Apple has launched a fifth iteration of beta firmware for its AirPods Pro 2, Pro 3, 4, and Max 2, accessible to developers through build number 9A5347a. The update, introduced in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS Golden Gate, introduces a fresh AirPods interface, an Adaptive mode slider, and custom EQ support. This firmware also enables compatibility with Siri AI on Apple devices.
When connected to an iPhone, iPad, or Mac running iOS 26, iPadOS 26, or macOS 26 and later, users can access a beta firmware option in the AirPods settings. By turning on beta updates, users can install the firmware, which can be downloaded after connecting the AirPods to an Apple device and powering them on. Installation might take several hours due to the absence of a software update feature for AirPods, unlike other Apple devices.
