iPhone 16 + Bluetooth LE Audio for Hearing Aids/Cochlear Implant Does the new iPhone 16 support Bluetooth LE Audio? The website only describes "Bluetooth 5.3," but I can't find more information. Bluetooth LE Audio enhances audio performance for hearing aids and cochlear implants and will enable Auracast in the future. Only a few Android mobiles have this feature (which also allows bimodal streaming), but I hope the new iPhone 16 also supports it. Apple is behind in this tech, and I hoped I wouldn't need to switch.

The Bluetooth version is determined by the built-in radio chipset - and is fixed for the life of the device. The Bluetooth radio version cannot be changed or upgraded by way of a firmware update.
