Airpods Pro & iPhone 12 Pro Max freeze/crash app

Just got the iPhone 12 Pro Max on 11/13. Paired Airpods Pro on 11/14, all was well until 11/16 and than the phone keeps freezing when I connect the airpods.

Doesn't matter what app I try playing music on or watching videos, the app freezes and than crashes a minute later. When the app comes back the process starts all over again.

I have tried forgetting the airpods from the phone, resetting them and connecting them back to the phone.

Any one else having issues on their iPhones that describes my situation? It used to happen on iPhone XR but I thought upgrading to the new iphone would solve the issue. Works perfectly fine when I use the airpods with iPad 6, no issues whatsoever with the iPad.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

This is definitely the problem! The minute I turned my watch off the earbuds worked.

It unfroze my phone immediately!

This is ridiculous that I have to choose between products.

I have a series 3 watch by the way and I’ll be ****** that I buy or upgrade to a newer series just have my pods work.

Please send update ASAP!
