iPhone 15 Pro Max won't find bluetooth devices I thought it was an issue with just my watch at first, but it's paired with my car exactly 1 time, and won't stay paired, and it won't find most bluetooth devices. Every once in a while it's picking up a random device, but it's never the one I have in pairing mode. This is a real hassle for a brand new phone I just spent a ton of money on.

iPhone 16 Bluetooth only finds Apple Watch 9 My new iPhone 16 connects to my Apple watch 9 automatically. However it doesn’t find any other Bluetooth device that I try to pair with it, like Soundcore earbuds or Lenovo ThinkPlus earbuds. The little asterisk next to OTHER DEVICES on the Settings > Bluetooth screen just spins indefinitely. I’ve tried every suggestion I’ve found via Google, such as reboots. Anybody have a fix? Thanks for advice/fixes..

iPhone Bluetooth connection issue In last few weeks iPhone has many Bluetooth connection issues with ipods, or with car. When I reset my iPhone or reset network settings it will fix just for short time but then it will break again. After reading most of forums out there I was frustrated, but yesterday I had a breakthrough realizing the problem is the watch. Probably latest OS 10 is keeping an open port, and keeps iPhone busy all the time even if closing Bluetooth on watch. solution: power off watch. Reset iPhone to make Bluetooth work. Now it works for days without issue. my iPhone version 17.3.1 watch os - latest (I think 10). I don’t use my watch for few days now, not wearing it.. Apple engineers, can you fix watch issue please?

Who said I was referring to people in this forum? I'm not. My comments are directed towards Apple. That seemed obvious to me but I can see where you might misunderstand.
