Hi,
We're currently facing an issue with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) range on our custom board using the NRF5340 with SDK version 2.6.1. During testing, we observed a significant discrepancy in BLE range between iOS and Android devices.
Findings:
- Android Devices: Achieving a BLE range of approximately 34 feet.
- iOS Devices: Limited to about 13 feet.
This raises concerns about compatibility and user experience, especially since both platforms should ideally support similar ranges.
Questions:
- Has anyone experienced similar issues with BLE range on iOS compared to Android?
- Are there specific configurations or optimizations in iOS that we should consider to improve the range?
- Any recommendations for debugging or tools that might help us analyze the BLE performance on iOS?
prj.conf is also attached for the perusal.

Thanks in advance for your help!
