bluetoothd watchdog timeout on iPhone

A bluetoothd watchdog timeout means the bluetoothd system process did not respond within the allowed time, so the watchdog forced the iPhone to restart and wrote a Panic-Full log. It falls under Wi-Fi / Bluetooth, with Medium severity. Not every hang is a hardware fault: read the other lines in the log to tell a software problem from a failing part. Scan the log with the Panic Scan app to get a verdict for your phone.
