My new Iphone 17 Pro is having all sorts of blue tooth connection issues.

I have disconnected, uninstalled, reconnected, unpaired, re-paired Bluetooth devices to my iPhone 17 Pro.

I have updated to ios 26.0.1 and repeated all those steps again. The Bluetooth connection on this phone still keeps dropping connections or is a really bad connection (hearing aids, big big issue)

Is there a solution? I still have my 15 phone and could revert but that would be a last resort

iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 26

There can be multiple issues from Bluetooth but successful and consistent connections require that both devices are using updated software. I see this every year with hearing aids, blood glucose monitors, CarPlay etc. The device manufacturers need to update their firmware and/or software to maintain compatibility. Is the issue with your GMC resolved?
