As I have posted, this doesn’t bring it. I am running 15.0.1 and have the firmware update. It’s not there.
Do the AirPods need to be in the case and on charge for it to find the update?
I have them on charge, it shows connected, but no update option. Using iPhone 13 Pro Max on 15.0.1 with AirPod Pro
Agreed. It seems random if, when sitting at my iMac, they pair to it or my iPhone when I put a pod in to answer a call on the phone.
1. plug the case in the charger (wait till it’s >50%, probably), 2. leave the case opened, 3. go to BT settings, make sure AirPods are connected (maybe try reconnect anyway).
I’ve done all that, it still is showing 3E751. I wonder if iOS 15.0.1 has prevented it from updating?
I’m on iPadOS 15.1 beta and can’t see it either. Maybe it is iOS 15.1 beta you’re on dfwiddoc?

I have Airpods Pro, Max and a PowerBeats Pro. The Max updated fine on 15.0.1. But the other two - nothng after two hours.
I’m going to try my old iPhone 8 and see if it picks it up. Definitely not working on 13 Pro Max & AirPod Pro. It’s still connected and on charge no update.
Tried all that no luck, model A2084, version 3A283, iOS 15.1

Have you tried leaving the settings in backround? I switched to YT or Safari, and it was updated in a minute. Is your phone battery over 50%? I can only guess what’s holding the update, could be Apple’s servers, time zone, region..
new headphones update and not one person has mentioned anything about sound quality lol thats the most important part, has it been improved?
Done in thirty seconds on iPhone 8

Then I’ll say it, transparency is the a little less background noise. Noise cancellation a little improvement, better balance no improved separation. Spatialize stereo improved. Try the original YouTube recording, 1975 official video of Bruce’s Glory Days.
Apple keep delaying features conversation boost was in the beta now it’s removed
Did you get some kind of prompt to update the firmware? I have followed all the instructions, nothing. Tried disconnecting and reconnecting via BT, nothing. Tried rebooting my iPhone Xr (iOS 15.0.1), reconnecting via BT, nothing.
The headphones are in the case, the case is opened and plugged into a wall charger.
I made sure that software updates are all enabled on the iPhone and have tried waiting in both the Settings->General->About->Powerbeats Pro screen, as well as the BT info screen for the Powerbeats Pro.
It just sits at:
Model: A2048
Firmware: 3A283
Hardware: 1.0.0
Not sure what else to try.
Pro’s updated instantly as soon as I plugged them in. By the time I got to the Bluetooth/APP page I had the new version.
Edit: Case to 1.3.5 too.

Are you on 15.1 or 15.0.1. I'm looking to see what in "Find My" if the left behind function shows "Not Supported? Mine shows "On" but it also shows not supported.
I tried soon after I heard about the update, plugged in the AirPods > confirmed they were paired > left the case open > timed it, if took 28 minutes for the AirPods to request, find, download, and update. You will receive no prompt, or progress bar. Checked back every 5 minutes or so and it was done.
