iphone 15 with iOS 17.4 now has a problem staying connected with bluetooth devices

I recently upgraded my iphone from an 11 to a 15. I updated both phones to iOS 17.4 before transferring my data from the old phone to the new one.


I use three bluetooth devices daily:


2015 Toyota Prius stereo

JBL Flip 5 Speaker

Raycon Everyday Earbuds


All three used to connect flawlessly with my iphone 11. Now they are all a pain in the rear, especially my car.

Does not discover my phone when I start the car. I wiped all the previous phones from it's registered devices and started fresh. The car indicates that my phone is registered, but I have to go back and forth between the car dash controls and the phone 2 or 3 times before it finally connects EVERY TIME I start the car. Maddening.

When I used to turn these on, they would automatically connect with my former phone. Now I have to tell my phone to connect to them manually. Not a big deal, but an annoying unnecessary step. The phone features both devices in my bluetooth list.


I'm really hoping Apple can fix these connectivity issues.

iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. Bluetooth sync issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the Bluetooth functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.
