iPhone 13 Pro stops recording for a split second when using various external microphones

Hi tried two different external microphones (ex. Rode VideoMic Me-L and Shure MV88) and they worked perfectly on iPhone 6 to iPhone 11, until I upgraded to iPhone 13 Pro. I tried various recording apps and the same thing, every several minutes the mic cuts out for a split second, then continues recording. I rebooted phone, put it in airplane mode while recording but same thing. I saw a handful of Reddit posts saying the same thing happened with the Rode mic, so I just bought a Shure mic and same thing. Whats going on?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

With all due respect, the problem is with iPhone, it no longer works well with my external microphones, even though I use different brands. They started happening with iPhone 13 Pro. It has nothing to do with the apps or the microphones. Because it happens with various microphones and various apps and the same thing happens. It does not happen with iPhone 6 to iPhone 11 Pro. So I feel it’s iPhone 13 Pro that has some kind of issue and not playing nice with my external microphone.
