So I am having trouble connecting my AirPods to my iPhone and I searched it it sayed that it should have a firmware but I have a diffferent one that is 0B896a
and I don’t know if they are real even though I checked the serial numbers and they were correct
Seems the firmware only updates if they are connected to a Mac or Apple device which is updated to the latest OS version. About firmware updates for AirPods - Apple Support
If you are using older hardware / software, you might have to make an appointment and take them to an Apple Store for help if you want the firmware to update. It can be done quickly using a Mac.
Tip: To update AirPods firmware using an iPhone with the latest iOS 17 version installed:
Leave AirPods connected to power overnight with the iPhone connected to wi-fi close by,
so they can update automatically

How do I connect them to the charger and my phone at the same time they disconnect if it do. I’m on a iPhone se
The way I understand it, the AirPods connect to iPhone using bluetooth ...
yet the update comes via the iPhone using wi-fi. (ie: not the bluetooth connection).
My AirPods won’t update the firmware passed 0B896a and I checked the serial numbers and they all match up with the ones provided
