Don'y cherry pick evidence. In total the numerous links demonstrate a long standing myriad of BT connectivity in iOS 8.x with many kinds of devices, not just BMW cars. For example, this article (http://www.autoconnectedcar.com/2015/03/why-ios-8-2-doesnt-fix-all-bluetooth-iss ues-for-car-owners-more-carplay-coming/) mentions that iOS has had a well-known, long-standing BT problem and goes onto say "We have comments from readers that there are still [iOS] Bluetooth problems reported with BMW, Audi, Acura, MINI, GM(Chevy, GMC, Cadillac, Buick), Honda, Kia, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Mazda, Lexus, Fiat, Hyundai, Chrysler, Acura, Mazda and more."
So again, just because your BMW X3 works fine with your iPhone 6 and Apple Watch, doesn't mean that Apple didn't write a bug into the thousands of lines of code in their bluetooth application of the iPhone and Apple Watch. If iPhone users are having BT problems with "BMW, Audi, Acura, MINI, GM(Chevy, GMC, Cadillac, Buick), Honda, Kia, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Mazda, Lexus, Fiat, Hyundai, Chrysler, Acura, Mazda and more" -- Apple should get spend more time talking to users who report problems and less time trolling them.
And as for reporting to Apple, of course I reported it to them via their web reporting form. And maybe they'll follow up on it (but as a current Apple beta tester, my experience says they won't). But from your incessant attempts to dismiss my (and others' reporting here in the forums which we all know Apple reads) it would appear Apple is paying you to troll the forums in a pathetic attempt to dismiss user reports. The problem is that you're attempting to place blame anywhere but on Apple, without any evidence upon which to make such claims. Therefore they are not persuasive.
As for you pairing your phone with my car, that's pretty laughable. But what would be great is if someone from Apple (not you, but a real no kidding iOS engineer) called me, and/or others who've tried to report these issues in the forums (before peeps like you earned a paycheck trying to dismiss our reports as baseless) to replicate/fix the issue. But it's pretty obvious that Apple has instead decided to "deny, deny, deny" these BT issues and try to shift blame on auto (and apparently other hardware device) manufacturers. It's a pretty common tactic by corporations more interested in boosting the next quarter's profit margin than on providing the best quality products to their customers. It's also what cost Microsoft its limitless profitability and dominant position in PC operating systems.
So let's stop with your personal car anecdotes and focus instead on the countless examples of other people having issues with IOS BT connectivity with MANY kinds of BT devices (cars, mice, keyboards, etc). Bottom line: Apple devices are not playing well with a myriad of them (unless you think everyone is just lying), and if it were just one or two devices, well that wouldn't indicate a problem at Apple's end, but problems with over 20 auto manufacturers (and numerous other device manufacturers) it's safe to say the APPLE IS THE COMMON DENOMINATOR. This doesn't mean Apple products are not great, I own so many different kinds of Apple products because they are great. But just because Apple does a great job on their products does not mean they didn't make a mistake in their BT code, any more than the fact that your iPhone works great with your BMW or two other BMWs means that Apple didn't make a mistake in their BT code. Anecdotal evidence is simply not persuasive. Empirical evidence is, and while we are far from having an air tight empirical case that Apple made an error in their coding, the sheer number of complaints with Apple as the common denominator makes it worth Apple's time to investigate.
