Apple recently announced that lossless audio and ultra low latency features would be available for AirPods Max with USB-C. This was exciting news for users as the headphones had lagged behind the AirPods Pro in new features. However, the rollout of the necessary firmware update, version 7E99, has been postponed due to a potential error causing detection issues in iOS and macOS. In addition, a new USB-C to 3.5mm cable was introduced, which works without needing an update. The process for updating AirPods remains opaque, suggesting a need for better user options.
Apple's announcement of lossless audio and ultra low latency for AirPods Max with USB-C was unexpected, but a firmware snag is delaying rollout.
Reportedly, the delay in firmware version 7E99 for AirPods Max may be due to an error in the update file that affects detection.
Apple’s new USB-C to 3.5mm cable for AirPods Max works without firmware updates, providing connectivity to traditional headphone jacks.
Apple should consider implementing a manual update option for AirPods, as current background updates lack user control, unlike competitors.
