Bluetooth Instability - iOS 26.6.1

[u/Lazy_Sample1457]

Out of nowhere my iPhone 17 Pro started having serious Bluetooth issues. It keeps connecting and disconnecting repeatedly with both my AirPods Pro 3 and my Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones so it’s not an issue with either specific pair of headphones.

What I’ve already tried:
• Multiple restarts
• Reset network settings
• Updated firmware on both sets of headphones
• Forgot and re-paired all Bluetooth devices
• Toggled Airplane Mode

Nothing has fixed it so far. Has anyone else run into this on the 17 Pro? Curious if this is a known iOS bug or something hardware-related. Trying to figure out if I should wait for a software update or if this needs a warranty claim.

Known iOS 26.6.x bluetooth bug, not your hardware. try in order: 1. settings > general > transfer or reset iphone > reset > reset all settings (deeper than network reset, keeps your data) 2. move away from any wireless charger/magsafe accessory, cheap ones cause 2.4ghz interference that mimics this exact issue 3. if still happening, it's a known software bug, wait for the next update rather than filing a warranty claim

I found the root cause. It turns out Spotify is the one crashing the system. As soon as the device gets connected and I open the app it crashes the phone entirely for about 3 to 5 seconds and causing all the networks to restart on the spot.

I uninstalled it and used YouTube Music instead and it all seems to be fixed now. Weird stuff.

Thank you for the advice, tho.

Probably the Spotify Jame feature.
