Last week, Apple's servers released a firmware update for the AirPods Pro, an update with which the firmware of the noise-canceling AirPods reached version 2D15. A few days later, Apple has launched a new firmware update for second generation AirPods.
The firmware version available for the second-generation AirPods is the same as the one released last week: 2D15. In the case of the AirPods Pro, that firmware version in theory improved the operation of noise cancellation, although many users claim that they have hardly noticed any change.
The second generation AirPods do not have noise cancellation technology, so we do not know what are the news that have come from the hand of this new update. This update will most likely include performance improvements, bug fixes, and feature tweaks.
To update your second generation AirPods you do not have to do absolutely anything, since it is an automatic process that is made with these are in the charging case, so we just have to wait for them to update automatically.
Last December, Apple released the 2C54 firmware for the second-generation AirPods, a version that was withdrawn from the market shortly afterSo if your AirPods didn't update in time, the firmware version is most likely 2A364.
According to various rumors, Apple has begun the manufacturing process of the third generation of AirPods, a third generation that would be launched later this year, and at the moment it seems that it will not include any important new features in terms of functionality.
