I bought a pair of bluetooth Jaybirds just 2 months ago, and they paired immediately with my iPhone 6s Plus. I just upgraded to the iPhone 7 Plus, and the Jaybirds would not pair...just as with you, just the spinner going trying to discover. I brought it up, while at the Apple Store during the set up of the new phone. Apple staff reaction...Oh well, SOL! That isn't a verbatim quote, but that is the gist. Needless to say, I was beyond unhappy.


Got home and figured it out...at least this is how it worked for me on my set of Jaybirds and the iPhone 7 plus.

Power off the Jaybirds

Turn off bluetooth in the iPhone settings

Turn bluetooth back on in the iPhone settings - the spinner should be going

Hold the power button ON, on the Jaybirds, and CONTINUE holding it on, even after the buds tell you "Power On, xx% charged"...

After just a few extra seconds, the iPhone bluetooth screen "discovered" the ear buds.

At that point, you can let off the power button.

Hope that helps...

My excitement for the new 7 is somewhat restored.
