Bluetooth audio stuttering issues on my iPhone 16e

Android phones don't have the same issue. I just barely switched and iPhone feels like an expensive downgrade compared to what I had previously with android. Wish I would've looked into the reviews of common issues before hand. Might just trade it in for an android and stay with them as Apple doesn't seem as decent as Android.

It is so annoying. Frankly Apple charges way to much for these phones. You'd think that with the price they'd actually have things down and be responsive for a supposed "tech giant". They've lost their "why" that Simon Sinek describes in his Ted Talk and book. Profits aren't a why...its a result.

I'll do my due diligence and reach out to their support. This is embarissing considering my Google Pixel didn't have the same issues that this phone has and it's way cheaper than Apple. Considering this can someone explain to me why apple is better as compared to it's competitors?

same thing happens to me with my first gen airpods, JBL Tune 230NC TWS, and Onemore Sonoflow over ear headphones. Not to mention it'll just disconnect from car bluetooth which is a ford sync 2 based system. This is annoying, I switched from iphone XR to upgrade not downgrade. the disconnecting and stuttering actually got worse when I updated to newest IOS today. Y'all wanna sell something for more money than economy models have gone for in the past then sell something worth it! I do not care about apple intelligence at all, I care about everyday usage and everyday I have to deal with this crap. Probably would've been better off buying an android device.

Interesting. I just tried searching for "iPhone 16e bluetooth stuttering" on Search - Apple Community, and nothing appears, not even this thread. Has this thread been hidden?

just upgraded and I have the same issue, no problems with my 12.

Same here. Lost 2.5 hrs with the tech. and going through his diagnostics even with apple care plus+

hope they at least offer compensation to my time spent supporting them with the issue and logs

Same problem. Did everything apple told me to do including factory reset at least 5 times. Had the phone replaced with another 16e and still the same issue.

Stutters when carrying a airtag in another pocket.

Do we know if the AirPod stuttering is consistent on both the Black and White 16e models? I have the Black model and it absolutely stutters. Everyone please chime in

I had the white one and the same problem

turns out I had things sorted by rank, instead of date, so had confusion where my detailed post went

Who will just pass you from one advisor to another. Pathetic support i have got till now rude and disappointing

Bluetooth interference can potentially cause connectivity issues due to the disruption of the wireless communication between devices. Bluetooth operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency range, which is also used by various other devices such as Wi-Fi routers, microwaves, cordless phones, and even some baby monitors. When multiple devices are operating nearby and using the same frequency band, interference can occur.

Not in my case. It happens with youtube, with spotify, with any sound coming from the phone by bluetooth.

And it doesn't matter if there is another bluetooth connection to, for example, an Apple Watch or not, the problem is still the same, and it's not an headphones problem because on the iPhone 13 Pro they work flawlessly even with other 6 bluetooth connections active (for apple stuff and iot devices)

Same here, dropouts with new airpods 4 and my old beats, and little glitches with my old airpods all on new 16e. No issues with the same headphones on my mac. No issue with the beats or old airpods on my old phone.
