Apple Launches New Firmware Update for AirPods Max
Today, Apple has introduced an updated firmware version 6F25 for the Lightning AirPods Max headphones, upgrading from the previous version 6F21. This latest update continues to enhance the audio experience of these high-end headphones.

To install the update on your AirPods Max, ensure they are within Bluetooth range of a Wi-Fi-connected device such as an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Then simply connect them to a power source; the update process may take up to half an hour.
Checking Your Firmware Version
If you’re wondering whether your firmware is up-to-date, navigate through Settings > Bluetooth on your iPhone or iPad. Select the Info button next to your AirPods Max when connected—this will display their current firmware version.
