I bought my Airpods Pro 3 on day 1 and I've noticed that they randomly disconnect for 1-2 seconds and then they reconnect. I then have to press play to continue listening to my music. Sometimes this happens twice a day and sometimes it can be days between occurrences.

My Airpods Pro 3 are running what I assume is the latest firmware version, 8A358. They're connected to my iPhone 16 Pro, running iOS 26.1.

I turned on the “Keep Audio with Headphones” setting (at Settings > General > AirPlay & Continuity) and the issue still occurs. Its happened as I'm laying in bed with the only other person in the house (my wife) sleeping next to me, so it can't be another device turning on and trying to take over the connection. I'm not sure when the issue started and if it coincides with any software updates. And yes, this continues to happen even after rebooting my phone.

Is anyone else experiencing this?
