When a player joins a world again there’s this bug that sometimes loses all his items and xp. It’s not all the time but it’s an annoying bug that needs to be fixed. This bug is in the game since the alpha versions and needs to be fixed fast!
This bug does not affect just the iPhone 7 but also the iPhone 6 and 6S that is of my knowledge. There may be more.

Did this world exist before 1.2.9, and if so did the affected players experience something like this in earlier releases? MCPE-29863 reported a bug that resulted in players sometimes having two player profiles in the same world. The profiles had the same gamertag, but different armor, inventory, and XP levels. When the second profile was initially created, it put them near the world spawn with no equipment or experience. If they continued playing using that profile, they could play normally and build up their inventory and XP again, while the other profile remained unchanged. Depending on the order they played worlds and whether they shut down the game between times, they might even switch between the profiles, seemingly at random.
MCPE-29863 fixed that bug by ensuring that the player always uses the same profile, but I'm not sure which profile it uses or how to tell which one the player is currently using. So it's possible that players experiencing the current problem are using a second profile that was created when they hit the earlier bug. If so, I don't know of any way to retrieve the other profile, unfortunately. What I can say, though, is that they should no longer switch back and forth between profiles since MCPE-29863 was fixed. That means that if they are willing to start over, obtaining replacement inventory, armor, and XP, the old bug should not cause them to lose them again.
It's also possible that this is a new bug, or that the old bug has regressed, but I think the analysis above is more likely. However, it will be up to somebody else to determine that.
Note that none of the above analysis applies to new worlds created under 1.2.9.1. If it happens in new worlds, it is definitely a new bug or regression of the old one.

I've been experiencing this bug too on Xbox One on first Bedrock releases.
Never happened when playing on 1.2.8, happened again today after 1.2.9 update.
