AirPods gen 1 disconnects on 6.8.8

My AirPods gen 1 disconnect after a few seconds after being upgraded to 6.8.8. Basically they’ve been like this for a few years because apple has decided not to address the issue after AirPods gen 2 were released. It isn’t isolated, just an addressed. I’m asking someone at apple to generate a fix for this so I can use my perfectly good AirPods that are just sitting on my desk. Sorry to be so blunt, but this feels like planned obsolescence.

hey apple, is there any chance to fix the connection issue with AirPods or is the only solution you offer “have you tried reconnecting them” ?

to be honest, and taking into account that you are so over priced. It seems lacy on your part.

please offer a working solution as I’m sure, I am not the only one feeling fobbed off by your conglomerate.

Hello justin.peters,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
