I suggest you return the AirPods.


Not the answer you want to hear but this is a common issue with XS phones (see link below) and AirPod Pro gen 2 and


There is no timeline for when/if this will be fixed.


One person in below thread said this has *not* been fixed with the iOS 16.3 update.

I am using iPhone Xs Max (MT622LL/A) with iOS 16.4.1 with iPod Pro 2 (A2698) Firmware 5E133. The first time it worked flawlessly. After that it did not. It improved from a delay of 30 seconds or more to a delay of around 10 seconds. If you cannot fix this, you should offer a refund of my iPods? I have 2 (iPod Pro #1 & #2) sets that neither work.

Some change has been done in the late weeks of may or early weeks of June. I used to be able to dial out on the AirPods without a problem. Now it connects on the side I am dialing to but does not allow me to hear them or talk to them. Even when I just try to disconnect them, the iPhone stays connected to the AirPods even when they are in their case. This prevents me from using the phone in anyway. I usually have to wait a minute or two before the iPhone reverts back to a normal state and I can use the microphone and speaker built into the phone. So it is just getting worse. This tells me they actually do not have any clue what the actual problem is or they would have this fixed by now. It has been 6+ months.

I have the same problem. I have an iPhone XS and AirPods Pro (2nd generation) that are useless.



A visit to the Apple service center didn't help at all! The employees say that there's no possibility to fix this issue.

The consultants keep repeating that the problem will be resolved with the next iOS update.

We all know that's nonsense!!!


Does Apple have any intention to solve this problem?

So now the AirPods Pro 2 disconnect without warning and hang up a call. Up until recently, I would use them after I started a call with someone. Now they are 100% useless. So after all this time they have officially become as useful as a rock. What would Steve Jobs say to this? I am actually amazed they do not seem to care about their customers anymore. I am currently a 100% Apple environment, but I may have to rethink this. I think the way they are handling an understandable software glitch is showing how the company has changed in recent years. Buying another iPhone is just kicking the can down the road for when this issues happens with the next version. Very disappointing to actually have proof how much you mean to the company you spend your money with.

I’m using AirPods Pro 2nd gen I have facing same issue. While receiving the calls disconnected automatically and reconnecting again after 20 to 30s. It’s only problem with iPhone XS , XS max. See Apple team if you are not fixing the issue then why your mentioned compatibility list in AirPods pro 2nd gen page. There you have clearly mentioned AirPods Pro 2nd gen compatible with iPhone XS Max but, why we have facing connectivity issue. We need solutions for this issue or else just take back the products and refund the money that’s it. Customers not a fools okay. We are believing the Apple products and your promise but, you guys are not following for promised words. Apple products cost is very high but, we believe it’s good products but now money wasted. My salary is very low then also I bought your product but, now I’m facing the issues. See clearly tell us what’s the solution for this issue. We need justice for this issue.

Have send them videos but after initiating logging sessions

its gets stuck in compressing logs after a day it says log send but Apple support not receiving any log

they asking to visit store and submit mobile and AirPods again to software testing and logs as they are not getting logs for analysis

but I don’t think Apple Store will help as they are not bothered

can any legal help be provided to us for this issue ? What can be done ?

apple support wants some logs which are not getting attached

so visited store for 4th time

store says they uploded logs and diagnostics

support said doesn’t work that way

store don’t know what to do

support saying now wait for 2 weeks will try again

I’m tried and launching a compliant with consumer department

they take it forward with apple to reply with justification
