Key Points:
- Apple has released a new AirPods beta firmware (build 9A5314b) for public testers, covering AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3, AirPods 4, and AirPods Max 2 models.
- The public beta firmware matches the third developer beta released last week and enables new features introduced in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS Golden Gate, including a new AirPods interface, an Adaptive mode slider, and custom EQ support.
- The firmware also adds compatibility with the new Siri AI when AirPods are connected to devices running iOS 26, iPadOS 26, or macOS 26 or later.
- Users can opt into the beta firmware through a toggle in the AirPods settings on compatible Apple devices, with updates installed by connecting AirPods to power and the device, though installation may take several hours.
