If your Bose speaker is not connecting to your iPhone, there might be a few reasons behind it. Firstly, make sure that your iPhone’s Bluetooth is turned on, and the speaker is also in pairing mode. To access pairing mode on Bose speakers, you need to hold down the Bluetooth button for three seconds. If it’s still not working, try going to your iPhone’s Bluetooth settings and forget the Bose speaker device, then try pairing it again.
Another possible solution is to reset both your iPhone and the Bose speaker. To reset your iPhone, you need to hold the power button and the volume-down button simultaneously for around 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears. On the other hand, to reset the Bose speaker, turn it off, unplug it from the power source, wait for a few seconds, then plug it back in and turn it on.
If none of the above solutions work, try updating your iPhone’s iOS or the Bose speaker’s firmware. You can check for available updates on your iPhone by going to Settings > General > Software Update. On the other hand, to check for software updates on your Bose app, if available, go to the app store and look for updates.
If you have tried all the steps above and your Bose speaker still won’t connect to your iPhone, it’s best to contact Bose customer support or bring your speaker and phone to a professional technician for assistance.
