Today, Apple has released a new firmware update for AirPods 2, AirPods 3, AirPods Pro 1, and AirPods Max. Additionally, the company has also released its latest firmware update for AirTags. If you happen to own any of the listed products above, you can install the latest firmware updates right now.
Apple Seeds 5B58 Firmware Version to AirPods 2, AirPods 3, AirPods Pro 1, and AirPods Max
Apple's latest firmware update for its AirPods lineup is version 5B58, an update from the previous 4E71 firmware. The latter update was released back in May. As for what is new, it is too early to ask as Apple has not made the release notes available at this point. However, the 5B58 update was released for the AirPods Pro 2 last week that included "bug fixes and performance improvements." Apple will update its support page with the latest additions.
If you are willing to install the latest firmware update on your compatible AirPods, there is no clear way of doing so. This is because the update is installed over the air when the AirPods are connected to an iOS device. Check out what you should do.

Step 2: Connect the AirPods to a power source.
Step 3: Pair the AirPods with an iPhone or an iPad.
This is all that you have to do to download and install the latest firmware update on AirPods. The update will be installed automatically in a short while. If you are unsure if your AirPods are running the latest firmware update, see how you can check.

AirTags Firmware Update
