AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max get new firmware update

Honestly, what the actual EXPLETIVE with these mystery airpod updates? You have no control over getting them--none--and you can't know what they're for. This from the company that markets consumer privacy as a core value. "Hey, we're going to install firmware updates on your devices, not give you an opt out choice, not tell you when it will happen and not tell you the purpose of the updates."

If you follow the link on your iPhone, it lists the firmware updates and this one states "bug fixes and other improvements".  What more do you want? Do you think they installed malware on your headphones when you weren't looking?

What the actual EXPLETIVE does consumer privacy have to do with Apple seamlessly improving our AirPods and routinely keeping them up to date free of charge?

It would be nice to know what got 'fixed' or 'improved' or what features got changed or removed, and would also be nice if Apple would stick to their own guidelines and not use "bug fixes and other improvements" as update messages.

I don't know why the description of how to check the firmware is so different on my iPhone 11, but I have to go to 
1 Settings 
2 Bluetooth 
3 select info my AirPods 
4 read "version" -which is firmware version
