iphone 6s plus compatibility with air pods pro 2

My 6s plus will not indicate the battery status on the phone when I open the lid on the pods. They work fine on my wife's iphone 11. Could it be this feature is not supported on my old phone running 15.7.2? The air pod pro 2's are version 5B58 model A2698. Other than this little quirk I am very pleased with my purchase. (My wife has her own set)

Hi Geezer3,


For help with checking the battery percentage on your AirPods, be sure the conditions below found in the article here are met. Charge your AirPods and learn about battery life


"Check the battery percentage

You can check the battery percentage of your AirPods with your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Check the battery percentage on your iPhone 

Open your case lid with your AirPods inside and hold your case close to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Wait a few seconds to see the charge status of your AirPods.

Use the Batteries widget on your iPhone to check the battery percentage 

You can also check the charge status of your AirPods with the Batteries widget on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The charge for your case appears only when at least one AirPod is in the case."



If conditions are met, the information below from the guide here If your AirPods won't connect states:


"If you have AirPods Pro (2nd generation), you need an iPhone or iPod touch with iOS 16 or later; an iPad with iPadOS 16.1 or later; an Apple Watch with watchOS 9 or later; an Apple TV with tvOS 16 or later; or a Mac with macOS Ventura."


You can update your iOS software with the steps in the article below.
