Keeping track of your AirPods firmware version is crucial, and fortunately, it's a simple process:
Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

Updating Your AirPods Firmware
Unlike some other devices, you can't manually update your AirPods firmware. Apple handles the updates automatically in the background. Here's how it works:
When your AirPods are charging, and within Bluetooth range of your iPhone, iPad, or Mac connected to Wi-Fi, the latest firmware will automatically download and install.
You can also use your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to verify that your AirPods have the latest firmware.
For those seeking a more detailed explanation of the process, you can visit Apple's website, which provides a comprehensive breakdown of AirPods firmware updates.
It's important to remember that while these silent updates might seem insignificant, they are crucial for ensuring that your AirPods continue to function seamlessly and deliver the best possible user experience.
