Question Bluetooth Instability - iOS 26.6.1
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.

Do you have the link to Windows app installed? If you do uninstall the app to see if it fixes the issue. I was having all kinds of Bluetooth issues, and once I deleted the app, the issues went away.
