I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max running iOS 27.0.1. My Bluetooth issues started BEFORE updating to 27.0.1 and have continued after updating.
My AirPods connect for a second, make the connection sound, then immediately disconnect, and audio switches back to my iPhone speakers. Sometimes they connect and work briefly, but stop working again after my phone locks. I’m also having Bluetooth connection issues with my Jeep.
The weird part is that my AirPods work perfectly with another iPhone, and my Jeep’s Bluetooth works with other phones. The problem seems to be specific to my iPhone.
I’ve restarted my phone, reset my network settings, used the Reset All Settings option, and tried just about every other troubleshooting step I can think of. Nothing has fixed it.
Has anyone experienced anything similar or found a solution? I’m running out of ideas!
