New Public Beta Firmware for AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3, and AirPods 4

Apple today released a new public beta firmware for the AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3, and AirPods 4. The firmware is currently limited to developers and public beta testers and carries the build number 8B5034f. Apple initially made this firmware available last week, but at that time it was restricted to developers only.

Apple has also begun testing iOS 26.4, so the new firmware may include features related to the iOS 26.4 beta.

With the release of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe, Apple added a beta‑firmware installation option that appears in the AirPods settings interface when the AirPods are connected to an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. This option makes it easier for developers and public beta testers to enable beta downloads.
