    Hi guys, got a new iPhone 7 at the weekend and its not picking up any other devices with bluetooth. Any ideas what is causing this? Do I need to take it back?

    What sort of devices? Bluetooth on iPhones is crippled and doesn't work with everything.

    Mainly with the bluetooth in my car. Had no problems connecting with an iPhone 6 to it

    That should work. Try a restore in iTunes, failing that, get in touch with Apple I'd say.

    My iPhone 7 (and previously 5) almost never connect automatically to my car Dension unit. I always need to manually go into Settings - Bluetooth - Connect and it connects then. My cheap chinese Android phone connects instantly.
