linked brand new AirPods 3 to my two iPhones 12 mini and 12 pro, both running buggy 14.8.1, and the AirPods show on both phones as an 'ACCESSORY_MODEL_NAME_19'..


looks like quality control in apple is getting only worse..

Hello SnickZ,

thanks for getting back to me. my guess it's just a faulty firmware.

it appears when I tap on the exclamation sign in the circle next to the AirPods under bluetooth.

happens on both of my phones: 12 mini and 12pro, both running 14.8.1

renaming airports doesn't help. I've tried to rename , reset, 'forget' and reconnect - no joy..


re-attaching screenshots from both phones as it appears the original ones were deleted.

and, no - I'm not going to upgrade to iOS 15, not until apple patch app the bugs. I'm done repeating same mistake year after year - upgrading to the latest OS release only to struggle with all the bugs and wait till apple fix them.
