- Bug fixes and other improvements
There isn’t any way to manually update the firmware of the earbuds, and the new software will be installed over the air while the AirPods Pro 2 are connected via Bluetooth to an iOS device.
If you place the AirPods Pro 2 in their case, connect them to a power source, and then pair them to an iPhone or iPad, they should update after a short period of time.
