The Bluetooth speakers are super forgiving, they can be connected without any aid. All you need is a Bluetooth speaker and any iPhone. To connect the two, here’s the step by step guide;

Turn on the speaker and the iPhone. To be able to connect the speaker and iPhone via Bluetooth, the two devices has to be on

Step three

Carefully examine the Bluetooth speaker, there would be a button press and hold the button to bring it to the “pairing” or “discoverable” mode. If you do not find any button, check the Bluetooth speaker’s manual. There would surely be some other way to put it into the pairing or discoverable mode

Step four

The speaker would be listed with a name or the model number, whether its name or the model number, it would be easily recognisable. The option can or can not appear, if it does not appear you can simply disable and enable the Bluetooth again on both devices

Step seven

Now that you have the speaker option, tap on the option to enable pairing. Wait for a few minutes. Within 1 or 2 minutes the pairing would be done. However, if it does not happen for any reason, you can repeat the procedure. It must be kept in mind that a few Bluetooth speakers come with passwords, so you have to confirm first whether a password would be required for pairing the two devices or not.
