Kind of out of ideas on how to fix this, hoping someone here may have seen something similar. Ever since I had the 14 Pro last year, I started getting this weird behavior where my AirPods and CarPlay almost always refuse to connect to my phone on a new day. It requires either a reboot or a toggle of Bluetooth before my phone is willing to connect to either of these things on a daily basis. When I got my 15 Pro, I was lowkey hoping it would fix this annoying behavior but everything is the same. It's really annoying, I can't just pull out my AirPods and put them in, they don't connect and my phone starts playing the audio itself. Then I'm mentally prompted to go and turn off/on Bluetooth for no apparent reason, then it works again. I also was chalking the CarPlay part of this up to wireless CarPlay just being flakey, but I got a new car with a newer system and the same behavior still happens. It feels as though something very wrong is going on with my phones Bluetooth. Any suggestions here?
