Unknown Bluetooth device that I can’t see at all

For a few months now when I look at my Bluetooth settings by swiping from the top right, it says “T1” as if “T1” is connected. Then when I tap Bluetooth settings, it doesn’t show anything connected. Is it possible there is a hidden device connected to my phone? I’m having a hard time wrapping my mind around what could be happening. I’ve reset my network settings multiple times, and I’ve reset my entire phone from scratch. Nothing makes it go away.

iPhone 13, iOS 18

Check if this remains connected even when you walk away to another room with concrete walls or say 100 feet away.

Try the following that may help remove the mysterious device

Settings > General > Transfer & Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
You may have some third-party apps installed especially for Audio, please delete that.
You may have some profiles installed by some nearby Bluetooth accessories.

The usual culprits are LED lights that you control via another app and have forgotten about. In my case I spent ages hunting down something similar and it was my car's handsfree phone.

I’ve reset my network settings, and my entire phone multiple times, and it still won’t go away. And it doesn’t do it when I’m away from my house. Sometimes at home I’ll look and it won’t be there, but then I’ll look later and it will be. Super weird.

It’s just that it shows T1 is connected when I pull the screen down to see my current Bluetooth connection, but then when I tap Bluetooth settings to see what it is, nothing shows connected. It’s weird.
