iPhone 13 Pro Max is freezing up when connected to AirPods Max and Apple Watch at the same time

Hi, I’m having an issue with my AirPods Max. They freeze the phone for a good 30 seconds or so, where it starts working… until you touch the screen. I’ve reset my AirPods Max yet the issue still occurs. This has been a known issue for quite an issue for quite a while, here’s a quote from user “desi145” in October of 2020 (except that to this user it is occurring with AirPods Pro) :

”AirPods Pro make my phone freeze up: Is any one else having issues with Airpods to connect when trying to use them, for me to get them to have sound right away in the bluetooth settings i have to go to test the sound for them to work other than that, when i try to connect them the regular way it makes my phone freeze up. Im not sure if it's the new IOS that made them do that or if it's the air pods it self. What should i do about this. or what has help other people”.

And a follow up answer a month later by “llim1119”:

“I have the same problem. I just found out that if I use AirPod Pro alone with my iPhone, it will work fine. But as soon as I connect my iPhone with other Bluetooth devices such as Apple Watch or Car Link, my phone will freeze. So, as long as you use your AirPod Pro alone with your iPhone, your phone will work fine and do not connect other Bluetooth devices to your iPhone. There are so many people have the same problem and Apple should fix this”.

Now, with that answer you might be wondering what’s the problem? Well, it’s that I actually use my Apple Watch and that is been 4 YEARS without a fix officially made by Apple. I’m hoping that there actually is a fix, either already or coming soon, because it’s literally impossible to use both of these devices without issues. Thank you.
