Airpods Always Disconnecting on All Devices

Yep, still disconnecting for me 1 min after use. What a joke! I’ve got two gen 1 pairs and they both do the same thing. Reset everything, even factory reset phone and nothing will fix it.

Come on Apple - after 9 months and you still can’t fix the issue! Fix your firmware!

Agreed, I have already dropped the Macbook Pro, just couldn't take the amount of stupid and irritating bugs that are now present in the OS. I switched back to Windows and it took me 2 weeks to re-adjust but its now well worth it.

I threw my Air pods in the bin yesterday and won't be investing my money in any of the newer models.

I'm also happy with my Samsung Note 10, While the interface of the iOS is nice and everthing, the Playstore is a joke, iTunes ***** for back ups and the boring user interface now just *****.

See ya Apple.

Was a solution ever posted for this or are we expected to buy the latest AirPods? I love my AirPods but I hate the short battery life even when wearing one at a time. I’ve reset etc etc but it’s gotten worse. AirPods have a life span I’m thinking, but the battery on them is saying 90% when they shut off. Sigh. I’m ready to throw them against the wall.

i have 1st Generation Apple Airpods - they are disconnecting more than frequently - i checked several articles for Firmware version update - but its not happening. I have done numerous times pairing & unpairing the result is same, Battery is absolutely fine both on earphone & case they are both showing 98% ~ 100% charged, believe me i have done everything that number of articles related available on the internet for re-booting/ repairing and trying to fix problem of continuous Bluetooth connection terminating Between my Iphone & Airpods and have come to an conclusion........Apple is cheating customers by not providing Update for 1st generation Airpods. My airpods have Firmware version 6.8.8....This is frustrating as i have shelved these AIRPODS & now forced to use Wired Headfones !! i will surely not buy anymore apple Airpods or its product as this is corporate cheating but people be aware........Apple is forcing customers to buy NEW AIRPOD PRO and does not want to provide software versions for 1st generation. If Apple yr intentions are clear than help fix my problem & re-build faith in your product so that we can depend on the Brand.......otherwise there is No difference between other Brands available in the Market VS Apple ? pls give a thot and respond. Thank You

Completely agree AAD8. It's put me off Apple entirely now. I have two pairs of AirPods 1st Gen and they're doing the exact same thing! On multiple devices too. Bought around the same period. Pretty unacceptable for a firmware update to break the 1st gen models and forcing us to purchase an 'upgrade'. Go away Apple, we've had enough of that thanks.

APPLE SUPPORT, ARE YOU STILL HERE?

I went to Apple Support for the same issue last week. Your support did not help. You upgraded my airpod firmware without my authorization and now I requested to downgrade the firmware, but your support said no method. What's stuck for your company?

Was I agree to do any firmware upgrade automatically when I brought your airpod?

I REQUEST to DOWNGRADE the firmware and don't touch my airpod. It was brought from my money!!!

Sorry Danny. I think Apple knows this issue but it does not want to solve it. I go to Apple support already but the replied answer is not helpful/support.

1. It cannot help to check what is the problem of aipod.
2. It says it has not receive such report/complain.
3. It will not care what the customers say on the forum or internet. It will only care what Apple say but we know NOTHING.
4. It will not return my airpod to let Apple to check although I agree to pay money.
5. It cannot help to downgrade the firmware although I have not agree to do the upgrade for all of time.

I have tried all the method/suggestions as available in the net/youtube but no avail. It could not be ascertained the actual

defect. The Airpods work for 14-15 minutes then after it gets disconnected.

Took my chances and went into the Apple Store. No luck. The Genius worked hard, tried various things and admitted that there was an issue but still not a recognised issue and so only option was replacement at close to the price of new 2nd Gen. Tried with iOS 14 as well and not surprisingly no difference.

sick & tired exploring all the possible methods all turned into wastage of time. Apple wants us to buy the newer version. But it gives a wrong message to the Apple products user and obviously the reliability will diminish and switch over to other reliable companies.

Agree with you. I’m in Apple family since 1978. Believe me, is no cheap in my country. I’m loyal to the brand. The brand, for 1st time is not loyal to me. Wrong message. I paid for 2 airpods, but now using 1. #Fix the Airpods Now

waiting for you revert please

Same problem here ..I have my 1st gen of airpods and Im using Iphone Pro11 with ios 14.1 ... keep disconnecting in less than a minute althought there's no problem with sound quality.

All things been tried and no result.

Simply amaze on how apple way to make us buying the new airpods gen, knowing they didnt provide on the new iPhone 12 series pack for the sake of environment reason, but they sold it separately. Well done👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

My AirPods had the exact same problem. Suddenly stopped working a few seconds after use. This issue began shortly after my warranty expired, and around the same time AirPods Pro went on sale.

I tried everything including several factory resets. Nothing. So I was forced to buy AirPods Pro.

Now I want to give my original AirPods to a friend, but they still fail after a few seconds. I just enrolled my phone for Public Beta for 14.2 because it has a new limiting charging feature for the original AirPods. But that didn't fix the issue.

Upset that my original AirPods stopped working at the time AirPods Pro went on sale. I don't want to cry conspiracy theory, but this does appear to be a widespread problem. Suspicious and frustrating.
