just upgrade to the iphone 16 pro and bluetooth is stuttering with any devices, and doesn’t want to connect 90% of the time. Carplay, Garnin, Headphones.
I’ve tried turning off bluetooth, hard reset on the phone and still no luck….

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
I found the mentioned solution works: Settings-General-scroll to iPhone and choose Reset Network. The only thing is you have to go to Bluetooth, click on the info icon and choose Forget Device for every bluetooth device. And then you have to go through the process of re-pairing your devices all over again. The amount of time it is minimal compared to the amount of time of satisfaction with having working Bluetooth.

Here’s the troubleshooting steps from your product’s owners manual.
>>It is important to minimize potential Bluetooth interference from some household appliances such as some power sources or other wireless devices:
In general any wireless device that transmits in the 2.4GHz range may disrupt the Bluetooth connection to Sprout 100.
If you are having trouble establishing a solid connection try moving Sprout100 to an isolated area free from any potential interference and test the connection there.<<
Have you tried any of the steps? The there are reports that BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) devices are causing intermittent connection issues.
Im having the same issue with my 16 pro max when its connected to the car stereo it stutters n goes away n then comes back , at first i thought it was the network acting up , but when im connected to my airpods it doesn’t do it , seems the issue is with older bluetooth devices. Apple please fix this issue
I have a iPhone 16Pro which keeps stuttering on using spotify on my SUV stereo. I've tried to disconnect both sides and re-pair, to no luck. I've reset the network on the phone with no luck. I purchased 4 iPhone 16Pros at the same time for the family and when I tried another iPhone 16Pro with spotify, it worked without a glitch therefore it makes me think its my iPhone 16Pro with the bluetooth issue if another identical iPhone 16Pro works without issue....Trying to work with Apple Support and getting nowhere so far.
Not for me. Running the latest OS and it still doesn't work. I actually ended up unpairing my phone from my car because I was tired of endless cycle of messages coming up on my car's screen while driving:
Phone is connected
Phone is disconnected
Phone is connected
Phone is disconnected
The only way I can use my phone hands free in the car is through a WIRED apple CarPlay connection. So I guess I'm happy that that works. Hopefully that will always be an option when I rent a car for travel.
No it didn’t. If it did, then you had a different issue. Resetting your phone does NOT let it connect to Bluetooth.
Apple did change Bluetooth to avoid the interference when multiple devices are in range of each other.
That’s why we’re having this problem. it will not be “fixed”.
Purchase a newer vehicle, a newer stereo, use USB, or listen to your radio.
I’ve done screen sharing, sent pics and video, dealing with this issue.
This is the case.
Apple will not “roll back” iOS to accommodate “some” users.
Genius suggested purchasing a newer vehicle.
Same! My pairing issue was solved the day after I updated to 18.1. Got in my car and the iDrive screen lit up and said I had a new device to pair.
Anyone tried? Does resets the network fix the issue?
You can't have multiple Bluetooth devices paired and functioning at the same time with your iPhone. You need to isolate them individually to determine what may be going.
on ios 18.3, path: settings -> general -> nfc
Latest update fixes this .
Exact same for me works for a while, could be a week or more but then starts to “fail to connect” until i reboot, then starts working again
It work good for 20 minute on my car, and after that it is impossible to keep connection more than 1 minute without crash connection.
On my AirPods it’s more stable, but I have crash too
My e-bike, I cannot connect at all. It crash immediately then « connect » but no function work. So I think the iPhone is connected but cannot share data with the bike.
I tried to remove all device, reboot, reset network settings, nothing fix my issue ..
In my case, the iPhone 16pro has a problem with the Bluetooth connection in the Opel Insignia B car. It seems to connect to the pair, but after a second it disconnects. Apple's solution that works for repair. Maybe you have an idea for this place?
Upgraded my iPhone 16 pro max to iOS 18.0.1 but still cannot connect via bluetooth to my Richo GRIII camera and Omron device. They were fine with iPhone 15 pro max and I have tried resetting network settings on iPhone 16. Fortunately CarPlay and the iWatch bluetooth connections seem reliable.
Experiencing same here. Upgraded to a Pro 16 512GB (non-Max) from a 13 non-Pro. Rarely had issues if ever with BT connections on my 13. Yesterday I was trying to stream some music in my car wirelessly using BT and was getting static and random start/stop. Never was an issue with old phone.
Just now was trying to watch IG reels and YouTube via my Bose QC45 headphones, and gotthe same crap. Again this never happened with my 13.
i am not resetting my network as I do not want to lose all my wifi login info. Apple needs to fix this crap. Running 18.0.1 as well.
