Okay so I got AirPods Pro’s recently and I’ve checked the serial number they are real I’ve reset them and I’ve done what it has said with plugging it in and putting it next to my phone but still isn’t working and it says the firmware is 3a283 which is apparently a year old and my phone is updated to iOS 15 what do I do?
What has worked for me:
Connect iPhone to wifi and a charger.
Connect Airpods case to charger.
Connect Airpods to phone, listen to something for over a minute.
Place Airpods back in case, close lid
Put phone down next to Airpods.
Go away for at least 20 minutes.
Watch some squirrels play, walk around the block, contemplate your bellybutton lint.

AirPods Pro firmware is automatically installed over-the-air while the AirPods Pro are connected to an iOS/iPadOS device.
I've read that putting the AirPods Pro in the case, connecting the AirPods to a power source, and pairing the AirPods Pro to an iPhone/iPad should force the firmware update.
Hi kristopher190,
We see you have some concerns regarding the firmware of your AirPods. The firmware should update automatically when paired to your iPhone. Since you're still noticing outdated firmware, you can reach out for additional support here: Get Support
Take care.
How does one find out what the current firmware is in order to know if the version you have is up to date? :-)
