Remove and then replace the battery in your AirTag

If your AirTag still won't connect to your device, reset your AirTag

Set up your AirTag using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

You did comprehend my question. My new iPhone 15 Pro didn't recognize my 10 pre-existing airtags that were working on my previous iPhone. However, after I rebooted my phone I had a red arrow saying "Finish setting up iPhone" or something similar. After selecting this, all my airtags became recognized. Problem solved.

Yes I did, what I didn’t know is that you didn’t finish setting up your new iphone, I’m happy for you don’t need to reset 10 AirTags!
