iPhone SE Bluetooth issues

It said only 90 Mb for me.

But I did the update OTA (over the air) on the phone, not through iTunes.

And I had not the beta installed.

I also did OTA on my SE, but looks like Beta build could be the reason that update is 1.4GB. Other users which didn't have Beta installed, could you please report your OTA update size?

Thanks! Hope Apple made BT call quality better between Beta 4 and this release and eliminated popping/interference sound.

Let us know!

this one works too, glad that everybody can enjoy their beautiful SE's with the normal public software.

I've enjoyed mine since b*ta 2, also glad that the doomday scenario with hardware is not true and it's only software as we suspected all along since b*ta 2.

thank you all for an interesting few weeks, and apple shame on U

Mines still kinda buggy after the install, now when my phone rings its changed from the classic iPhone ringtone to Tim Cook laughing in the background, hopefully theyll fix that in 9.3.3 beta

iOS 9.3.2 solved all the BT problems in my car, at last...

SO now there is a 5s problem

Six weeks to fix, not a month. I just downloaded 90MB OTA and the upgrade is underway. I'm assuming this fixes the BT issue. I'm otherwise very happy with this iPhone, and waiting six weeks for the fix was a PITA, but ultimately worth the wait.

The BT bug was actually logged, fixed, and the fix released via Beta 2 three weeks after the SE went on sale, which is not THAT bad. It was other (and new) bugs kept the delaying the GM release until today.

The worst of all this is the lying and denying, the "never heard of this issue before". I can completely understand that a new product may have issues; that can happen to anyone, and is in itself is not a problem. Just own up to it and admit it. Even if there is no easy fix, then just say so and people will understand.

But when you lie about it, and claim you never heard of it, you are taking your customers for fools and disrespect them. Is their CEO Tim Cook or Tim Crook?

That may be technically correct, but for those of us disinclined to be Beta testers — like me — it was six weeks for the public fix. In my case, as I reported I was able to make BT calls in the car with the BT volume on the SE dropped to minimum. I've followed this often-contentious thread for weeks now, and I've been on your side for most of that time.

I sincerely appreciate all of you that did participate in the Beta program and thereby contributed to the public release.

Yes....it's too bad that Apple can't come up with a program to have incremental "emergency" releases to the public other than the Public Beta.....for example, in this case, SE owners wouldn't have had to suffer for so long waiting for their particular BT fix to be released with the general bug fix release.

How many lines of code are there across how many devices? I get it. Apple's model seems to be to finalize the code for all of their devices for one software version at the same time before releasing it publicly. That likely prevents them from doing as you're suggesting. If they did, they would've saved themselves, their employees, and most of all their customers the aggravation and waste of time trying to come up with workarounds and, failing that, returning/exchanging the product (and in some cases multiple times).

It will be interesting to see how Apple spins the sales and "market penetration" of the SE, now that it's finally fully functional.
