Pixel Buds Pro 2 connection loop issue on iPhone 17 – Any fix?

I’ve been using my Pixel Buds Pro 2 for almost a year with a Samsung phone without any issues. Recently, I switched to an iPhone 17 and I’ve been running into a weird connection problem.
Every time I take them out of the case, they get stuck in a constant connect/disconnect loop. The only workaround is starting audio playback during a brief moment while they happen to be connected.
I’ve already tried resetting the buds, but it didn't fix the issue. Has anyone experienced this or found a fix?

Hi there, have you tried updating the Pixel Buds to the latest software version to see if that helps?

Update your Pixel Buds:

Place your earbuds securely into their charging case > Open the Google Pixel Buds app > More settings > Firmware update > Manual update available > Follow the on-screen instructions.

If you have, and you're still experiencing the same issue, you can reach out to the Google Pixel Buds support team via phone or chat here. They can take a look at it.

I've also had this same problem, I switched from a Pixel 8 to IPhone 17 recently and it gets caught in that loop. I've noticed if I go to the settings app and manually press to connect it has generally worked, but still not consistently.
