Apple today released new beta firmware for the AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3, and AirPods 4, with build number 8B5034f. The update is currently limited to developers and comes as Apple isn't testing any iOS updates at the moment, making the firmware's contents unclear.

With iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe, Apple introduced a beta firmware update installation option accessible through the AirPods settings interface when connected to an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. This new feature streamlines the beta testing process for developers.

Developers can enable beta downloads through the settings, allowing them to test upcoming features and improvements before public release. This marks Apple's continued expansion of beta testing capabilities across its ecosystem, following similar programs for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
