I don't know about you, but my AirPods have been a total nightmare. Routinely won't wake up, routinely don't charge; often when I go for a run one of them is dead or at 10% charge. I now have a routine where I insert/remove/insert/remove/insert/remove and watch the led to make sure it blinks -- it makes it better, but it's not foolproof.
And don't get me started on the iWatch, it crashes at the same point on my run about 50% of the time. Now when I say same point, I mean same geographical location. Doesn't matter if I run directly there (it's about 1 mile from home), or if I do a 5 mile loop first. Always roughly the same place (within 200 yards). I should go and look up the coordinates, maybe there's something odd about the numbers.
Anyway, switched back to iPhone, wired earphones and armband holder -- much better (and now I can take pictures of the woods when I see something interesting!).
- xnyan 6y agoI don't know if this applies to you, but I've purchased multiple pairs of airpods and airpods pro (only ever lost one bud) and I've gotten 1 very professional counterfeit (sold at a major US retailer, looked perfect) and one bad set from the factory. Both had the problems you are mentioning - terrible battery life, terrible pairing and connection. I was able to return both of them (convincing the retailer that I had not swapped out a counterfeit set of airpods and was trying to return them was tricky), no problems anymore.
