How To Update AirPods (Yes, You Have To Update Them!)

How can you tell whether your AirPods actually received an update? Trevor Nace's tutorial ends with a useful check: open their information page in Bluetooth settings, find the firmware version and compare it with Apple's support page for that model.

That small maintenance job has brought an unusually large audience to "How To Update AirPods (Yes, You Have To Update Them!)". The video reached about 58,000 views in nine hours, already far beyond the usual first-day audience for his short tutorials.

Despite the title's hands-on wording, Nace demonstrates how to prepare for an automatic update, rather than tapping a button to install one. He checks the iPhone's software, switches on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, then plugs the AirPods case into a charger and opens it to connect beside the phone. He recommends leaving the AirPods charging nearby while the update happens.

The distinction is also the main talking point in the comments. Several viewers emphasize that firmware installs in the background; others want Apple to provide an update button instead of leaving them waiting. One describes an update taking days, rather than the short wait Nace suggests.

For anyone unsure whether the waiting worked, the tutorial's most concrete answer comes near the end: checking the installed version against Apple's model-by-model list.
