Apple has released a new developer beta firmware for AirPods Pro 2 and AIrPods 4. Apple has released a new developer beta firmware for AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4, but it's not clear what the update contains. Thursday's developer beta increases the build number to 7E5067b, up from the previous 7B21 and 7B20 updates. This beta software release is available for Air Pods 4 and AirPods Pro 2, both the USB-C and Lightning models. The software won't be released for AirPods Max or other non-H2 devices.
Apple periodically releases beta software updates for nearly all its platforms, including AirPods. While beta updates for Apple's mobile and desktop operating systems are released much more frequently, developers still rely on beta software for AirPods to test new features ahead of launch.
With version 7B19, Apple introduced Hearing Health features to the AirPods Pro 2, which let users perform hearing tests or use the device as a hearing aid in cases of mild to moderate hearing loss. While the exact contents of Thursday's developer beta are unclear, the software likely includes various bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements rather than new features. Apple has not provided any release notes for this beta software update.
Apple has made it relatively easy to download and install beta versions for iOS and macOS, but that's not the case for AirPods firmware updates. The first step in the process is to have a registered developer account, which is now free. Once you do that, follow these steps:.
