Another month , another AirPods firmware update where nobody knows what it does . Are we doing this again ? Okay !
As spotted byMacRumors , Apple released a raft of firmware updates on Tuesday . These updates implement to a huge range of its audio products :
As is nearly always the case , we do n’t fuck what these updates do . For some cause , Apple is tightlipped about AirPods firmware ; whereas iOS and macOS update get copious release line , AirPods firmware updates are usually mark as hold “ germ fixes and other improvements . ” That ’s been the case for the last 11 update , including both 6F8 and 6A326 , as you may see on Apple ’s taciturnrelease note page . ( British readers should note that the interlingual rendition numbers are differentfor U.K. users . )
While in world-wide , it might seem inexpedient to install a software update on a gimmick when you do n’t experience what that update does , you should be pretty safe to do so here . If the updates did something major , Apple would make an exception and tell us so , as it did for the unexampled features add in 6A300/6A301 . There are belike just some small hemipterous insect that you may not even have noticed but need patching just to be on the safe side .
Apple announcedseveral raw features for AirPodscoming to iOS 18 , including nodding to answer phone calls and Personalized Spatial Audio for games . Currently inbeta testing , the update will arrive in the fall .
update AirPods firmware is not something the substance abuser has a great tidy sum of ascendency over . Rather than being triggered manually , the firmware will automatically install at some item in the near future tense when the AirPods are in their typeface and charging . If you ’re marvel which firmware version your AirPods are running at the moment , open options on your iPhone , select your AirPods , curlicue toAbout , and checkVersion .
