AirPods Max Not Staying Connected - iOS 15.2b Issue?

[soulreaver99]

AirPods Pro Max for some reason keeps disconnecting and needs to be re-paired. This doesn't happen with my AirPods Pro. I actually had Apple swap out the AirPods Max for another pair and the same problem persists on 15.2 on both my iPhone and iPad.

Not sure if it is a 15.2 problem but I've never had issues like this before,

Anyone else experiencing this?

That has been happening to me today with the Beats Fit Pro headphones

Beats Fit Pro frequently losing connection to iPhone

So I just got my Beats Fit Pro today. And I have worn them a lot since I got them. I love the way they sound. I love the way they fit in my ears. But they have been dropping the connection to my iPhone very frequently. Like I have gotten probably six connection drops so far today in the 3-4...

But I am using iOS 15.1. And it doesn’t happen to my APM.

I have been getting this for the last two days. It's weird though because it coincided with me getting replacement AirPods Max headphones. My first pair started making a lot of unwanted noise.

I just received my new pair two days ago and while they sound better with no noise, I'm having those same connection problems as you two.

I was already to call Apple tomorrow and say the replacement headphones were malfunctioning but now I'm not so sure



Oh, and I also had some dramatic battery drain while in the case overnight :-(

Same thing happening with me with a variety of H1 headphones (AirPods 3, Beats Solo 3) across my two iCloud devices (iPad and iPhone 13 Pro Max)...after a few minutes of listening after pairing, the headphones literally get forgotten by all my iCloud devices.

Because it's happening across devices and across two different pairs of headphones...it leads me to believe this is a software issue. Really annoying

Experiencing the same issue and no amount of reboots, forgetting, and re-pairing has seemed to work.

So I looked around and found a workaround that worked for me but your mileage may vary and maybe you'll need a Mac...

Basically, instead of connecting the AirPods to an iOS device, I connected it first to my MacBook Air M1. After that, it showed up in my list of bluetooth devices on my iPhone and iPad. Haven't had any issues since then. Good luck...feels like something in iOS is broken.

Yeah I saw this too, unfortunately my MacBook Pro has already been sold in anticipation of my new one which is currently stuck with UPS in China...

Worst case I'll just have to wait until it shows up to fix mine.
