AirPods Pro 2 with AirPods Pro firmware?

Upgraded my AirPods Pro with the 2nd generation. For some reason the new ones have 6A300 firmware & will not update to 6A301.


Any ideal how to resolve?


thanks

Updating AirPods:


A. What's the Port-Type?:

Only lightning-port AirPods can use 6A301. See here: About Firmware Updates for AirPods - Apple Support


B. Pushing AirPod Updates:

Unfortunately, your cannot push AirPod updates. So, pair these to a device that is already connected to the Internet, and they will be updated automatically, sure enough. This is because AirPods are not assigned their own IP Address.
