A few days after releasing a firmware update for almost all AirPods models, Apple has issued a new version of AirPods Pro 2 firmware. At the moment, it’s unclear what’s new with this update. However, it could be related to the new hearing aid features expected to be released next week.
Today’s build is 7B19, up from 7A305, released in September. This version comes a week after Apple accidentally released a beta firmware to all AirPods Pro 2 owners.
With the iOS 18.1 release, AirPods Pro 2 owners will be able to use these earbuds as hearing aid devices. Apple says this update will add the first “all-in-one hearing health experience” that focuses on prevention, awareness, and assistance.
Prevention: The ear tips help to provide passive noise reduction, while the H2 chip helps to actively reduce louder, more intermittent noise at 48,000 times per second.
