iPhone 18 and Airpods 4 bug

I just recently switched to an iPhone 18 PM, and I’ve noticed an issue: when I’m playing Clash Royale with my AirPods 4 and someone calls me, and I answer on my phone, my AirPods 4 have no sound. Even if I close the game, when I make a call, there’s no busy tone, and I can’t hear the other person speaking either.

iPhone 18 Pro Max, iOS 27

So far, I’ve only noticed this issue with this game. Even after I completely close the game, sometimes when I receive a call, there’s no notification sound at all, or my AirPods just disconnect from my phone.

That makes it sound as if it's more than just the game. But start with checking for an update for the game. Also, make sure the phone is updated to iOS 27.0.1.
