Apple officially pushes firmware update 3E751 for AirPods Pro and AirPods 2
Earlier, Apple quietly released firmware update 3E751 for AirPods Pro and AirPods 2. Taking AirPods Pro as an example, the previous version was 3A283. Although Apple did not officially explain the update content of AirPods in this update, looking back at the update content of Apple’s macOS 11.3 in the past few days, it mentioned the following two corrections:
- The AirPods audio path is sent to the incorrect device for automatic switching.
- AirPods auto-switching notifications may be missing or duplicated.
Since this update is targeted at headphones that support “auto switching” such as AirPods Pro and AirPods 2, which allow users to switch playback between iPhones and other devices such as Mac computers and iPads, it is speculated that this 3E751 firmware update should also correct the above two points. If you are an AirPods Max user, you might as well check whether you have also received the 3E751 firmware update!
