Earlier this week Apple shipped new firmware for AirPods Max models with Lightning. Today, the company has followed that up by releasing a beta version of new firmware for all AirPods Pro 2 models. Here are the details.
Latest firmware follows AirPods Pro beta debut last month
Apple’s new beta firmware applies to all AirPods Pro 2 models, regardless of whether you have a USB-C charging case or Lightning case.
The new beta build is 7E5080a, and any updates and changes it brings are currently unknown.
Apple last shipped beta AirPods Pro 2 firmware just over one month ago, when version 7E5067b debuted.
So far though, noticeable differences with the latest firmware have been difficult to find.
Currently, the publicly available AirPods Pro 2 firmware version is 7B21, which introduced “Bug fixes and other improvements” to the earbuds.
It’s unclear whether Apple plans to release this latest AirPods Pro 2 version in a wide launch soon, or if testing will continue alongside the current iOS 18.4 beta, with a coordinated public launch in early April.
We don’t yet know of any specific iOS 18.4 features that might require new AirPods firmware, but it’s always possible that could change as future betas get released.
