iPhone 13 Pro Max [solved] Suspicious Bluetooth device showing connected to my 13 Plus Max

[Caviar_X]

Not sure how long this has been connected but there’s a device called h20195DE connected to my phone that I cannot disconnect or get more information from. Even weirder, there's a device showing a low battery indicator in my battery widget that appears to be a headphone that is not mine.

Has anyone else seen this?

Go to Bluetooth settings, select the device, and "Forget" it.

I don’t even have the option to select the device. Notice there’s no “I” to select.

That's creepy dude keep us posted.

 

[chabig]

That's too weird. Everything Bluetooth should have an "I". Turn Bluetooth off then on. What happens? Reboot the phone. What happens?

 

[Caviar_X]

Turning Bluetooth off and then on didn’t work. It simply reconnected.

Restarting - the same thing. It reconnects.

This started after upgrading to Beta 16.4 yesterday.

Have you tried resetting bluetooth settings?

Also a Google search suggests two possibilities:

a profile installed on your device

an app associated with the bluetooth device

You should have mentioned that you’re running beta software. That changes the situation. Bugs should be expected.

You have no Bluetooth headphones or speakers of your own?

Problem solved. I found this post on Apple’ Support forum.

It's connected to my smart water bottle and the weird headphone widget has now disappeared from the battery app.

Thank god it was nothing awful.

Thanks, everyone for their replies!

Bluetooth water bottles? That's asking for trouble. Why does everything need to be "smart" and connected to the internet?

Because otherwise they'd be dumb.

It uses the iPhone to track daily hydration. I found it in the Apple Store.

I use my dry mouth to track daily hydration

The smartest system I know to guard against dehydration is thirst.

The h2o in the device name made me think some kind of smart water bottle or faucet filter. Glad that’s all it was.

I don’t want to sound rude or anything but a water bottle? Is this a joke?

What’s next, a smart device to remind you to breathe? Perhaps a device to remind you to go to the toilet before you pee yourself?

Because they insist on living their entire life and every aspect of it through their "device".
What would they EVER do without it?

.............and remind you to wash your hands when you're done!
For the appropriate amount of time and water temperature, of course.
And a skin moisture sensor to monitor how dry you get your hands after rinsing for the prescribed amount of time.
Some people just HAVE to wring every invested penny out of their smart phone, even at the expense of living a life.

I’ve been using my Hidrate bottle for years and it’s awesome.
