Apple Releases New Beta Firmware for AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods 4

Apple today released new beta firmware for the AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/airpods-pro/), and AirPods 4 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/airpods/). The firmware is limited to developers at the current time, and it has a build number of 8B5034f.

Apple is not testing any iOS updates right now, so it is unclear what's in the AirPods firmware beta.



With iOS 26 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-26/), iPadOS 26 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipados-26/), and macOS Tahoe (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macos-26/), Apple added a beta firmware update installation option that's available from the AirPods settings interface when the AirPods are connected to an iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone/), iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/), or Mac, which facilitates beta testing.



Developers can use the beta option to turn on beta downloads.
