AirPods keeps on disconnecting
I have a AirPods 1st gen and it works perfect until around April 2020. Both Left and right AirPods disconnects, The left AirPod stay connected a little longer than the right AirPod( few seconds it disconnects) Put the AirPods back into the case the then it will start to work again and then disconnects again. Annoying is an understatement! I reset my AirPods hundred times but the issue persists! Even reset network, my iPhone itself whatever fix they have online or in Apple Community name it, I tried it! But I found an article in Macworld about MagicPairing that making AirPods crash here its is;
So, is this way we are having issue with our AirPods I love my 1st gen AirPods and yes it’s couple or 3 years old but I took care of it and still looks brand new. It shouldn’t have a problem like this now!
Some AirPods user says it’s the firmware which is now @6.8.8 and unfortunately we cannot update firmware manually!
Is this a scheme to make us buy AirPods 2 or AirPods pro?
I just want to get my AirPods back the way it was! I cannot afford to buy a new AirPods!
Thanks for your help in advance !!!

MagicPairing bugs could crash AirPods, other Apple products
Researchers at the Darmstadt University of Technology have found security flaws that could disrupt AirPods, Apple Pencils and other devices using Apple's MagicPairing Bluetooth technology

MagicPairing is an Apple technology used in AirPods and other Bluetooth devices with the H1 chip. It makes it faster and easier to pair devices, and is more secure than a standard Bluetooth connection.
Now a group of researchers at Darmstadt University of Technology have found 10 bugs in the MagicPairing code that can be disrupt paired devices in various ways. They can, among other things, force devices - such as AirPods, iPhones and Macs - to break connection, or crash by running the processor at 100 percent.
Apple was notified of the bugs between 30 October last year and 13 March this year but so far none of them have been fixed, writes The Register.
Jiska Classen, one of the researchers who found the bugs, believes the flaws have been left unpatched because they are not particularly serious from a security perspective. None of them can be used to trick the iPhone into connecting to a fake product or hacking it in any other way; it's all about interrupting the connections.
The researchers also say that Apple's Bluetooth protocol is full of misspellings and that they vary between different parts, giving the impression that each part was written by each hired programmer and that no proper code cleaning has been done centrally.
"Overall, we were surprised that Apple did not fix the rather simple bugs that could be fixed by adding a few checks," said Classen.
