Apple has released developer and public firmware beta versions for several AirPods models, including AirPods Pro 3, alongside updates to macOS 27.2, iOS 27.2, iPadOS 27.2, and more. These firmware updates carry build number 9B5043a, although Apple has not disclosed the specific changes they include. To participate in the public AirPods beta, users must enable the beta option from the AirPods settings screen on an iPhone.
Apple provides detailed instructions for updating AirPods and AirPods Pro firmware, requiring users to ensure their devices are updated to the latest software, AirPods are connected via Bluetooth, and the device is connected to Wi-Fi. The process involves placing AirPods in their charging case, keeping the case closed, and waiting at least 30 minutes for the update to complete.
If the firmware update fails, users can reset their AirPods and attempt the process again. Instructions for updating AirPods Max firmware are also provided, requiring users to connect the charging cable to the bottom-right earphone and then to a USB charger or port. After waiting 30 minutes for the update, users should reconnect their AirPods Max and verify the firmware version.
If the update still does not succeed, resetting the AirPods Max and retrying the update is recommended.
