Beats and AirPods Headphones Shut Off When You Fall Asleep in iOS 26

AirPods have accelerometers for Spatial Audio. Apple hasn’t explained it, but I’m guessing it detects when you’ve been motionless for a certain period of time.
Mine have always done this, but that’s just because they always fall out at some point after I fall asleep.
Not enough. I need them to get out of my ears. Put themselves in the case and put the case on charging. All by itself.
Now if they would just auto pause the over priced beats over ear studios still can’t believe they put out a 300 dollar head phone that will just kill its self if you don’t power it down because they couldn’t put a 25 cent sensor???? Yes it’s always on sale at Amazon and I think for this reason bought them and returned them. A 99 dollar AirPod auto pauses yet a 300 dollar headphone cannot?
I got sick of looking for my AirPods in my bedding so switched back to EarPods. The volume and pause buttons are great too.
AirPods are nice when outside the house though I won’t buy a new pair

There’s not much worse with AirPods than falling asleep and the AirPods keep playing and run the battery down so then can’t find them using „Find My“ because the battery is dead and they fall out your ears somewhere in bed.
This could be really useful!

Like many tech features today, it won't work reliably. If I could turn off all these "helpful" features, my life would be so much better.
The AirPods are more difficult to become tangled when one side is under your bed and the other is across the room on the floor.
I might have to look into adopting your solution.
