Bluetooth not working on IPhone XS

I’m having this problem too! Just got the new iPhone xs yesterday and imagine my disappointment when Bluetooth doesn’t work. I’m on the verge of smashing the stupid phone to bits and returning to my iPhone 7!

My Xs does not connect to my car either. I’ve spoken to Apple multiple times and their reaction is like a deer in headlights. They think it’s probably my car. Nope. I’ve restored to factory settings, reset network settings, unpaired, repaired, even replaced my SIM card which should have absolutely nothing to do with Bluetooth. etc. There’s nothing else I can do that I know of. It’s so frustrating because my iPhone 7 worked perfectly. Come on Apple.

This isn’t an iOS issue. I had an iPhone 6s with the newest update and it synced perfectly with ALL of my devices. This is a software issue on the iPhone XS. If it doesn’t get fixed within my month trial I’m returning it for a droid. This is rediculous!

what can i do? i bought the iphone xs max in the US and i live i Chile, yes we have premium reseller with service area but they don’t accept my model ( a1921) , i don’t understand why apple cannot replace my phone , is to much expensive for the company? i don’t think so. The only solution apple gave me was to travel back to US... unbelievable...

That's precisely it; Apple devices are designed for the country in which they are sold (and the networks there.)

Apple warranties are also only good in the country in which they were purchased, and the same is true for most other companies as well.

For example, if you purchase most any camera in Europe, you cannot get warranty work done in the US, you have to send it back to Europe.

I’m having the same issue.. I can’t connect Bluetooth to car or speakers and I’ve just bought AirPods.. I’ve not tried that yet.. so frustrating.. what do I do now.. phone is only a few month old and I’ve just not had the time to chase this up!

Make sure you delete any pairings involving your Xs from the Hyundai and the Hyundai from the Xs. This should work, in theory, as my XS Max has worked in every Hyundai rental car I've had, but I don't know the age of yours.

You may also want to check with your Hyundai dealer to see if there is a firmware update available for your head end, as all of my rental vehicles were 2017 or newer.

I love the canned responses to issues with bluetooth. Let me tell you I had an iPhone 6s without any bluetooth issues, then got the Xs and nothing but headaches ; at least with my Bose Soundlink Mini . It connects I hear the music, then it randomly disconnects in which I can't get it to work again. The iPhone even says it's connected to the Bose but no sound comes out. I then have to go through the whole 'forget device' and repair it - rigamaroar. Now, I challenge any Apple engineer to repair every time you want to use your device and let me know how long it takes for you to want to throw your iPhone out the window ?

Same problem here! Is anyone find a solution yet? My iphone Xs Max (iOS 12.1.3) couldn't connnect with Honda civic coupe 2013 by bluetooth, please let me know if there is a solution.

Have you contacted Honda to see whether there are any HondaLink firmware updates that are applicable?

New XS Max drops my audio when using Bluetooth in 2016 Audi. Apple store ran diagnosis, cleared all from phone and reset.

It seemed to work the first few days but eventually noticed calls dropping again. In my case, the person on the other end can not hear me but I can hear them clearly.

Same got the new 10xs Max 256 and it won’t pair correctly with my car speakers. The songs sound like a wounded animal. It plays the songs at a super slow speed. Not funny Apple. Did not have any issue with my old 6. It pairs to use hands free for phone calls. But just can’t do music. What is the point of having this great 1300 dollar phone if I can’t listen to my music? Beyond disappointed. Too bad I traded in my old 6.

Any relation to the following thread which describes the issue I am currently having connecting to the bluetooth in my car’s stereo?

I have powered cycled the phone as well as my Bluetooth devices. This phone will not connect to my micro cell either.

I'm having the same issue...ugh!! Need to get this working in my car. So what's the fix?

Not really some problems are not resolved at least in public beta 12.1...
