Apple Drops Exciting New Firmware Updates for AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 – What You Need to Know!

Apple has just rolled out new firmware updates for its AirPods lineup, specifically for the AirPods 4 (version 7B20) and the AirPods Pro 2 with both Lightning and USB-C cases (version 7B21). Prior to this upgrade, both models were operating on firmware version 7B19.

While the specifics of the changes in these latest updates remain somewhat mysterious, Apple has confirmed that versions 7B20 and 7B21 bring various "bug fixes and other improvements." Unfortunately, the tech giant has not disclosed detailed information on what these fixes entail, leaving users to wonder about the enhancements.

In case you missed it, last month’s update (version 7B19) introduced impressive new features for the AirPods Pro 2, such as advanced hearing aid capabilities, hearing tests, and hearing protection functionalities when paired with an iPhone or iPad running iOS 18.1 or later. However, it’s worth noting that the availability of these features may vary depending on the country.

For those anxious to see these updates in action, here's a quick reminder: Apple does not allow users to manually force a firmware update for AirPods. Instead, these updates are delivered automatically over-the-air when the AirPods are in their charging case and connected to an iOS device or Mac.

Stay tuned, as we will continue to monitor this situation and provide updates as soon as more information about these firmware changes surfaces. Could this be a prelude to even more groundbreaking features on the horizon? Only time will tell!
