Apple rolls out new AirPods Pro 2 firmware 6.1 update

Apple has released a firmware update for the AirPods Pro 2 to improve the performance and stability of the wireless earbuds.

The update includes build number 6B32. Apple has not released patch notes, so the update will likely improve existing features.

In October, Apple released the second firmware update for the AirPods Pro 2.

The new firmware is installed automatically for users. Manual updates are not available. The firmware will install itself when the AirPods or AirPods Pro are placed in a charging case and connected to an iOS device.

  1. Open the Settings App
  2. Select General
  3. Select About
  4. Select the AirPods you wish to view
  5. A menu will appear showing relevant device information

My APP (Hardware Version 1.0.0) are still at firmware 6A300, despite being in their charging case and connected to my iPhone for the past 24 hours.

Oops - I re-read the article. It looks like this firmware update only applies to APP 2.0. Mine are 1.0.
