As the number of people using wireless earphones increases, the number of users using Airpods has also increased significantly. An update is recommended if you have a problem with your wireless earphones or if you want to use more features. Basically, it is automatically updated through a series of charging and pairing processes. Let’s start with Airpods 1 and find out how to use them with the latest update for all AirPods2, AirPods3, AirPods Pro and Airpod Max users. Updates are not frequent and short-lived, but they often contain general performance improvements or bug fixes in one update. We also recommend that users of AirPods keep up to date with the latest firmware, as new features are introduced from time to time.
Preliminaries
Research the latest version in advance
Before using the latest version of AirPods firmware, start by looking at other users’ reviews. The functional part may have improved, but it is necessary to check whether it does not bring another bug or performance degradation problem. You can use the community, YouTube, and SNS.
If there are many negative opinions
If the user’s feedback is negative, it is not necessary to perform the update. Sometimes you want to downgrade because of a bug, but one way is to hold off the update and wait until it stabilizes.
