So my Airpods 2 have an outdated firmware version, but as a user I can't explicitly have iOS update the firmware, and there is no indication when an update happens. I wish I would have more control.
- GeekyBear 2y ago> Firmware updates are delivered automatically while your AirPods are charging and in Bluetooth range of your iPhone, iPad, or Mac that's connected to Wi-Fi. https://support.apple.com/en-us/106340 https://support.apple.com/en-us/106340
- cpncrunch 2y agoI dont think that is the full story, as my airpods didnt auto update when simply within range, as they werent connected to the device, so therefore no way to actually download the update. You need to connect to a device via bluetooth for 5 mins (e.g. just open case when close to device if it is configured to autoconnect). Then close the case and leave for 15 mins. Then connect again and check version.

- alwillis 2y agoAs more features get added to current and future AirPods, I'd like the ability to trigger an update or at least be notified if one happens. I get it—95%+ of AirPods users shouldn't have to know about firmware updates. But for those of us who do care about these things, there should be someway to monitor what's happening. It usually doesn't matter but I have experienced delays in getting AirPods firmware by a couple of days. There could be a time in the future when getting a firmware update ASAP does matter.
