iPhone se bluetooth problems 9.3.2

Ive just updated to the latest iOS and now the bluetooth is very bad. I was expecting the latest iOS to fix my original problem which was the call sounding distorted

when the other person was talking to me

They could hear me perfectly

I can't have a conversation on the phone at all now in the car it sounds like the call is continuously cutting in and out ever second

Ive tried rebooting the phone, repairing the phone to the car, and backing up the phone its all been one big waste of time

It has made no difference at all

I can't continue to use the phone i might need to return it back to apple

Hopefully one day they can figure out how to use bluetooth on the SE

I feel as if the passing of Steve Jobs has crippled apples quality, this certainly would not have happened if he was still with us R.I.P.

Im very disappointed

iPhone SE, iOS 9.3.2

Can you please describe the issue with bluetooth connection in more detailed way?

Here you may find basic troubleshooting techniques: Get help connecting a Bluetooth accessory with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Another useful link: If you can't hear a person on a call or voicemail or if the sound isn't clear on your iPhone - Apple Support

You iPhone is covered by warranty so you may take it to the Apple Store anytime if steps mentioned in the articles above do not help. Good luck.

Thank you for your reply

When a person is talking to me there voice is broken the sound is segmented, i can't hear them pronounce a word

This is my 5th iPhone that I've owned and I've never had a problem like this

I have had the 3GS, 4, 5, 6, and now the SE

The previous phones have worked well with my car, no problems

Ive tried this phone in my wife's car and i have the same problem

I have just had this handset swapped over last week to try and fix the bluetooth issue but to no avail

So after all the hype about the new iOS to improve bluetooth and some other things its now made my phone useless to make or receive calls in the car

Yes, much worse for me too.


To be specific, I purchased the 5SE on the day it was released and noticed that the pairing with my Jabra Rox wireless earbuds was less stable than with my previous iPhone 5 - mostly during the first 30 seconds after connecting.


Since upgrading to iOS 9.3.2 yesterday, the Jabra Rox can no longer maintain connection with the iPhone 5SE

I agree, same bluetooth Plantronics Voyager Edge headset worked great with iPhone 4s and 5s. Sound was distorted on iOS 9.3.1 iPhone SE but could still be used. Now it's unrecognizable with Plantronics Voyager Edge and iPhone SE on 9.3.2, voices are so choppy nothing can be heard or spoken. The fix in 9.3.2 has made it worse and unusable. Please fix this ASAP.
