Apple releases new Beats Fit Pro and PowerBeats Pro wireless headset firmware 5B66

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen RTCs for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, May 3, Apple today (the morning of May 3, Beijing time) released a new firmware update for Beats Fit Pro and Powerbeats Pro wireless headphones with the latest firmware version 5B66, higher than the 5B55 firmware released in November 2022.

Apple officially did not provide information on what was included in the updated firmware for Beats Fit Pro and Powerbeats Pro wireless headphones, so it is not clear exactly what the improvements will be.

In terms of upgrades, users can usually install firmware through OTA when the headset is connected to the iOS device. CTOnews.com friends can put Beats in a charging box, connect them to power, and then pair them with iPhone or iPad, which should be updated forcefully after a short period of time.
