Bluetooth pairing problems (iPhone 16 Pro with Sony WH-1000XM5)

Upgraded from an iPhone 13 Pro Max to an iPhone 16 Pro a week ago. Both running on latest iOS 18 and data transfer was done manually

Bluetooth pairing seems to be facing a problem. I have been trying to pair up with my Sony WH-1000XM5 but somehow the phone fails to detect the headphones on Bluetooth. Today I tested with my spare earbuds Bose Soundsport Wireless and faced exactly the same problem. Strange Carplay and my home JVC home player don‘t have this problem
