Original story:

Google and Samsung’s high-end phones aren’t the only ones catching bad press for Bluetooth issues. Turns out Apple’s latest flagship iPhone X is also heading to hit the charts. Sadly, not even two weeks past the launch, Bluetooth has already started troubling iPhone X users with connectivity issues.

Soon after users got their hands over the much awaited iPhone X, many of them started chiming about poor Bluetooth performance. Specifically, those affected have been reporting device’s connectivity issues with other Bluetooth devices like headphones/earpods, Apple watches, and car head-sets.

As can be seen above, users are routing to different help forums – including Apple Community and Reddit – and Twitter to bring out loud different use-cases where the phone doesn’t explore other devices, keeps connecting/pairing, and drops connection in-between.
