This update comes just three weeks after the last AirPods Pro firmware release. Apple doesn’t generally give us very detailed release notes for AirPods updates. Today’s update likely focuses on bug fixes and other improvements.
As you probably know by now, it is not possible to manually update your AirPods to new firmware versions. Instead, Apple says new firmware versions will install when your AirPods are connected via Bluetooth to your iPhone.
To check your AirPods firmware version:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone
- Navigate to the “Bluetooth” menu
- Find your AirPods in the list of devices
- Tap the “i” next to them
- Look at the “Firmware Version” number
