Apple on Thursday released new beta firmware for the AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3, and AirPods 4 wireless earbuds. The firmware is currently only available to developers, and carries a build number of 8B5014c.
The firmware beta comes as Apple is beta testing iOS 26.1. The new beta likely adds support for Live Translation in new languages, including Japanese, Korean, Italian, and Chinese (both Mandarin Traditional and Simplified).
With iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe, Apple has added a beta firmware update installation option in the AirPods settings interface. Developers can use the beta option to enable beta downloads.
