> Instead, this: Hello? … Wait, hello? Can you hear me? Okay, hold on. Ugh. Okay, okay, just a second. I have to get my earphones to connect. Damn it. Okay, never mind, I’ll just hold it up to my head. Hi, ugh, sorry about that.
i had basically this same problem just yesterday. for years i would take calls with wired earbuds that had an integrated mic. i upgraded my iphone and now i have to use one of those lightning to 3.5mm adapters for that. the official adapters last for like 2-3 months until they begin flaking. not usually a deal-breaker, because it just means ~0.5s of lost audio every couple minutes but…
a recent iOS update made it so that if the earpiece disappears during a call then the OS drops the call. so i had to redial 3 times during my call. eventually we switched to Facetime, which still disconnects me upon audio drops but leaves the other side connected so that i just have to press “join” instead of redialing.
not an infra issue, but it adds up to the same crappy call experience.
