Hey i cant connect my airpods to my iphone

Have you held down the button on the back of the AirPods case for a few seconds and tried re-pairing them that way? Make sure the AirPods are in their case when you do this.

This should help if you have trouble doing this: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT209463

If this fails, do you have any other Bluetooth devices you can try connecting them to, just to rule out if the problem is with your iPhone?

See this for help, Connect your AirPods and AirPods Pro to your iPhone - Apple Support The Related Article that you linked to the forum with shows how to reset them if necessary.
