iPhone SE bluetooth problems
I recently purchased a new iPhone SE and it’s plagued with problems. One of which is bluetooth which I paired with an external speaker and my car. Unlike my old phone which connected automatically and immediately with these devices, the new phone requires I often go to the bluetooth control panel then select the item. These connections drop frequently (sometimes as quickly as a few seconds). I reconnect and it’s dropped again. “IF” the connection holds, I later try to use the airplay selector from the lock screen to switch back to the iPhone, I find that “iPhone” is already selected, the selector does not work.
Since this is a new device I phoned apple and spoke to someone in support who ran a remote diagnostic on the phone and said it was fine. They told me the problem was the car and speaker because they were too old. (Each are only a few years old.)
This week I purchased a new pair of airpod pro. Paired them with the phone then used them for a phone call. The bluetooth connection dropped in less than 5 minutes. I should point out that in all instances the phone and bluetooth device were never more than a few inches apart. I never had this problem with my previous phone (iPhone 6).
This phone is useless but apple insist there is nothing wrong. Apple Pay, Message & email alerts are not working properly along with other problems. This is the worst apple purchase I have ever made. Please tell me what I might do to solve this. Thank you.
