Since the launch of the iPhone 16e two weeks ago, some users have reported a Bluetooth audio issue. Audio streaming to Bluetooth speakers sometimes stutters or cuts out, with no similar problems noted on other iPhone models. The issue persists even after updating to iOS 18.3.2. It may occur when the iPhone 16e is connected to multiple Bluetooth devices at once. Apple is likely aware of the problem, as some users have contacted support. A fix may be included in a future software update, with iOS 18.4 currently in beta.
