New firmware versions released for AirPods 2 and 3, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and Apple's official MagSafe chargers. We will start talking about the latter and it is that the MagSafe chargers also received a new version in which they go from being the version 9M5069 to 10M229. This new version corresponds directly to the improvements implemented in the AirPods version, so it is necessary for everything to work properly.
In this case MagSafe chargers do not allow forcing the installation of the new version, they update themselves when we put our iPhone in the charger so it is a new totally remote update.
AirPods 2 and 3, AirPods Pro and AirPods Max also get an update
All these new versions are already available and should be installed in our headphones in the next few hours. In this case, details of the new features that are implemented in this new version 4C165.
How to force update AirPods
In case you want force install this new firmware because it does not appear on the AirPods, you can perform the following steps:
- We leave the AirPods inside the charging box
- We connect the Lightning charging cable and that's it
With this procedure we will be able to force the firmware update in some way if it has not been installed. If what you want is to know the version that your Airpods have installed, we simply have to follow the following steps:
- Make sure you have the AirPods connected to the iPhone or iPad
- Open the Settings app
- Choose the option, General
- Enter the section, Information
- Click on the text, AirPods or on the name you have
The AirPods Max simply have to be near the iPhone and with enough battery to update, so the only thing we can do is put them to charge near our iPhone and the update will install automatically. In the event that we have news about these released versions, we will share it on the blog.
