Apple has recently updated its AirPods firmware support page, offering a comprehensive guide on how to update the firmware for AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max. Unlike devices such as iPhones or Apple Watches, which allow manual updates through settings, AirPods firmware updates occur automatically.
The new support page provides specific suggestions to facilitate this process, including charging the AirPods with a USB cable and waiting at least 30 minutes for the update to complete.
After following these steps, users can verify their AirPods’ firmware version by navigating to the About section in their Bluetooth settings. If the firmware hasn’t updated, Apple recommends resetting the AirPods and repeating the steps.
Steps to Update AirPods and AirPods Pro Firmware:
- Ensure Connectivity: Place your AirPods within Bluetooth range of your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, which should be connected to Wi-Fi.
- Prepare for Charging: Place the AirPods in their charging case and close the lid.
- Initiate Charging: Connect the charging case to a power source using a USB cable.
- Wait: With the lid closed, wait for at least 30 minutes to allow the firmware update to occur.
- Reconnect and Verify: After the waiting period, open the charging case lid to reconnect the AirPods to your device. Then, check the firmware version in your device’s Bluetooth settings to confirm the update.
Steps to Update AirPods Max Firmware:
- Ensure Connectivity: Place your AirPods Max within Bluetooth range of your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, which should be connected to Wi-Fi.
- Initiate Charging: Connect the AirPods Max to a power source using a USB cable.
