Apple Inc’s new mobile operating system iOS 8 is causing significant issues for some users who connect their phones to cars via Bluetooth, reports Apple news blog MacRumors, citing reports on Apple’s Support forums and its own user forums.<\/p>\n

It appears that following an upgrade to iOS 8, or after purchasing a new iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, users seem to be having trouble pairing their phones to their car audio systems, MacRumors posted in a blog.<\/p>\n

Several issues faced by users include the devices refusing to pair entirely, neglecting to play audio over the speakers, or disconnecting when a call comes in.<\/p>\n

The Bluetooth pairing problems are not just limited to cars, as iOS 8 users have also reported issues pairing their devices with headphones, speakers, headsets and more.<\/p>\n

MacRumors had also posted on Monday that a bug in iOS 8’s ‘Reset All Settings’ option could erase iCloud drive documents, citing user reports.<\/p>\n

Apple has been plagued by problems following the September release of its iPhones and iOS 8, with iPhone 6 Plus buyers discovering their phones can bend when placed in back pockets, and the company pulling a botched iOS 8 update after reports of dropped cellular service.<\/p>\n

Apple could not be immediately reached for comment.<\/p>\n
