Issues since 5B58 firmware update?

Guys. I spent the afternoon with tech support at the Genius Bar and this is what worked for me:

1: Forget (unpair) your AirPods from ALL your devices.

2: Reset your AirPods to FACTORY SETTINGS.

A: On the regular AirPods, open the hood and hold the little reset button for like 30 seconds. The light should start blinking orange.

B: On the AirPods Max, take them out of the case and hold the crown and other button together for like 30 seconds and the indicator light will be blinking orange.

3: Re-pair to your device.

I can’t promise this will work, I’m not even convinced that it my problem has been resolved, but I’ve been using it for 6 hours and it has worked perfectly so far.

Give it a try. I hope it works for everyone.

It really is a software (firmware) issue. No hardware involved. The new

firmware causes a crash of bluetooth deamon by overflow. A developper

created a tweak for older iOS versions to correct this bug. All is back

to normal for me but everyone is not in the JB community... The name is Potatso on Reddit.

First gen airpods Pros with 5B58 on an up to date iPhone 12. Since 5B58, I now regularly get 1-3 second audio cutouts while walking on the street where I absolutely never had them before. Curiously I have noticed they tend to happen more frequently in specific places as I'm walking, so I'm wondering if it has to do with handling interference/error correction breaking down.

I had AirPods Pro 1st gen firmware 4E71 working flawlessly on my iphones (6 / 6s / 7 / XR) respectedly on ios (12.5.6 , 15.7 , 15.7, 13.4.1) for months. Since this update 5B58, airpods needs to connect 2 ou 3 times before playing music.

When i pause music, it seems to restart Bluetooth on my iphones so both airpods ring to inform of a disconnection and reconnection.

When i take off one of my airpods same thing happens : Bluetooth turns off and on again and Airpods losse connection and sometimes only one reconnects.

Bonus: I tried to connect Airpods pro 1st gen on iPhone SE 2020 iOs 16.1 : No issue at all.

My question is : Does Apple force us to buy new iphones using planned obsolescence ?

Affirmative! My AirPods (1, 2, Pro & Max) (that's 4 different AirPods) are ALL having connectivity issues again... but get this: They work perfectly with non-apple devices like fire stick and Alexa devices... WFT?

This is like a joke. I have had 3 tech calls and 2 Genius Bar appointments.

I was told to reset my phone. Dumb idea. It’s is not a hardware issue.

the new firmware 5b58 is an issue.

how long will it take Apple to fix?

I have the same issue. After 5B58 update my right airpod won’t connect. I have to reset then its works but when i put my airpods in the case en close the lid i opened the lid and put right airpod out it won’t connect. This update is a problem

Similar problem, iPad with iOS 13.5.

On every media app whenever I pause the content playing the whole Bluetooth shuts down for a few seconds and with it the AirPods also.

Usually I’ve got the iPhone around so many times It reconnects on the iPhone instead! other times it won’t reconnect at all.

I’ve got this problem with both AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 3 (these started to make issues only when 5B58 came up).

They worked perfectly with the older firmware so the solution cannot be to update iOS or buy new stuff…

Similar issues with AirPods MAX. $550 awesome headphones that absolutely won’t stay connected to any device since the 5B59 software update.

I hear a “click” in the left earpiece and that’s it. It stats to disconnect and reconnect and disconnect and reconnect, over and over.

Have reset several times and tried every Internet suggestions

Help

I AM HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH MY MAX’S! I thought is was something did but clearly it’s affecting us both and those with other models! How the heck are they not releasing an update as it’s been more than a month since the update! My AirPods just tried to connect to a random iPad in a convenience store when I walked in while doing the connect, disconnect, connect, disconnect loop! 600 dollar headphones! I can afford to be upset too

Same here: AirPods 3rd Gen

when I reset them they work exactly once, until they disconnect and won‘t reconnect.

dont work with iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone SE 2020, Not with MacBook Air m1.

BUT

they did connect and reconnect everytime to my Linux Thinkpad rofl

I have the same issue. One of my airpods pro doesn’t work. I had this same problem with my airpods 1st gen. At this point i think apple does it intentionally. I am five days outside of my AppleCare. I paid $213 for these on sale and support told me to fix them that I would have to pay $252 at this point. I’m not buying any more AirPods I spent a fortune on these things and they broke because of their BS firmware update,
