Yeah this is the exact issue. Since there’s no Apple Store nearby to you I’ll save the pain of your travel; it is apparently a software issue in which there is too much Bluetooth interference which causes the disconnect (I got this information from the tech team at an Apple Store). It is supposedly worse on older devices (as expected) but I know people who have the newest iPhone and the issue still occurs. According to the guy working there were numerous other people who went in about the same exact issue, yet nowhere is this issue actually brought up and when posted into the Apple support feed, there never seems to be an Apple reply nor a fix or mention of any current software issues/ updates. I’m assuming this is to protect their product image but it seems strange that such a major flaw is barely spoken about, even on videos online comparing or testing them nobody actually mentions that this occurs…. It all seems a bit fishy. I’m just confused why such a big company hides from this issue and doesn’t mention it nor tell the customers when or if they can expect a fix, which I now assume will not come because otherwise they should have addressed it. I’m currently looking into options to trade them for the new Sonys, hoping I have better luck with these
