Supported Models & Details The pre-release firmware is compatible across multiple generations of Apple audio devices: • AirPods Pro: AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3 • AirPods: AirPods 4, AirPods 5 • AirPods Max: AirPods Max, AirPods Max 2 As is typical with AirPods beta releases, Apple has not provided release notes or detailed specific feature additions, performance enhancements, or bug fixes included in this build. MacDailyNews Note: To test the new build, users must enable beta updates on a connected companion device running iOS, iPadOS, or macOS: Connect the AirPods to an iPhone, iPad, or Mac running a current OS version. Navigate to Settings and select your AirPods. Toggle on the option for Beta Firmware. Once enabled, firmware installations occur automatically over the air. Place the AirPods in their charging case, connect them to a power source, and keep them near your connected Apple device. Because there is no manual “Update” button for AirPods software, the installation process typically completes over a few hours. ‎ Please help support MacDailyNews — and enjoy subscriber-only articles, comments, chat, and more — by subscribing to our Substack: macdailynews.substack.com.
