  "textContent": "Apple today released new beta firmware for the AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3, and AirPods 4. The firmware is limited to developers at the current time, and it has a build number of 8B5034f.\n\n\nApple is not testing any iOS updates right now, so it is unclear what's in the AirPods firmware beta.\n\nWith iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe, Apple added a beta firmware update installation option that's available from the AirPods settings interface when the AirPods are connected to an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, which facilitates beta testing.\n\nDevelopers can use the beta option to turn on beta downloads.\nThis article, \"Apple Releases New Beta Firmware for AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods 4\" first appeared on MacRumors.com\n\nDiscuss this article in our forums\n\n",
