Overview
- Apple began rolling out firmware build 8B34 for AirPods Pro 3 on January 13 via its automatic update process.
- The update replaces version 8B30 from last month, and no other AirPods models received new firmware.
- Apple’s public notes list only “bug fixes and other improvements,” and a detailed changelog was not published.
- Some users report stronger Active Noise Cancellation after updating, though Apple has not confirmed specific fixes.
- To update and verify, keep the case plugged in and closed near a paired, up‑to‑date device for about 30 minutes, then check the firmware in Bluetooth settings; if it fails, reset the AirPods or seek service.
