my new iPhone 15 Pro Max won't discover any of my bluetooth devices

I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones that I love. I’ve tried holding down the pair button and following the instructions provided in the chain. It still isn’t connecting… any other ideas of things I can try??

Everyone is having issues with Bluetooth pairing. I see some responses saying “that worked thanks”. What worked? I just bought my IPhone 15 pro and am having problems pairing my devices. Help please

I’m so frustrated. I’ve restarted the phone, done the 17.4 update, turned blue tooth on and off, along with changing the settings in my car and it still won’t connect. I didn’t even need the upgrade to the 15 Pro Max and now I’m regretting it. Listening to music in my car is a must and this phone is a serious let down. Has anyone found a solution? I keep reading “that worked” but I haven’t seen any solutions other than what Apple posted, and everyone on here has also tried those without success.

My iPhone 15 Pro has been working until today. now I cant connect to anything...iPad, MacStdio, Vehicle ...nothing!!! I have rebooted everything. It says the iPad is not in range and the Mac Studio is not supported!!!! iOS 17.4.1

Is anyone at Apple listening?

I’m having the same problem with my 15 pro max, I called apple and do what they said however the issue still persists, I have to unpair and repair my AirPods, car, even my Apple Watch ever time they turn off, or my phone disconnects from them and it’s quite annoying

All of us are wasting our time and getting frustrated because one of the most common iphone bluetooth use cases wasn't tested - setting up a new iphone.

Certainly, it reflects very poorly on the much vaunted quality aspect of iphones.

Apple can say the user experience is important to them but, if that were true, would they have missed testing such an obvious and common use case?

C'mon, Apple, put your money where your mouth is and get this issue resolved so your customers aren't wasting their time dealing with your mistake.

Seems like the advice was simply normal procedure for pairing. I don't think the advice applies to the many people for whom normal procedure is not working.

For me, I got all my apple devices (watch, airbuds) and a couple other things to pair, but many of my bluetooth devices that paired easily with my old phone don't pair now. They simply don't show up in the list of OTHER DEVICES when I put them in pairing mode. Can't "forget" the device since it's not showing up on the list of findable devices. All the restarting and resetting makes no difference.

Don't know if it is a iPhone 15 issue as much as a iOS 17.5.1 issue. I contacted Apple support and they walked me through a whole lot of steps that failed to address it, too, so they gave me an Apple Store appointment as the next step. We'll see.

I am having this exact same issue. Just got iPhone today. The only way to transfer data from my 13 was use iCloud backup. AirPods connected fine, watch was difficult and phone does not see car computer. Very frustrating.

I am having some of the same bluetooth issues with my new iPhone 15 Pro Max. It will not connect to my iPad, will not connect to my Nutale tiles, will not connect with my earbuds. None of the instructions given on here apply, have tried many times to shut down, restart, bluetooth off - then on, etc. also constantly asking me to allow Siri, which I DON'T USE. But it has automatically connected to my regular Tiles and carplay.....

Anyone out there have the answers to fix this issue?

I’m’ve tried this and every other suggestion, but still nothing works. I’m desperate to get it working, not just for me, but because I’m not able to get done for my 82 year old parents either. The phone has been out long enough that there should be a fix for it by now. Completely ridiculous! I didn’t need a new phone, but upgraded because there wasn’t a cost to do so at the time. I’m kicking myself for not just keeping my old one.

Same. Only shows my wife’s Bluetooth devices on shared account

I’m having the same issue. I’m about to go back to android because I can’t connect to anything other than my car.

i bought a iphone 15 pro max 3 days ago. my devices are not pairing. there is blue tooth pairing bug . apple may be able to have some patch in their ios soon hopefully.

Same!

This worked, thanks
