I replaced my iphone 13 with another iphone 13. Why can't i connect the airpods to the new phone?
My old phone is at the bottom of the bay...unretrievable. I need to connect my airpods with my NEW phone.
iPhone 13, iOS 16
Please start with Apple's setup document as a checklist
Connect your AirPods and AirPods Pro to your iPhone - Apple Support
If your setup still fails you have a shared guide to use when describing what went wrong.
