Beats Pill Receives Its First Firmware Update
The Beats Pill has undergone its inaugural firmware update since its launch.
Overview of the New Firmware Release
Apple has announced a significant firmware update for the most recent model of the Beats Pill, though specifics regarding what the update entails are yet to be disclosed.
What Changed in this Update?
The latest firmware version has been upgraded to 2C336 from its predecessor 2C289 that originally came with the product. While Apple generally refrains from publishing detailed release notes concerning Beats updates, users can likely expect enhancements relating to bug fixes and overall performance improvements instead of any notable new features.
Evolving Audio Technology
This latest model of the Beats Pill was introduced in June 2024, marking twelve years since the debut of its original version. It boasts superior sound quality while preserving familiar design elements and iconic pill shape seen in previous iterations. The newly designed Beats Pill takes over from the now-discontinued Beats Pill+, which Apple retired in January 2022.
Seamless Updates for Users
A key difference between Beats audio accessories and many other Apple products is that there is no manual method for software updates; instead, these updates are automatically applied without user intervention or notification. The process occurs quietly in the background.
Checking Your Firmware Version
If you’re using an iPhone or iPad, you can easily view your device’s firmware version by navigating to Settings > Bluetooth and tapping on the Info button next to your connected Beats device. For those using macOS Ventura or newer versions, access System Settings > Bluetooth and select Info next to your accessory.

Updating on Android Devices
