If iPhone can connect to the Bluetooth PCB, that means, at least, PCBA is good. The most possible reason is the Bluetooth version.

Bluetooth version is not compatible. Bluetooth is a communication protocol. If the Bluetooth headset supports a version of the Bluetooth protocol that is not compatible with other devices, the connection will fail.

Try to consult Bluetooth chip suppliers and you can get a clear list of compatible phone.
If you are a retailer, it would be better to classify this product by various Bluetooth versions before recommending products with proper Bluetooth to your customer. It is a good way to ensure consumer satisfaction in terms of product and sales service.

What kinds of test is suitable for low volume PCB order?

I’ve ordered fabrication and assembly of small PCB batches (100pcs) a couple of times already. Each time the factory asked me if I want to do test on the PCB. But I don’t what to do about it. And I test them by myself. Then, the result of the testing is unacceptable with 15% soldering problems. So bad. I think I will ask the supplier to test them before delivery.
