Since iOS 17.5.1 update, Bluetooth no longer works and iPhone 11 Pro overheats. 😠

I have an iPhone 14 prom max and my phone has been extremely glitchy when connected to Bluetooth in my car. I had this same problem with a prior update. Once the next update came out it went away but now it’s started again with this new update. It’s definitely frustrating because I have a long drive to work and having my music cut in and out ever couple of minutes (or back to back) makes my drive feel even longer and frustrating. Hopefully they fix this is the next update.

I am also having Bluetooth connection issues, won’t connect to my Jeep Cherokee infotainment system and I have issues connection to other devices but not all. I have a 14 pro max. About a month ago my phone was damaged so Apple support had a new one shipped to me. (Up until this point I did not have any issues.) Since receiving this new iPhone 14 Pro Max, I have had issues with Bluetooth connections. I am so frustrated!!!!! I will be going back to the Apple Store to see if this is a device issue or software issue. I was told by one of the techs at the Apple Store that they have been receiving a lot of phones having various issues with the new updates and they have not been the same issues. Seems there is no rhyme or reason for the issues and there is no specific iPhone beging affected or not affected.

This 17.5.1 has caused all kinds of problems. How can a company like Apple release a product update this flawed? Cellular service no longer connects. New SIM card doesn’t fix. Bought new phone, now Bluetooth will not connect to any device. Been an Apple user for 30 years. Ready to jump ship. Elementary business teaches you to thoroughly test products before release. Sad….

Ios 17.5.1 iphone 15pro max, the problem is with Bluetooth. Bluetooth is not available!!!!! constant discount with headphones!!! Apple, are you going to fix it or not? or should we all switch to android??? only restarting the phone helps!!!!!!!!!!

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.

Remember, the right question often leads to the solution! Please look in the right direction.

iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the 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 iPhone 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.

Same issue Ios 17.5.1 broke Bluetooth driver

iPhone 14 max disconnection every 10 seconds. Congrats apple.

Same on my Iphone 11 Pro. All bluetooth does is constantly search but never actually discovers any devices.

Also my lightning earebuds do not work now. When I plug them in, everything still plays out of the iPhone speaker only.

9th generation iPad user. I have three devices I regularly connect with blue tooth.

Powerpal energy meter,

Fitbit Charge 6

skokz headphones.

up to last night, all devices were visible but not connected.

Powerpal lost connectivity on Fifth June. Have been trying to reconnected I told blue tooth to forget the device. It forgot it completely and still hasn’t found it.

this morning did the same with Fitbit. For the same result.

so, having done all the shutting down of Bluetooth, wifi, cellular connections and powering down the device and turning it back on, I told Bluetooth to forget the headset.

same result. The wheel is spinning and it cannot see any devices at all to connect.

in the meantime, the Bluetooth analysis tool on my motog phone, righ next to the iPad can see eight devices within the vicinity.

interestingly, It can’t see the iPad.

I have an iPad Air 5 and after disconnecting Bluetooth earbuds, the headphone symbol will not disappear, yet, the device is no longer listed in the devices. Other times, the device will not disconnect when it should. Lastly, like others have reported, the device screen is forever seeking for new devices for some unknown reason.

Having same problem with iOS 17.5.1 on iPhone 15 Pro. Even got an express replacement (a whole new phone!) because I thought the device was defective. Brand new iPhone 15 Pro (manufacture date April 2024) having the exact same problems. Embarrassing for Apple. Not upset I have a fresh battery and screen, though :-)

definitely a software bug

My phone started having this issue as well. I spent most of my “phone time” yesterday just trying to connect my headphones. I reset my network settings, i disconnected my headphones and reconnected. When it finally did connect it timed-out after a few mins. and my headphones kept telling me it was trying to pair again.

I just received a call while I was driving and the device switched the audio to my car stereo 🫠

Same for me my bluetooth is working not working disconect and reconnect on my iphone 14 plus.
