- Some iPhone 16th users are experiencing Bluetooth bugs
- Audio can sometimes stutter or cut, depending on the reports
- We do not know exactly what exactly causes this problem, Apple has not yet answered
Apple’s iPhone 16th is a complete overhaul of the iPhone SE, improving the Apple budget handset in almost all ways. But there is an area where the new device apparently has difficulty for some, which causes useful widespread complaints.
The problem seems to be focused on the Bluetooth audio capacities of the iPhone 16th. Specifically, many users have noticed that the audio of the Bégamentation phone or will cut entirely when they are connected to a Bluetooth speaker or to headphones. According to some reports, the bug appears when you connect the phone to several Bluetooth devices at the same time.
The problem was documented by a number of people on Reddit,, XAnd Apple official support forums. These complaints seem to go back a few weeks, which suggests that they could have been present when the iPhone 16th was launched in mid-February. We asked for comments from Apple and update this story if we hear.
Similar problems do not seem to occur in other devices in the iPhone 16 range in greater numbers, which suggests that the problem could be limited to the last Apple phone.
Unknown cause
When Apple launched the iPhone 16th, it has become the first to come with Apple’s C1 chip, a cellular modem that manages 5G connectivity. But if you think the new chip could have something to do with the problem, it’s probably largely of the brand.
Indeed, the previous rumors said that Apple is working on his own internal Bluetooth chip, but that it is still not ready for production. This means that Bluetooth is always managed by other components, as in other iPhones that are apparently not affected by this bug.
This means that the cause is always a mystery. It is not clear if the problem is linked to iOS (and if so, how), although some users have stated that the update of the last iOS 18.3.2 correction does not solve the problem.
Some users have contacted Apple’s assistance team, so I hope the company is aware and works on a fix. With iOS 18.4 on the horizon, we crossed our fingers, this widely reported bug is quickly crushed.
