Apple has released new beta firmware updates for AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 models. The firmware, with build number 7E5080a, is currently available only to developers. This marks the second beta firmware update Apple has tested, following the previous version 7E5067b released in January.
The update applies to both AirPods Pro 2 models with Lightning and USB-C charging cases. At present, it’s unclear what new features or changes are included in this firmware update. Non-developers continue to use firmware version 7B21 on AirPods Pro 2 and 7B20 on AirPods 4, which will remain unchanged until the beta firmware is officially launched.
