"Airpods pro 3 not disconnecting after case is closed: I’ve reset the airpods, cleaned them as stated and still they wont disconnect from my iphone after I close the case. I have to manually disconnect each time. Anyone else having the same problem?? I just bought my airpods 3 yesterday and was upset they don’t support the Thai language for translation. I’m really hoping that it’s a software glitch that apple can fix through an update as far as the airpods not disconnecting."

Unpair these from the iPhone:
Note that AirPods cannot be unpaired remotely. This is because they are not assigned an IP Address. That means, you need to unpair these locally (IOW: from the iPhone itself). So, a few things here...
A. Turn Off ALL VPN Connections:
Are you using any VPN connections? If so, turn it off, as connectivity can get in the way here.
B. Reset these AirPods to Factory Settings...
- Go Here: Unpair, Restart, or Reset your AirPods - Apple Support
- Scroll to: Return AirPods to factory settings
- Proceed from there as necessary
C. Remove these from your Device List:
- Go here: Remove a Device from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com - Apple Support
- Scroll to: Remove a device from the Devices list
- Proceed from these as necessary
The Ultimate Solution...
D. Reset your iPhone to Factory Settings:
The ultimate way would be to reset iPhone to Factory Settings. IMPORTANT: So, backup your iPhone a computer prior to this reset. That way, you can have something to restore it from, should anything go wrong from here on out.
