`Apple Updates AirPods 2 and AirPods Pro Firmware to Version 3A283
`
`Monday September 14, 2020 11:24 am PDT by Juli Clover
`
`Apple today released new 3A283 firmware updates for the second-generation AirPods and the AirPods
`Pro. The second-generation AirPods are being updated from the 2D15 firmware they were previously
`running, while the AirPods Pros are being updated from the 2D27 firmware they had installed
`previously.
`
`Apple does not provide details on what's included in refreshed firmware so we don't know what's
`included, but we are awaiting new firmware to support iOS 14 features such as automatic device
`switching and spatial audio for the AirPods Pro .
`
`There's no standard way to upgrade the firmware of the AirPods , with the new firmware installed over-
`the-air while the AirPods are connected to an iOS device. Putting the AirPods in the case, connecting
`the AirPods to a power source, and then pairing the AirPods to an iPhone or an iPad should force the
`update after a short period of time.

`
`Highly subjective opinion, but the ANC feels stronger after the new FW update.
`
`Safari seems snappier with the new AirPods update as well.

`
`It won’t come with this.. the update required for spatial audio will be a hardware update ( all current
`hardware updates for AirPods Pro are 1.0.0.0) (I think that’s the amount of zeros lol) this is a
`software update
