Apple Releases New Firmware Update for AirPods Pro 2: Here's What You Need to Know
If you're an AirPods Pro 2 user, there’s a new firmware update out today! Apple has quietly rolled out version 7A302, replacing the 7A294 update that was just released last week. This update applies to both the AirPods Pro 2 with Lightning Charging Case and the AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C Charging Case.
What’s New in the Update?
As of now, Apple hasn’t shared any specifics about what changes come with this update. However, it’s likely that version 7A302 brings a few bug fixes and optimizations following the 7A294 update, which introduced some exciting features like:
- Head gestures for easy control.
- Voice Isolation for clearer calls.
- Latency improvements for better audio sync.
While the new update probably smooths out any lingering issues, the lack of official details means we’ll have to keep an eye out for user reports on any noticeable changes.
How AirPods Firmware Updates Work
The best part about AirPods firmware updates? You don’t have to do a thing! Updates are installed automatically when your AirPods are charging and within Bluetooth range of your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. So, if you have your AirPods connected to your devices regularly, the update should install on its own.
If you want to double-check whether your AirPods are up to date:
- Make sure your iPhone or iPad is running the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
- Head to Settings > Bluetooth, tap the Info button next to your AirPods, and scroll down to the About section to find the firmware version.
