Bluetooth connection issues on iPhone 16 Pro

Nope. In my case, there is same problem continued. I chose a new iPhone setting rather than a backup.

Bluetooth issues are continuing.

I reset the factory twice and the problem is not solved. (24/12/03)

I have the same issue ! I spend so much money on this 16 pro max 1TB and spent 2 weeks talking to apple support as well as I did a device firmware update and still the issue persists. They estimated from the remote diagnostics that it weren’t a hardware problem. So basically I don’t know what else I should do?

Same issue here. Just went from 13 Pro to 16 Pro. New 16 Pro is dropping Bluetooth connection when I walk 15 feet away from my Bluetooth speakers. 13 Pro would keep connection when I was outside of house.

Im concerned this is a hardware issue and Apple won’t be able to fix it.

I just upgraded to the 16 Pro from the 11 on 12/4 and I’ve done all of the recommended steps and have yet to have ANY device be able to connect to Bluetooth. My 11 might’ve been slower but at least it worked. I really regret getting this phone.

i hope both sides of your pillow is cold at night, every traffic light you get to is green, and just all the best things in life. i couldn’t figure out why mine wouldn’t connect or attempt to connect to ANYTHING and this fixed it

I was excited to try today's IOS 18.2 update with AI. Unfortunately the AI and new IOS don't help my Bluetooth issues. Mind blown that the iPhone 16 can't even do what previous models did.

I have a lot of Bluetooth devices connected to my iPhone 16 Pro Max without any issues. Maybe if you tell us what issues you're having, what you're trying to pair, how you've tried to pair them, someone might be able to help you.

One example that won't stay connected is the Dual model XGPS160 SkyPro GPS. It connects for only 10 seconds from the Bluetooth settings, then disconnects. None of the previous iPhone models had any problem whatsoever.

Cannot pair M2 with iphone 16. iPhone sees M2, but M2 does not see iPhone. They both see all other devices nearby. So, it seems iPhone 16 does not send out proper signals so it can be seen and paired. Updated to IOS 18.2 and macOS 15.2 with no success.

The device works perfectly with my iPhone 15 and an Android device.

I normally don't need to spend time troubleshooting iPhone's Bluetooth, but have previous year's new iPhone releases generated 12+ pages of forum Bluetooth issues as people try to use their new phones?

Is the iPhone 15 running the same iOS version as the 16?

Bluetooth connects to my SkyPro GPS device with no problem on an iPhone 15 running IOS 18.2, just not on iPhone 16 Pro.

The iPhone 16 does connect to airPods without a problem, so it's not the phone hardware.

The device (Anker Soundbuds Curve) works perfectly with everything else I can find - my old iPhone, my wife's phone, my kids' phones, my MacBook.

I doubt there's something magically wrong with the earphones that doesn't affect anything else except for connecting with this new iphone 16 that hundreds of other people are also having problems connecting with.

Thank you so much for sharing! After weeks of searching and trying things and testing my whole phone and losing everything, I tried this and it worked! I just followed my devices instructions and was able to connect. Hoping I can get my vehicle to connect as well.

I cannot connect to my Marshall Middleton speaker. Actually, the iPhone bluetooth says it's connected, and the Marshall app can see my iPhone, but the music continues to play through the iPhone's speakers, while the Marshall app says "no media".

So following all the forget and re-connect options, still nothing.

Apparently, we are once again Beta for immature Apple equipment and/or software.

Disappointing!

PS. My wireless Apple CarPlay is quirky as well, so I am going to resort to a hard connection in the car.

Same problem here. iPhone 15 Pro Max.

bluetooth disconnects all the time from CarPlay and AirPods Pro. This is insane!!

costs me hours per week; I spend thousands of euros on this Apple ****!!

please solve this issue asap !!
