IT House reported on December 20 that Apple today launched a new firmware update for the third-generation AirPods. The new firmware version is 6A317, which is higher than the 6A300 firmware launched in September.
Apple did not provide an update on the new firmware, nor did it provide instructions on how to upgrade AirPods firmware, but firmware is typically installed over-the-air when AirPods are connected to an iOS device. The update will be forced by placing the AirPods in the charging case, connecting them to a power source, and then pairing the AirPods with an iOS device or Mac.
You can check the AirPods or AirPods Pro firmware version by following these steps:
Connect AirPods Pro to your iOS device.
Open the Settings app.
click regular.
Click About.
Click AirPods.
Look at the number next to "Firmware Version".
If IT House finds out more information about new features in the AirPods firmware version, we will update this article. Apple also recently released 6A307 beta firmware for AirPods Pro, AirPods 2, AirPods 3, and AirPods Max.
