Apple has pushed a new firmware version for users of the AirPods 2, AirPods 3, AirPods Pro, AirPods Pro 2, and AirPods Max, bringing unspecified bug fixes and other improvements to the earbuds and headphones, which will update automatically when they are charging and are within range of an iPhone, iPad, or Mac that is connected to Wi-Fi.
The firmware update sees the AirPods go from version 5B59 to 5E133, with the release notes simply stating that the new update delivers bug fixes and other improvements, although it isn’t clear what those bug fixes and other improvements relate to.
