IPHONE owners are being driven up the wall by a potentially dangerous Bluetooth bug.
Users have been complaining that their calls using Bluetooth while driving mysteriously cut out.

Drivers of various cars have raised the alarm, including Acura, Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Lincoln, Mazda, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota and Volvo.
And some fear it could cause an accident.
Though people should know better than to fiddle about with a phone while driving, one users said: “I use the Bluetooth in my Highlander for a call and about three minutes in the Bluetooth drops, making me find my phone and quickly putting it on speaker (while driving) to finish the call or hang it up.
“This is soooo unsafe and makes me not want to use the phone in the car.
“If we don’t see a fix shortly I’m heading back to Android regardless of the cost to revert back.”
It appears the flaw mostly affects those with an iPhone 12 or iPhone 13.
People had already raised the alarm about it in iOS 15.1 and 15.1.1.

Many hoped the problem would finally be fixed with the recent iOS 15.2 update.
But it seems not – and some even believe that the new software is spreading the issue to more people.
Weirdly, a number of users said iOS 15.2 did resolve connection woes, though they appear to be in the minority.
Apple made no mention of it in the latest software update notes.
The tech giant is yet to even acknowledge such a problem exists.
