Apple has updated its support page for AirPods firmware updates with a more in-depth, step-by-step guide to help users successfully update their AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max. The guide clarifies the process and includes specific suggestions for a smoother update experience.
Apple has refreshed its AirPods firmware support page with a more comprehensive, step-by-step guide on how to update the firmware for AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max. Unlike most Apple devices like the iPhone or Apple Watch that can initiate updates through settings, AirPods rely on an automatic update process.
While the page retains Apple's original summary of the conditions required for successful updates, it now incorporates a more detailed walkthrough to ensure a smoother automatic update experience. Although many steps align with previously known information, the updated guide includes specific suggestions, such as charging the AirPods with a USB cable and allowing for at least a 30-minute waiting period for the update to complete. These clarifications aim to assist users who have encountered difficulties with firmware updates in the past. The following steps are specifically designed for AirPods and AirPods Pro. The instructions for AirPods Max are nearly identical, excluding the steps related to the charging case.1. Ensure your AirPods are within Bluetooth range of your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, which should be connected to Wi-Fi.2. Place your AirPods inside their charging case and close the lid securely.3. Connect the charging cable to your charging case and then plug the other end into a USB charger or port.4. Keep the charging case lid closed and wait for at least 30 minutes to allow the firmware update to proceed.5. Open the charging case lid to reconnect your AirPods to your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.6. Verify the firmware version once more. Notably, there are no audible cues or pop-ups on connected devices to indicate the successful completion of the AirPods firmware update.Following these steps and allowing for a minimum of half an hour, you can manually check your AirPods firmware version by opening the Bluetooth settings on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Click on the Info button next to your AirPods' name and navigate to the About section. If the displayed firmware version remains older than the latest versions listed on Apple's support page, the company recommends resetting your AirPods and then repeating the firmware update process.
