Ensure that the AirPods are in their case. Put the case next to your iPhone and flip the top open. Within a few seconds you should see the Connect animation. Then choose connect.
If the above does not work then you will need to reset the AirPods and then re-pair them to your iPhone.
Reset your AirPods
Put your AirPods in their case
Close the lid. Wait 30 seconds, then open the lid.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and tap the "i" icon next to your AirPods. (If you don't see your AirPods in Settings > Bluetooth, just go to the next step.) Then tap Forget This Device, and tap again to confirm.
Reset your AirPods
With the lid open, press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for about 15 seconds, until you see the status light flashing amber.
When you reset your AirPods, the settings for your AirPods also reset. You can change your settings again.
Reconnect your AirPods
With the lid open, place your AirPods close to your device. Follow the steps on your device's screen.
