Earlier this week alongside iOS 26’s launch, Apple debuted new AirPods firmware that includes support for seven brand new features.
That firmware build was 8A356, but now Apple has released a slightly updated version for AirPods Pro 3.
AirPods Pro 3’s new firmware build is 8A357.
It’s not expected that this new firmware will include any noticeable differences for users.
However, Apple likely discovered a bug in the previous firmware that needed addressing for its latest AirPods model.
