How to update your Apple AirPods and AirPods Pro

First, your AirPods must be in the charging case. In second place, charging case must be connected to power. This can be done with the included Lightning cable or with a Qi charger (where appropriate).

Finally, your AirPods should be near your paired iPhone or iPad. As long as your phone or tablet is connected to the internet, will transfer and install any firmware updates on your headphones.

How to find your firmware version

To check the firmware version of your AirPods, you will need to connect them to your iPhone or iPad first. You can do this by simply lifting the lid of the charging case. But since you don't want to keep the top open during this whole procedure, We suggest you take out a button and put it on your ear.

With your paired AirPods connected to your phone or tablet, open the app “Setting” on your iPhone or iPad. Use Apple's built-in Spotlight search feature to find the app if you can't locate it on your home screen.
