This is a nice update for AirPods settings.
The long national nightmare of hidden AirPods settings on iPhone is finally over with iOS 16: when AirPods are connected to your device, a top-level page appears in the Settings app, allowing you to quickly jump into your AirPods preferences.
This way, you’ll no longer have to go find your connected AirPods under Bluetooth settings. In another nice touch, the AirPods page comes with a preview of the model you have at the top.
