AirPods not connecting to iPhone after updating to iOS 17

Since I updated my iPhone 13 to iOS17.0.3 my AirPod Pro 2 earphones won’t connect. They will connect for a second then I receive a message Not your AirPod Pros - Connect. I’ve reset them, restarted my iPhone, reset the phone back to its factory state. I also face the same problem on my MacBook Air which I’ve upgraded to Sonoma. Anyone know when this will be fixed? This is very disappointing

I still have the same issue. I spent $10 for my airpods to be checked and they diagnosed it for replacement. Its like buying another set of airpods which is a crap idea.

I hope the next update will fix this. I tried calling apple support thrice but they still dont consider this as a bug. I hope all users should raised this for it to be fixed.

I just purchased the AirPod pro 2 gen earbuds. When pairing I had to update to the latest iOS version 17. Yesterday, I was able to use them. Today, they won’t connect at all. I tried everything stated on Apple support to fix the issue. Resetting and unpairing. Neither have worked and now that I’ve unpaired, they won’t reconnect to my iPhone 13 Pro. I was trying to determine if it’s a hardware or software issue. Now, I’m leaning towards software since everyone else appears to be complaining about the same thing. Apple please fix this bug as soon as possible.

My new iPhone15 Pro Max has the latest software ios17 and out of the box, I've been experiencing issues with both sets of my AirPods. Apple has tested them and confirmed they're functioning properly, so the issue appears to be with the iOS. When I turn the volume down to a certain level, the audio begins to crackle. Additionally, during noise cancellation, the sound either crackles or goes completely silent.

Airports 2 2nd generation connection issues with iPhone 13 pro max

it suddenly no sound with all functions working properly as play, stop,...

it must be disconnected and reconnecting to hear the sounds again!!

Updated to 17.1 yesterday, ever hopeful for a fix of this glaring fail. What a fool I was. Airpods pro 2 heroically connected once, right after the installation ended and within a minute disconnected. Further attempts for pairing were all unsuccesfull, rendering these $250 headphones a rather expensive and less effective form of ear plugs.

Goddamnit, Apple. Dropped the ball quite badly.

Hi all, I’ve been following this post hoping to get a solution. I recently moved to another city which has official Apple Store so I took my time to let them check my AirPods Pro 2, since it still has warranty. They have checked and said it’s a fake one which I’m so disappointed. It’s a big lesson for me to learn to not buy any Apple products from anywhere else except Apple Store itself. It functioned so well before iOS 17. I was happy about it. Noise cancelling, mics all worked well till iOS 17 came and killed it. Latest sonoma blocks it as well. Apparently they can multiply so many fake ones using one legit serial number. If you got it secondhand from someone else, I advise you to get it checked. If you got the original ones and still facing the problem, I can’t help you 😅

I'm experiencing the same issue with my AirPods 3rd Gen on my iPhone14- Pro. I'm currently running iOS 17.1. However, they are pairing with my friend's iPhone 8 Plus. I hope you will fix this issue soon. We are very disappointed at this time because my phone is always stuck or freez after updation with iOS 17. :(

I have the same problem also and the Apple customer service rep said they’ve had no complaints regarding the loss of AirPods with the new software or any subsequent patches in the iOS 16. How can Customer Service deny this when there are so many comments here on this board?

I’ve been experiencing the same exact thing. Ever since iOS 17 came, my 3rd generation AirPods do not connect to my iPhone 13 well. My right AirPod is not connecting at all. I managed to reconnect them, and the right one stopped working. Nothing wrong with them. I am kinda regretting downloading the new iOS. I have had other glitchy issues with it.

Same issue with my first gen AirPod Pro in my iPhone 13 Pro. iOS 17 seems to have more bugs than any version so far. This happened after I upgraded to 17.1 if that helps, never had any issues with them before

Same problem since the initial update to iOS 17. Shows connected but no sounds through iPods Pro. Have to take them out of my ears, return them to the case and close it. Reopen case and put in my ears and then they work.

It is an iOS 17 issue for sure. There are so many other bugs I am coming across with the 17.1 update. My lock screen widgets are all off center (since 17.0, still not fixed) my games are constantly glitching during play, when setting a timer with Siri it always goes back to the default "radial" alarm even though I use a different sound (this never happened with previous iOS versions), after traveling across the country my device didn't update my time zone automatically. With my Airpods, not only do I have to continually reconnect them, I also lose the left side and also get interference between them during use

It’s been confirmed that it is a software bug issue. I was told, when I called Apple, that they are aware of the issue and are working on fixing it with the next few software updates. Hopefully it’s sooner rather than later.

Powerbeats pro with iPhone 13 having same issue. Especially when making a call. It doesn’t necessarily disconnect but no one can hear me and I can’t hear anything. I have to tap speaker or iPhone for sound and then tap on the beats headphones again. Is really affecting work calls in a bad way. Super disappointed. Also calls are barely going through
