Q: iPhone SE Bluetooth issues
-
Apr 30, 2016 3:44 AMby Rob.nl,I purchased my iPhone SE 64Gb Space Grey with iOS 9.3.1 as a replacement for my iPhone 5S. I have exactly the same issue with my 2015 Audi A3 Sportback with MMI-plus. BlueTooth quality is very bad and i can hardly understand the caller. BlueTooth audio streaming is perfect without a glitch.
The problem does not occur on my iPhone 5S running the same iOS 9.3.1 firmware.

It anyone from you a software developer? Be patient, they must find any solution for the problem. It seems that it's not so easy as we think. I know that we all demand working devices and stable operating systems.... I've seen recently a kind of "law" stating that there is no software without a bug. Keeping that in mind, I am not going to return my SE and wait a little while for the fix. It has to work eventually.
There is something in your posts that I cannot just simply get - returning working mobile phone to the apple store only because there are some software-oriented problems with the BT? Maybe our polish mentality is slightly different that in other nationalities.... I'd wait for the solution.

The only problem with that plan harkens back to the iPhone 4's antenna problem. Many waited for the "software fix" that never came. The "fix" was in the next version of the iPhone: the 4s.
Yep, exact same situation, with 2 tiny differences: 1) that was a hardware design issue with no fix possible, 2) ANYONE can get the latest update for themselves to see if BT works for them in their particular application:

Apr 30, 2016 7:17 AMby mreg376,Haha. Yes, like this forum is going to affect Apple's stock...
The only angry ones here are those like you, who seem to have a vested interest in telling everyone that they know more about this problem than Apple. I'd rather wait and see. I like the SE and I'll be happy to rebuy it when it works as its supposed to. And that's all I've been saying. If that makes all of the "experts" around here angry, then so be it.

I will probably re order in June when hopefully problem fixed but if replacement has same issue with BT I will not hesitate to return for a full refund. I'm keeping my fingers that as I log onto this site with my Apple ID someone from the company is monitoring these posts.

You're quite the detective. Most have been removed, but there's one on the previous page.
There's obviously a hardware issue with the SE bluetooth. That's the only reason that the same iOS version creates the problem on the SE and not on other models. The only question is whether a software fix can overcome the obvious hardware anomaly. Since beta 3 of 9.3.2 reintroduced the problem, apparently the beta 2 fix, if it ever existed, was an accident, which highlights the problem of relying on betas as a functioning operating system.
Oh, here's another one of yours claiming a "hardware issue"......which to those of us with fixed SEs couldn't be any farther from the truth, as the rest of the world will soon see.....tick tock!
