Whether you’re using it to make calls, listen to music or your favourite podcast; having your Bluetooth work optimally is essential. Unfortunately, Bluetooth is not infallible and you may find your iPhone is having issues connecting to it completely. Most newer iPhone models no longer have the headphone jack and, therefore, many iPhone users rely on Bluetooth headphones to communicate or listen on their device.
