Apple on Thursday released a firmware update for the AirPods Pro 2 and 3. As it typically does with AirPods updates, the company has not announced what the new firmware does. The release notes are available here, but Apple doesn’t divulge much about what’s in AirPods updates, other than “bug fixes and other improvements.”





The new AirPods Pro 2 firmware is labelled as 8B28. The new AirPods  Pro 3 firmware is 8B30.





Users cannot manually trigger the firmware update. The installation involves storing the earbuds in the charging case, plugging in the case, and having the case in range of your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. The case must be closed for at least 30 minutes when the installation starts. We have more details on how
