What happened

Apple today released new beta firmware for the AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3 , AirPods 4, AirPods 5 , and AirPods Max 2 . The firmware has a build number of 9B5043a and is rolling out for developers. Apple is a software and consumer electronics company based in Cupertino.

There's no word on what's included in the firmware update because Apple doesn't offer notes for AirPods beta releases. When the 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 that can be accessed in the AirPods settings interface.

Toggling on beta updates allows users to install the beta firmware. Firmware updates can then be downloaded by connecting the AirPods to an Apple device and connecting them to power.
