Overview
- The releases replace October’s 8A358 firmware on all three models.
- Apple has not posted detailed notes yet, which historically default to bug fixes and other improvements.
- Updates install automatically when AirPods are in the case near a paired device on Wi‑Fi with the case connected to power for at least 30 minutes.
- iOS 26.2 remains in beta with a December public launch expected, and reports suggest the firmware may support that update’s EU Live Translation feature.
- Apple is expected to update its support page with official firmware details after this quiet release.
