Apple has been consistently releasing beta firmware updates for its AirPods alongside major iOS releases. With iOS 18, this trend continues, bringing new features to enhance the AirPods experience. Each year, Apple introduces new features for AirPods to align with the latest iOS release. This year, users can expect hands-free Siri interactions and voice isolation, among other enhancements. Unlike iPhone updates, AirPods firmware updates are discreetly installed in the background. While users can check the firmware version, the updates are automatically downloaded to the AirPods on their own schedule. For beta firmware updates, users must opt-in to receive them. This involves following specific steps to ensure compatibility and understanding that beta versions may come with issues. How to Install AirPods Pro Beta Firmware Apple To install the AirPods beta firmware, users must be part of the Apple Developer Program and have the latest iOS 18 beta installed on their iPhone. The process involves utilizing Xcode 16 beta and enabling Developer Mode on the iPhone. Once Developer Mode is activated, users can access the Developer section in the Settings app to enable AirPods beta firmware. The update will be automatically installed in the background when the AirPods are near the iPhone. After the beta firmware is installed, users can explore new features like Head Gestures and enhanced audio settings. Voice Isolation is also expanded to provide a better listening experience. Comment Overall, installing beta firmware on AirPods Pro can enhance the user experience with innovative features and improvements.
