Bluetooth issues on my iPhone 15 Pro Max with iOS 17.0.3

I have updated my iPhone 15 Pro Max IOS version to 17.1.2 still Bluetooth connection in my car is getting dropped frequently. It’s so irritating and frustrating after spending that much money. Apple should do something to retain the customer trust.

I have the same problem with my iPhone 15 Pro Max except that the streaming between my phone apps (Sirius XM, a radio station, and Apple Classical) and my HomePods cuts out persistently. VERY frustrating. I have powered the phone off and on. I have re-paired the pods. Nothing helps.

i completely agree with you about Apple’s credibility. I called them 2-4 times. They are telling that you need to talk to your car production company as Apples doesn’t test all devices. Then I told them that other companies why should test their product of every release of Apple for basic Bluetooth connectivity. It’s their proud which will take down soon.. definitely it’s the last iPhone I will be using if Apple performs in similar way…

Just saw that 17.2.1 was released. This is a rapid security release though currently with no release notes available. Doesn't look like it will help with the bluetooth issue. Crazy to think that all these posts and still no resolution. I actually had a ticket opened for my beats headphones and said I wasn't going to ship them back because I found this forum with others having the exact same issue. I got zero response back from support. Which coming from a support background leads me to believe they know they have the issue but don't currently have a fix.

No it didn’t fix. Regardless what you do, reboot, reconnect or set up phone as a new using iTunes . Issue with Bluetooth , disconnecting on a calls , multiple headphone brands tried, car Bluetooth system, makes no different . You can be on a call for 5 min or 30min it will disconnect . It’s absolutely ridiculous for the price you pay.

Same problem also with iOS 17.2.1 frequent disconnections with the AirPods, distorted audio, and the problem becomes greater when you move away from the phone. I really hope it's a software problem and not a hardware

I have the same exact situation. iPhone 12 ProMax started having issues with Bluetooth and Ford Sync. It will connect, but while listening to the radio, the phone randomly tries to make calls that have to be disconnected. The easiest way is to press privacy. We are in a rural area, and it seems to happen more by certain cell towers. I bought 15 ProMax, updated Ford Sync software, which does the same thing. I haven't unpaired and repaired it since the software update, so I will try that next.

I'm having the same issues since updating to iPadOS 17.2. I was on the last version of 16 before that. I'm not using Apple headphones. They are older Philips I never had issues with. It's the same issue every time. I turn on headphone, it connects, and then it quickly disconnects and turns off the headphone. I also get weird sounds from the right channel. I've tried everything.

I'm having this issue, I have the latest version of iOS (17.2.1) is installed on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. When connecting to my car's Bluetooth (BMW E92) the connection drops mid way through any calls normally within the first minute or so. I never had this issue with my iPhone 12 pro conncted to the same car. Are Apple actually doing anything about this hardware/software bug... I will be returning my phone to Costco if this does not get fixed soon. Not good when spending c.£1200 on a phone.

Today was the worst with the Bluetooth connection in my car it continuously disconnected and didn’t switch back to Bluetooth like it normally does. I had to keep manually switching it back. 😡 I really can’t stand this phone to this point. It’s so annoying.

I just upgraded to the iPhone 15 Pro Max yesterday and my Bluetooth drops connections to devices, my Oura Ring and iPod pros, and also can’t find new connections when I’m trying to connect things like my Bose headphones which I can’t use at all now. Haven’t tried other devices yet but so far pretty frustrating!

Upgraded to iPhone 15 Pro from regular I phone 13. I have been having the same issues since upgrading.

i contacted Apple support was a waste of time 🤦‍♂️

I wonder have Apple changed the BT hardware in these phones and maybe that’s a defect 🤷‍♂️

Exactly what everyone says about Bluetooth connectivity issues for iPhone 15PM, updates are all up to date, geniuses at Apple Store think that there is nothing wrong as usual they are useless people who never solve any issues with iPhones.

What is it going to take for Apple to begin solving Bluetooth issues along with other problems?

The problems I'm having relate to maintaining a stable bluetooth connection between apps (SiriusXM, radio stations) on my phone and my Homepods. I will include also the phone speaker cutting out during calls, which started at the same time as the breaking up of bluetooth connections. I thought it was a problem with my speaker, but it has to do with the bluetooth software.

By the way, both times I tried the link to file a bug report, all I saw was an empty white page.

Well tried talking with Apple support. Was told that they are having no issues with the blue tooth so it is something I have done. So much for acknowledging the problem. Representative even was like I have a 15 and no issues with bluetooth. Funny my other iPhone that has been updated also is having issues with blue tooth and prior to the new iOS update 17 it had no issues. IPhone 13pm. Also had a horrible attitude. Out right called me a liar. But hey thinking the last time I spend $2k on another iPhone. At least with a Samsung I know what issues I get for less. And their watches are cheaper too lol.

I truly am disappointed in how Apple has handled this reported issue. Over 1300 people in this group alone are having the same issue, but according to the rep we are all lying.
