Apple has released new firmware for the AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4. Apple hasn’t offered any release notes, but the update likely involves bug fixes and performance tweaks.
Installation is automatic when the AirPods are in their charging case, the case is plugged into a charger, and the linked iPhone is in close proximity and connected to Wi-Fi. You can check the installed firmware revision in the “General” settings menu, by selecting “About,” then “AirPods.” AppleInsider says the update contains “miscellaneous minor bug fixes.”
