iOS 18 Bluetooth Connection problems

Is anyone experiencing Bluetooth problems like me? After some time, connected devices like Apple Watch disconnects and connects every minute, and new devices that should connect like CarPlay don't even connect. I got this also during beta and tried disconnects and repair, network settings reset and reinstalling from iCloud Backup. Nothing worked, only doing a hard reboot. Then it works for half a day until the bug strikes again. Very annoying....

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18

I updated and suddenly all my air buds and speakers are skipping like connection issues. Just walking on the street my music has started to break up.

I’m having the same issue. My car Bluetooth cuts in and out when my phone is on resting mode. So annoying.

Ugh I am having. The same issues since I switched to iPhone 16. Nothing I have done has resolve the issue. It is annoying because I do a lot of traveling and I wish they would just fix it.

Power off and on helps for some hours. Still not fixed. VERY annoying. Tried a network reset and also removed all devices and reconnected all of them. Nothing helps permanently.

OMG, it’s taken me days to find this thread! I knew this latest update was the cause of my Bluetooth issue. How can we report it to apple to fix? It is so frustrating!
