"AirPods won’t connect after updating to iOS 17: Thank you for the reply and tips. Unfortunately none of these steps helped resolve the issue in any way. I am still unable to see my headphones in any way with my phone. I am wondering what the next step is in moving forward? My Airpod pros are less than a year old.
