Q: iPhone SE Bluetooth issues
-
Apr 23, 2016 7:43 AMby MotleyDiver,my disappointment here is the hiding. Apple has made no official acknowledgement whatsoever. I'm loyal. If they came out and said we know of an issue, are working it, give a timeline, or offer to waive some costs, that'd be great. But the hiding is only making it worse.

Wrong, on both counts. The beta fixed the BT issue for me, AND it was free to register as a developer to get the beta.

Apr 23, 2016 8:20 AMby MotleyDiver,Seems to be some confusion by some un-informed people here trying to help. I've included the link. Being a developer costs $99 a year. Where some are confused is simply getting this beta to test before others. That doesn't make you a developer. It is true, as I said before, I "Think" that is why it was removed. Most people were not having success. Just like some are having success with other fixes without the beta.

Apr 23, 2016 8:35 AMby dcpmark,And here is the link to download public betas FOR FREE. Why don't you try it for yourself before posting your opinions about what works and what doesn't work?

Apr 23, 2016 8:49 AMby MoreAppleJuice,I've returned my iPhone SE but might get a new if IOS 9.3.2 really solves the bluetooth issues properly.
So it would be great if more that has experienced these SE-problems would try the IOS 9.3.2 beta from https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/
PS. From https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/faq
Do I have to pay a fee to join the program or pay for software?
No. Both the program and software are free.

Thanks. Give me a few minutes to find the part where it says being a Developer is free. This is just to download betas, not be a developer. I'll get back to you. :-)
You are again confused. I actually signed up as a "developer" for free by using my Apple ID at the link below. I now have a Developer account, and so can you. Just click the Account tab, and enter your Apple ID and password. Then, go to "News and Updates" to get the latest betas for everything Apple has released. Again, give it a try first for yourself:

Apr 23, 2016 9:34 AMby 2ndHalfCor,I returned the two SEs I bought for myself and my wife because I didn't want to go past the buyer's remorse date without a fix. If Apple had announced they would have a software fix soon I would have kept them. I love the size and power. Not sure I'll come back if it is fixed. This whole experience has left a bad taste in my mouth.

Forget it, apparently you can't tell anyone if it worked or not..
Is the public beta software confidential?
Yes, the public beta software is Apple confidential information. Don’t install the public beta software on any systems you don't directly control or that you share with others. Don’t blog, post screen shots, tweet, or publicly post information about the public beta software, and don't discuss the public beta software with or demonstrate it to others who are not in the Apple Beta Software Program. If Apple has publicly disclosed technical information about the public beta software, it is no longer considered confidential.
