Garmin Edge 530 Bluetooth / Iphone XS unreliable connections

I've been following these forums for a while now & just had to chime in today... I've had nothing but issues with my Edge 530.  The last couple of rides I had total loss of connection with my iPhone XS well into my ride.  Everything seems fine & then suddenly all Bluetooth sensors go dark (power meter/cadence sensor, & heart monitor).  The last couple of rides had it happen 25-30 klms into the ride, & the last one just completely locked up the unit when I tried to save the ride. I've had to re-pair the unit to my phone several times in the past during coffee ride stops because it happens more often then not. I cant tell you how frustrating it is having to unpair/ forget this phone & re-pair my phone to the edge almost weekly now. It's crazy how un-reliable this unit is in maintaining a solid Bluetooth lock.  Had I know of these issues I would never of purchased this POS. I'm hoping the s/w engineers figure this out soon, or this will be the last Edge I buy.
