Bluetooth connection issues on iPhone 16

I have all the issues with Bluetooth, my airpods, my bose system my car SYNC system...all...is terrible, I already tried twice with network reset and still doesn't work well ;( ...Apple care?

Worst experience I have ever had upgrading my phone. All my accounts, aap and Bluetooth have lost connection. On top of that Bluetooth devices are no longer available

Have tried multiple ideas for getting new iPhone 16 to find Bluetooth devices. No luck! Please help!

It work good for 20 minute on my car, and after that it is impossible to keep connection more than 1 minute without crash connection.

On my AirPods it’s more stable, but I have crash too

My e-bike, I cannot connect at all. It crash immediately then « connect » but no function work. So I think the iPhone is connected but cannot share data with the bike.

I tried to remove all device, reboot, reset network settings, nothing fix my issue ..

Upgraded my iPhone 16 pro max to iOS 18.0.1 but still cannot connect via bluetooth to my Richo GRIII camera and Omron device. They were fine with iPhone 15 pro max and I have tried resetting network settings on iPhone 16. Fortunately CarPlay and the iWatch bluetooth connections seem reliable.

Same here.... I got an iPhone 16 max pro, & this phone won't connect to my 2024 Honda CRV via Bluetooth at ALL! This is SOO FRUSTRATING! Oh & btw, I also have an Oral B io8 brush; not connecting either, yet on my old iPhone 11 Pro Max, both devices connect no problem. APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS SH*T! This is UNACCEPTABLE!!

I was having the exact same issues with my car until I went to the car’s Bluetooth and deleted every other phone that had ever been paired with it. Once I did that and restarted the car and the iPhone 16, the 16 finally paired, finally, after 3 weeks of trying. Before this the car and phone recognized each other but would not pair.

Good afternoon,

I spoke to Apple's assistant in Portugal about the problem. And it has been forwarded to the engineers. Support says that they haven't had many reports and if there are, it's been reported here on the forum that they have no way of checking and escalating the issue. So for a heavenly resolution, it's a good idea to contact Apple support and report the problem as well. That's what I was told. Now I'm waiting. I've done everything and it doesn't work. Thank you

I was excited to try today's IOS 18.2 update with AI. Unfortunately the AI and new IOS don't help my Bluetooth issues. Mind blown that the iPhone 16 can't even do what previous models did.

I have a lot of Bluetooth devices connected to my iPhone 16 Pro Max without any issues. Maybe if you tell us what issues you're having, what you're trying to pair, how you've tried to pair them, someone might be able to help you.

As well as static and fading out all together on iPhone 16 Pro and AirPods 2nd gen while typing a text.

Same issue on my end with my Bluetooth earphones and speakers

problem still persists even after doing what you mentioned

Same for me. Reset didn’t help.

reset network settings doesn't work. All that does is lose all your wifi passwords.

Tried all the tricks above. Still cannot connect to my 2019 Buick with my 16 pro. Please fix, Apple!
