Q: iPhone7 Bluetooth issue in the car

I agree, they honestly should have a known bugs, and road-map showing their top priorities...  All I'm saying is that I'm sure they're working on bugs.  Obviously they addressed the phone/call functionality problem with 10.0.3 to actually fix the "iPhone".  They addressed the firmware bug with their supplied adapter and headphones previously which helped open some alternative for connectivity.

I'm not saying that this isn't an issue, I experience it.  But expecting them to respond or acknowledge the problem (especially in a forum) is unlike Apple.  It either gets fixed, or is escalated to a class-action lawsuit like the 'touch diseased iPhone 6 Plus'...

It's two new hardware Radios not found in the previous models.  There's bound to be bugs.  For all we know, they might be waiting for Intel and Qualcomm to assist with the firmware.

I thought so. This goes to the trust issues I am having with how Apple is dealing with us. I am not sure it really wants to address this issue or help us by recognizing our frustrations. I think with all things, trust is very important. I have filed a bug report but not sure if this is going to help. What I have decided is to limit further purchases from Apple until this gets resolved - not like it matters.

Does anyone think it could be a hardware issue?

What category of report? Is this a bug report or a connectivity issue. Maybe I will do both. Thanks for the link.

VentueBeat: The issues are caused, at least in part, by a bug in Apple’s implementation of a Bluetooth 4.2 feature called Packet Length Extension, a source tells VentureBeat.

One reviewer is using the following product to get around the problem.

I have the same exact problem. 2014 Ford Escape (MyFord Touch Sync 2). The song will play just fine for a few minutes and then stops, and then speeds up the music to catch up.

I am hopeful that 10.1 will help most of us. I tried to sign up for the beta 10.1 but never saw the download.  I think 10.1 is coming out on the 27th.

Unfortunately, I'm on 10.1 beta 5 (14B72c) and it's still not fixed.

Thanks. It is a bummer to hear you are still having problems. I am still having problems on 10.0.3. Best of luck to all.
