Bluetooth issues on iPhone 14 Pro Max

Bluetooth issues are a very annoying problem on IOS17. Apple does not seem to be able to fix it as they persist then over six months. And frankly it seems that Apple does not care. There are many threads in the internet about it. Many users reported the problems, including myself, but Apple keeps adding new emojis to the frequent updates that are necessary because of all the issues IOS17 has, but they do nothing on the basic problems. Users report that Apple rathers replaces hardware (earpods, smartphones etc.) instead of working on the software issue. So get used to it or buy an Android phone. My guess is that Apple will never fix all the bluetooth issues that are reported.

I have to reboot my phone to connect to a different device (CarPlay to a home speaker, etc). I will lose connectivity after a period as well. Sometimes I can reconnect. Other times I have to restart.

Having the same issues! So frustrating...

was just Bluetooth, tried resetting,

now its Wifi & Bluetooth

Did getting a new iphone fix your issue? I have tried literally everything. I have narrowed headphone disruption down to the iphone iself. I am a civil engineer running my own company, and I take phone calls to discuss development projects all day. ALL DAY long I struggle with communicating with people because of this bluetooth issue. IT IS EMBARRASSING to state "Can you hear me" ALL. DAY. LONG. I am supposed to be a tech savy engineer, and I can't even master the art of phone calls, because of APPPLE BLUETOOTH. Embarrassing.

iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. Bluetooth issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.

Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone Bluetooth functions.

Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.

iOS 17.x.x is a hot mess when it comes to Bluetooth.

I have tried everything that I can find, and nothing fixes this. I called Apple support and the person helping me went off the rails and wanted to focus on my AirPods and Watch disconnecting when I said at the beginning of the call this issue was most common with my car. I have visited the genius bar where they replaced the insides of my phone. This made the problem worse. I'm giving serious consideration to finding an iPhone 14 or lower with iOS 16 and buying it. I would toss my 15 PM in the drawer until they fix this.

I’m having issues with no one being able to head me clearly on any brand of bluetooth headphones.

omg i literally dropped my beats studio buds off at apple for repairs today but was having issues with generics and was worried my phone was busted but it seems to be IOS after looking into this. Gonna be awkward to go in tomorrow and talk to the same dude and let him know its the phone and not the buds lol.

Very frustrating not being able to connect to different devices or having my iPhone 14 Pro Max drop Bluetooth. Can’t run the speaker at the gym I work at - I have apologize to the class, telling them I have an unsupported IPhone
