My iPhone Bluetooth will not connect to my 3M work tunes ear protection. I used the earphones with my old iPhone when I upgradded to a new iPhone 16 Pro it will no longer connect.
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 26
What happens when you try to pair them? Have you put the device into pairing mode according to the manufacturer's directions?
Also, though it's not as common as it used to be, some devices have a limit on the number of pairings they support. If that's the case, resetting them according to the manufacturer's instructions should resolve that.
I have no information that Apple made any substantive changes in BT for iOS 26. However, tt's up to the manufacturer/developer to keep their devices and software updated.
Have you actually contacted the manufacturer/developer? That's what I would do.
The ear phones/protection were recognized by my iPad, iPhone and Mac till I purchased a new iPhone 16 Pro last week. The new phone would not recognize the ear phones. I tried several iterations of the 3M (manufacturer) recommended methods to connect the iPhone to the ear phones/ear protection to. bluetooth on the phone. It did not work. I disconnected the ear phones/protection from my iPad and Mac, turned off the blue tooth, turned it back on, and tried to reconnect the ear phones/protection to my iPhone, iPad Mac. Neither would recognize it.
I have also scoured the vendors site for data on problems connecting to no avail. I have found nothing helpul on the apple nelp pages. I am wondering if iOS 26 bluetooth has a problem with this particular product in making a connection? Reason the ear phones/protection was connected to my devices for two years before I got the new phone and had a problem connecting. and reconnecting when i removed the connection from my bluetooth.
