Bluetooth pairing issue with AirPods after iOS 18.6.2 update on iPhone 15

After the iOS update 18.6.2 now my air pods won't pair to my iphone 15. I tried all 11 things on a video I found online and it still didn't help.

I've noticed after the 18.6.2 update on my iphone 15 pro max my airpods stop connecting. I restarted my phone with no success. I deleted the airpods from Bluetooth, restarted the phone and was able to add them. Now they show they are connected but audio plays from the phone and not the airpods. The airpods connection screen well pop up when I open the ipod case but does not play sound through them
