iPhone Bluetooth audio delay on games but not watching videos

When I play games on my iPhone 12, there is a noticeable delay of (I’d guess) about 300ms. However, when I’m watching a video through the TV app or on YouTube there is no delay, the audio and video are in synch.

Apple: I’m intentionally not telling you what brand the earbuds are, because I know from previous experience that you will immediately blame the earbuds. This happens with multiple sets of earbuds, including Apple’s.

iOS 15 on iPhone 12 Pro Max Bluetooth Quality Bug Hello. I have noticed recently with my Bluetooth earbuds and now with my Bluetooth connected to my car audio that the quality of the music coming from iPhone is significantly reduced. It’s audibly worse and I found that the only workaround is to go to the camera, select video so the audio stops, then it somehow fixes itself and becomes clearer. Is there a permanent fix to this? No I will not be repairing my devices because I have tried that.

iPhone 12 Pro Max Bluetooth or iOS problem Issue with Bluetooth or iOS on 12 Pro Max: Strange, earbuds were paired as separate devices, Left and Right. When playing a song, only left earbud works. I had no issue with iPhone 6+. both were working, and paired as a single earbud unit. Apple, any ideas why it works with older Iphone 6+ but not with new iPhone 12 Pro Max ?
