>no way to update firmware from Android, no way to check firmware version
To be fair, even on iOS you can't manually trigger a firmware update as Apple in their infinite wisdom decided that's too complicated for the average user, and to make things simpler for them, firmware updates just happen automagically™.
When do they happen? Whenever they fee like it. Just keep your phoner and Airpods close to each other and it will happen eventually, some time. Or not, if you have an error that causes the process to silently fail and the user will have no idea and no way to manually trigger the update or debug it, because that would ruin the AM (Apple Magic™).

No sarcasm whatsoever. 100% sincere comment. ‘The average user’ has utterly no clue about this sort of thing, and nor should they be expected to.

- szundi 2y agoLess features, less complexity.
- geon 2y agoIn the UI, yes. But the functionality is already preset. It just needs a button and a progress bar.
- Rinzler89 2y agoLess features also results into worse UX sometimes. There's a point of diminishing returns, and Apple of recent loves to keep crossing over it, by removing useful features such as being able to trigger a FW updates when the user wants to instead of waiting around for it to maybe happen.
