To ensure your AirPods Pro are updated to the latest firmware, follow these steps:
- Keep your AirPods Pro within Bluetooth range of your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
- Connect your Apple device to Wi-Fi.
- Place your AirPods in their charging case and connect the case to a power source.
- Close the lid of the charging case and wait for at least 30 minutes to allow the firmware update to install.
After this period, you can check the firmware version to confirm the update. If the update hasn’t been applied, repeat the process.
