Apple releases new AirPods 4 firmware
AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation charge using a USB-C charging cable, Qi-certified charger, or Apple Watch charger.
Apple has released a new firmware update for all AirPods 4 models. This update, with build number 7B19, is an upgrade from the previous 7A304 firmware released in September.
While the specific details of the new firmware remain undisclosed, it is available for both the standard AirPods 4 and the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation. This marks the second firmware update for the AirPods 4 since their launch earlier this year.
Recently, Apple introduced Hearing Health capabilities to the AirPods Pro 2, including a hearing test, hearing protection, and hearing aid functionality. Both the AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 share the 7B19 firmware, but it’s important to note that hearing aid functionality is exclusive to the AirPods Pro 2.
AirPods firmware updates are typically installed over-the-air when the AirPods are in their charging case and connected to an iOS device or Mac. Manual firmware updates are not supported by Apple.
