhone 15 Pro Max with iOS 17.0.3

Clearly you have not been reading all the messages above. A new phone has the exact same problem. I've already replaced multiple new phones. The problem is with the pro and Pro max versions of iPhone 15

Having had issues with static and dropped BT connections, with my week old iPhone 15 pro max. I contacted Apple support today who logged onto my phone, downloaded some logs. Asked me to wait a few mins then came back and said they were going to replace my phone. No explanation, as such that I could hear ( I have hearing aids and the BT connection was playing up! 😊). So get a new phone tomorrow. Personally very sceptical that that will fix it, but you never know!

Fortunately I was within my carrier’s 30 day window to my return my iPhone 15 Pro Max once and for all! Good riddance to this piece of garbage! 😃 Today I restored my iPhone 13 Pro Max and it’s back to everything working fine! 😃 So happy made this decision!

Apple keeps on deleting my msgs because I use certain words, it’s very annoying.

anyways I think the beacon thing is fixed in 17.2, went to chaddie and for once everything was fine. I’ll know for sure when I go to the office next week

I returned my 15 Pro Max and am back to using my old 13 Pro Max. Everything works fine. This was the only solution as nothing Apple Support had me try worked.

Regardless of what some shills on YouTube are saying, the iPhone 15 has been a defect-ridden device. I will probably pass on this and keep using my 13 Pro Max. It has no defects and is perfectly fine. With the iPhone 15 the "latest and greatest", is not so great!

I have today installed iOS 17.2b4 on my iPhone 15PM and so far, through Apple Music, YouTube, phone calls all streamed to my hearing aids and BT Headphones the BT issue seems to have been resolved. I never had any issue with CarPlay. Hopefully will stay this way!

OMG, me too. And this have been one month. Whenever I entered my car, the bluetooth devices will disconnect and connect again back and forth. And then, I headed to the Genius Bar, the staff run the diagnosis in their system end, but showed everything works fine(which is not), and then all they can do is reintall the operating system for me. That's it, and the bug is still there.

This is really frustrating and shouldn’t take this long to fix! It has to be the operating system. As soon as I updated my iPhone 12 Pro Max to iOS 17 (months ago), it began having issues. I wanted to upgrade my phone anyway and as soon as I bought the 15 pro max, it was also having the same issue. FIX IT ALREADY!!

'Been following this thread for weeks.

'Tried everything that's been suggested, including installing (not the Alpha, but...) the B*** iOS. I'd write out the full word, but when I do, my post gets deleted.

I'm now awating my 3rd replacement iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Do I think the BT in that 3rd phone will work? No!

I don't believe it's a software issue. I think it's a hardware issue.

...and they're sure moving mighty slowly to fix it.

I'd suggst everyone reading this should make noise on Social Media about it.

I also upgraded to the iPhone 15 Pro and am running ios 17.1.2. Same issue with the bluetooth connection dropping in my car. I've unpaired and paired my phone twice now and am still having the same problem. Hoping Apple can fix this iOS issue quickly as it's really upsetting.

iPhone 13 Pro here also having issues. Also on 17.2 having audio issues with my AirPods cutting out recently. It has been driving me insane thought it was my AirPods till I discovered I was having connection issues with all things Bluetooth and have since tested using different phones/ipads on different iOS and have not been having any issues with those on different iOS.

This is also happening in iPhone 15Plus. Won’t connect to car’s Bluetooth. All directions make a call for every step and then hangs up and makes another call for next step. Music cuts in and out of Bluetooth. Tried resetting cars and phones Bluetooth. Nothing has worked.

I moved from 15 plus to 15 pro max (silly but switched carriers so I got it for free) and am having terrible bluetooth connections. Car bluetooth is fine. But on both my AirPods Max and and Beats Studio Buds, my music will cut out and reconnect and calls will drop after 5 to 10 minutes. Done all the resets. Hoping we are sent a software update soon.

I am having the same problem with my iPhone 15 Pro (not Max) and my car's head unit (non CarPlay). The dealership has replaced the head unit with all firmware updates - under my car's OEM extended warranty. Bless it and the dealership.

The problem commenced with the new iPhone running all versions of the iOS from 17.0 > 17.2.1

It may be software.

But I am wondering if it is hardware - has there been a bad batch of Bluetooth modules included in manufacture?

I am wondering this because clearly, many of us are having this issue, but not everyone.

Has anyone had any success speaking to Apple about getting their phone swapped over?

I think this is my next trouble shooting step.

I installed IOS 17.2.1, noticed small improvement, still happens sometimes that phone disconnects from car bluetooth. Biggest problem is when I’m using navigation on phone and calls. There is some issue with parallel using both services. I’m using 15 pro
