Don’t you just need to put the AirPods in your ears for them to connect to the phone (and for the phone to switch from the car automatically?) Unless you’re always wearing them while driving..

It’s still 3 clicks for both operations (slide from corner, 1. Tap the wireless cluster where there’s a group of four small icons, 2. Tap either WiFi or Bluetooth where there’s a list with up/down arrows. 3. Select from that list)

On OSX there is a bug where if you have automatic ear detection on, even with latest AirPods, it will connect back properly but the OS will not switch the output to it, but it will think it did. You will have to turn off bluetooth and turn it back on again, even disconnecting from airpod and reconnecting doesn't fix it.

I mean, Apple software quality has gotten so abyssmal, I haven't updated TailScale to latest version because when it updates, briefly a notification appears telling me to go into settings to approve something but even when I click that notification, it doesn't take me there. And I know the location it is talking about, when I go there, there are no pending requests.

It is all so tiresome. Except for battery life, it is literally a terrible platform now. And just several years ago, it was light-years ahead.
