The recent update to Apple’s Bluetooth software in iOS 17 and 18 has sparked considerable user frustration due to recurring connectivity problems, particularly with the iPhone 15 Pro Max and 16 Pro Max models. Users have reported persistent disconnections and other glitches that Apple took over a year to address. The latest update, 18.3, appears to have compounded the issues instead of rectifying them, leading to user discontent and comparisons to the software update culture of Windows. This behavior is perceived to signal a decline in Apple’s commitment to quality and user satisfaction, reminiscent of the earlier forced installations like the infamous U2 album overreach.
