Thanks! I followed your steps and hopefully they download soon

Nice. Didn’t work for me.

Does anyone know when will Airpod Pro 3 release? Should I buy Airpod Pro 2 now or wait for the next gen?

Typo in the build number? Mine is at 7A244b

I think so too. Mine are on the same build number not the reported 7A5244b… Weird

According to many people on the other end of my calls, no they haven’t. It says it in control center, but it does not apply to the AirPods. It does work on the phone itself.

I don’t think it works with any external speaker, which the AirPods count as.

For me it also works for AirPods Pro 2 with the current release versions, but it might be dependent on the iOS device. I use an iPhone 15 Pro here. I think the voice isolation was done inside the iOS device for now. So you have voice isolation on a system level for a call directly on the phone's earpiece, AirPods Max, AirPods Pro 2 (maybe more...) and also when using a Jabra Perform 45 Bluetooth headset.

What Apple is changing now is quite interesting. To me it seems that they can implement the logic now inside the AirPods' H2 chip. So far so good, but it keep's exciting what the benefit for the user will be. (If you use the AirPods with non-Apple devices maybe...Or even better quality due to access to several mics...)

And if you connect them to an Apple TV, you have to use the remote to go to the settings to adjust the volume.

No you don't. You can adjust the TV volume on the stems just like any other connected device.

Can anyone confirm the build number please?

7A244b

Thanks. I think the typo and the added 5 comes from a tweet from a dude that “leaked” the number and got it close bit not exactly right

Installed X code on MBP. Enabled developer mode. Rebooted. Now I'm waiting to see if they will update.

my Airpods Pro 2 keep stuck on 7A220e and my Max even on 6Asomething... although I've enabled the beta updates in the developer menu...
Any suggestions how to fix that?

Hi - does anyone know if these new features will be available for all versions of the AirPod Pros (even Version 1), which I believe is on a H1, not H2, chip

I keep getting the same question on Reddit. I finally updated mine, but it is 7A244b as well. On the Apple Developer site, the official build is listed as 7A5244b.

I have the 2nd Gen with Lightning case, and I'm in Canada. So I wonder if the difference is the specific model and/or the region?

To get developer mode to appear, you have to plug your iPhone into a Mac running the latest beta version of Xcode.
You don’t have to do anything from there, you just have to plug it in and make sure that it’s trusted.

You also need to open Apple Configurator which comes with Xcode. Apple configurator must be running. and sync your phone

Not from my experience, literally all you have to do is open Xcode.app and nothing else, and it just appears.
My phone has never been synced with my computer, and Apple configurator was not open.

When might this be public? Long wait....
