Reply to BLE Peripherals streaming speeds are significantly slowed with new hardware (iPhone 17, iPad A16)
Hi, just wanted to chime in here, since we are experiencing similar issues as the OP. We have also developed an app that uses 2 BLE peripherals that stream data simultaneously at a high frequency. From our logs we can see the in field performance of a wide variety of models from hundreds of iPads used by customers around the world and we noticed customers using the iPad A16 11th gen Wi-Fi only (iPad15,7) model have been experiencing Bluetooth related issues. The issues have been observed since it's release (March 2025) and across a variety of iPadOS versions (from 18.3 up to 26.3). We have not seen these issues with customers using the iPad A16 11th gen Wi-Fi + Cellular (iPad15,8) and other models. We have since acquired this specific model (iPad A16 11th gen Wi-Fi only) for internal testing and we consistently see - even while using iPadOS 26.3.1 - around a 1 second delay in the data for 1 of the connected peripherals. Hopefully a resolution can be provided in the near future, since it severely impacts our customers using this specific iPad model.
