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!

I’m up to date on iOS 17.1.2 and still having Bluetooth issues. It’s nearly impossible to use Bluetooth in my car at this point.
I am currently on 17.3.1. Since upgrading to iPhone 15 Pro. I have had an issue with Bluetooth connectivity everything from AirPods to vehicles. I have connected my AirPods Pro 1st gen, second gen, original AirPods, JBL and anchor Bluetooth speakers all with the same result. I tested and I was using AirPods Pro 2nd gen with my iPhone switched to my iPad Pro m1 same headphones and same audio app and the issues stop. This happens with all apps Apple Music Netflix pandora every app that has sounds basically. The issue is intermittent. But it’s like someone hit pause on the sound then it randomly from 5-15 seconds comes back and starts playing. Super annoyed with this
Today is 2-13-24 and I just updated to IOS 17.3.1 and I still have Bluetooth issues. It doesn’t populate the nearby Bluetooth devices, nor does it pair. I have been having trouble in my new chevy 2024 Trax to connect or it disconnects. Now it doesn’t even see my device. Does the same with portable Bluetooth speakers.
Similar issue. I have a 2012 Audi S4 that has has zero problems with bluetooth with the iphone 6, 8, 10, and 13 pro. I have had nothing but problems staying connected since I upgraded to an iphone 15 pro. The bluetooth will drop its connection regularly, including during a call. This is actually creating a frustrating and dangerous situation as I try to get it to reconnect, or just give in and put in my airpods.
Can someone from Apple please advise?
I have reset my network, cleared out all of my bluetooth devices and re-added them (and clear my car's connection) and it still happens on a regular basis. It has been an issue since the upgrade in early Jan.
Started having sporadic Bluetooth issues at the beginning of the week. Today(Friday) none of my Bluetooth devices work at all. including AirPods and my car system. They are connected but nothing is playing or coming out. Thought it was the other devices, am realizing it’s an IOS software issue
Here the same problem with my car with 15PM. Bad calls quality and wifi drop connection after a call
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
Updated to iOS 17.0.3 and I have lost all Bluetooth capability's. Can not find any devices and fails to connect to my Philips hue via the app..Any fix?
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.

Common factor for me:
I know quite a few folks on here have upgraded to 17.3 in the hope that the Bluetooth issues would disappear, but has anyone else noticed MagSafe issues following the 17.3 update? I’ve posted a new thread, but would be nice to know if anyone else is now having to use a cable to charge their phone 🤦🏼♂️

Improve the audio accuracy of third-party Bluetooth devices
You can improve the sound of third-party Bluetooth devices by specifying the Bluetooth device type (such as headphone, speaker, car stereo, and more) on your iPhone.
> Bluetooth, then tap 
next to the name of the device.Could this be the issue? This wasn’t in iOS 16. Although saying this, there isn’t any issues occurring in iOS 17 with iPhone 15 as far as I am aware and also have tested my audio with my wife’s iPhone 15 and she has no such issues. Just the Pro models… Plus can’t change the device type of hearing aids, well Oticon anyway since these are paired in Accessibility rather than in the Bluetooth area.
I have sent logs to Apple as they contacted me and installed diagnostics logs on my iPhone 15 Pro so they should be reviewing these today and hopefully find the issue and fix it.
Issue still persists with iOS 17.3
Meanwhile had outages with these devices:
So it doesn't seem to be dependent on device ... seems to be a clear iPhone 15 Pro issue. Mine is from the first bunch which was shipped at release date.
Funny that. Didn’t work for me either, as I think I and others stated a few weeks back.
Pleased for anyone that’s found a solution of course, but for the rest of us, the default Apple Support responses resolutions of:
make no difference.
Problem is inherent to the iPhone, its hardware, software or firmware.
Mine just cycles between on, off and unavailable. I had a friend check on his iPhone 15 pro max and he had the same issue at Marrickville Metro
