Annoying "Airpods connected" notification every time I unlock my phone
This seems like a very old issue (e.g. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251803959), and even though many reported new iOS is supposed to fix it, I'm still having it. 1/2 of the times I unlock my phone I get a notification "Airpods connected". I understand I can fix this issue by setting "Connect to this iPhone" to "when last connected to this iPhone" but this would kill the automatic switching functionality, which is like using airpods with an Android phone. And I can't even turn off the notification.
Has anyone found a solution to this?
