Sorry. In all the years I’ve been on here that has never been suggested.

Because it doesn't work 😂

I know that. Was just trying not to be mean to the newbie.

Yes.

I don't think this is true.

If you want to update quickly, connect your airpods pro with a cable to your iPhone, wait a moment and you will get the update

Does this actually work? I remember this was a way to update the firmware of a MagSafe puck....attach it to an iPad or Mac USB-C port. Does it work for AirPods?

Tried the normal ways to do a quick update but nothing so far. Even connecting to my MBP didn’t envoke the update

I just put my case on my Apple Watch charger which was on 49%, opened lid and closed it again.
When it got to 53% I had a look and it was updated to 7A294

You need to unenroll from the AirPods firmware beta, not the iOS 18 beta.

I think my lightning case got updated to 65.3.0 from 54.xx I believe. But my Airpods are still stuck on 6F8. Anyone elses case get updated?

Apparently WiFi isn’t needed. Plugged my AirPods Pro 2 in at work where I’m only on cellular, and an hour later my AirPods were updated. Nice.

What I have started doing is putting the AP2's in my ear, listen to a song for like 30 seconds, take them out and put them back in the case, then plugging them up to my MBP. After 30-45 minutes they're updated. Still a dreadfully bad way of updating, but it reliably works.

My lightning case is 70.88.0

 

[jarman92]

How so?

If you don't know what I'm talking about it's safe to say you aren't enrolled in the AirPods beta lol. It's a separate, convoluted process.

It works 100%

which two devices do you connect together to get this to work?

 

[upandown]

New case firmware is 70.88.0

Left the AirPods in the case but open, plugged in to my Mac. After about 30 minutes it was updated!

Wait, what? MagSafe chargers have firmware updates? What a time to be alive!

Wait what? I tried updating my AirPods Pro 2 but now my AirPods seems they are on the 6F8 version but the case shows 70.88.0 like yours on the latest 7A294 🤔 I’m confused I tried resetting them but it doesn’t change I’ll try to update them again ig. Edit: they just updated, (Version 7A294, Case 70.88.0)

100%

 

[zorinlynx]

Anyone notice any functional changes with this update on iOS 17?

 

[jbachandouris]

Tried un enrolling beta. Direct connect to iPhone. Case upgraded. AirPods Pro did not. Over an hour so far.
