How to update AirPods firmware
There is no official way to update AirPods firmwaresince it is an automatic process and sometimes takes time, so what we will do is force AirPods firmware update, so, although we can speed up the process, it may not be successful in the first instance. To carry it out, you must follow the following steps:
- We put on the AirPods and play some content, such as music on Apple Music or Spotify.
- We take off the AirPods and put them inside their case.
- We connect the AirPods case to a charger with the iPhone nearby.
- We wait a few minutes and verify that the AirPods update has been completed.
Following these steps, the AirPods firmware will have been successfully updated, but to ensure that this is the case, we can do it as follows:
- We connect the AirPods to our iPhone.
- We open the Settings application.
- We play in General.
- We enter Information.
- We select AirPods.
- We see if the version matches the new one.
