Every time I connect my AirPods, they always end up disconnecting shortly after. And it’s always starts with the left AirPod followed by the right one disconnecting, with a few second in-between. I’ve tried resetting them, I’ve tried putting both of them in the case, I’ve checked to make sure my iPhone is updated, but it seems like nothing is helping.
iPhone 8, iOS 16
