Apple has released a new firmware update for AirPods Pro. The update likely includes additional bug fixes and improvements to the wireless earbuds and their charging case.
The newest AirPods Pro firmware has build version 6A305. That’s up from build version 6A303 released last week, which also focused on bug fixes and performance improvements. The prior release also synced AirPods Pro with Lightning and AirPods Pro with USB-C charging to the same firmware version.
Updating AirPods firmware isn’t as straightforward as installing the latest iOS software. The process happens in the background when AirPods are connected over Bluetooth.
To check your AirPods firmware version:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone
- Navigate to the “Bluetooth” menu

- Tap the “i” next to them
