Apple releases new beta firmware for AirPods
Apple today released new beta firmware for AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3, AirPods 4, AirPods 5, and AirPods Max 2. The firmware has build number 9B5043a and is currently rolling out to developers.
It’s unclear what’s included in the firmware update, as Apple doesn’t offer notes for AirPods beta releases.
When AirPods are connected to an iPhone, iPad, or Mac running iOS 26, iPadOS 26, or macOS 26 or later, there is a beta firmware option accessible in the AirPods settings interface. Enabling beta updates allows users to install beta firmware.
Firmware updates can then be downloaded by connecting the AirPods to an Apple device and connecting them to power. It may take a few hours to install the new firmware, as there is no software update option like other Apple devices.
