Title: Apple Releases New AirPods Pro 2 Firmware Post by: HCK on September 28, 2024, 04:05:03 pm Apple Releases New AirPods Pro 2 Firmware
Apple today released a new firmware update for the AirPods Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/airpods-pro/) 2, with the software available for both the USB-C and Lightning models. The ‌AirPods Pro‌ 2 firmware has a build number of 7A305, up from the 7A302 firmware released earlier in September (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/09/18/apple-airpods-pro-2-firmware-7a302/). <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-825981" src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2021/11/AirPods-Pro-Firmware-Feature.jpg" alt="" width="2322" height="1306" /> There is no word yet on what's included in the firmware, but Apple is planning to add hearing aid and hearing test features to the ‌AirPods Pro‌ 2 in the not too distant future. The firmware update could potentially lay the groundwork for those capabilities ahead of when the full feature set comes out in an iOS 18 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-18/) update. Apple has already received FDA approval for the hearing aid functionality for the ‌AirPods Pro‌ 2. Apple doesn't have a way to manually upgrade AirPods software, but firmware is generally installed over-the-air when the AirPods are in a charging case and connected to an iOS device or Mac.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: AirPods Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/airpods-pro/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: AirPods Pro (Neutral) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#AirPods-Pro)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: AirPods (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/airpods.216)</div> This article, "Apple Releases New AirPods Pro 2 Firmware (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/09/26/apple-releases-new-airpods-pro-2-firmware-7a305/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-releases-new-airpods-pro-2-firmware.2438264/) in our forums Source: Apple Releases New AirPods Pro 2 Firmware (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/09/26/apple-releases-new-airpods-pro-2-firmware-7a305/) |
