Apple has announced new firmware for 2nd generation AirPods Pro users ahead of the launch of iOS 18, MacRumors reports.
The system was released simultaneously for USB-C and Lightning versions of the headphones. The firmware received the build number 7A294. The previous version of the software was 6F8.
As for the list of changes, Apple has added many new features to AirPods Pro 2 with the update. For example, head gestures to control Siri. When you receive a call, you can shake your head if you don't want to answer or nod to accept the call.
In addition, the update includes Voice Isolation, which isolates the voice during calls, as well as spatial sound in games.
All of these innovations will start working immediately after you update your iPhone to iOS 18.
By the way, Apple does not have the ability to update the AirPods software manually, but the firmware is usually installed on the device over the air when the AirPods are in the charging case and connected to an iPhone or Mac.
