Apple Releases New Firmware Update for AirPods
Apple today released a new 3.7.2 firmware update for its AirPods, likely introducing bug fixes and performance improvements to the wireless earbuds.
AirPod firmware updates are installed automatically when the AirPods are connected to the iPhone, so AirPods users should begin seeing the new firmware soon as the update rolls out to everyone.
Apple did not provide release notes with the firmware update, so it is not known what problems the new software might address.
Tip If you don’t see your AirPods in the menu, pair them to your iPhone.
To pair AirPods, first ensure that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are turned on in Control Center on your iPhone. Next, place your AirPods in their charging case and hold the case approximately two inches away from the phone. When you see a setup animation on your iPhone, tap Connect, then tap Done to finish pairing your AirPods.
2 With Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled, your AirPods paired and selected as the output device, place both earbuds in the charging case and close the case.
3 Connect the case to a charger or a USB port on your computer. Your iPhone must be nearby your AirPods in their case.
4 Wait 15 minutes or so to give your iPhone enough time to download the firmware, verify it and send the update wirelessly to your AirPods.
Tip Remember, your AirPods must be connected to your iPhone and the phone must be nearby and connected to Wi-Fi in order for the firmware to download and install.
5 Once the software update has installed, check your AirPods firmware version by opening the charging case so that the connected graphics appears on your iPhone, then tap Settings → General → About → AirPods.
