> Others are due to bad configuration defaults from Apple. Forcing AirPods to connect to the last device and turning off “pause music on removal” fixes two of the author’s problems.
I don't even necessarily think these are problems. I almost always want whatever I'm playing to stop when I disconnect my headphones, and there are times I don't want the headphones to connect to the last device (ie: I've been listening to something on my laptop, left the laptop behind somewhere, and want to start listening from my phone).
Ok, so the reason I said bad is because this happens to me. I’m playing music on my laptop. I go to the bathroom. Maybe an auto-playing video with sound pops up on my iPhone. The headphones switch to my phone. Now I’m back at my laptop and have to manually reconnect the headphones.
Perhaps this is what people want, but in my cases it’s two tech annoyances (auto play video and fumbling with the Bluetooth menu).
