Just got my Airpods Pro 3 this morning and when I went to pair it with my new iPhone Pro 17 Max or old iPhone Pro 16 Max, it didn't show the engraving on the Airpods case on the screen. I tried unpairing/re-pairing, hard resetting Airpods then re-repairing, and nothing works to make the engraving show.

The engraving for my old Airpods Pro 2 still shows on both my new and old iPhone.

Anyone else having this issue?

I too have this problem. I have the 💩 emoji on AirPods Pro 3 and only my AirPods Pro 2 reflect the 💩 emoji on UI.

I just got my APP3 today and my engraving showed up.

Have you tried again since 26.0.1 was released?
 
Maybe that was the trick. Despite doing this pultiple times prior, I unpaired and re-paired and now the engraving shows up 🤷‍♂️

Just kidding, the engraving disappeared after closing then reopening the case. Problem is intermittent.

I didn’t even know this was a thing. Nice touch (if it works).

yes, unfortunately mine still doesn't show despite the upgrade. My APP2 engraving does show.
I'm hoping that a future firmware upgrade for either the iphone or the Airpods will help.
I could try wiping my phone and restoring from back up again to see if that makes a difference but all that time to just the engraving to show (with no guarantee that it'll work) doesn't seem to be worth it.
