Honestly, what the actual EXPLETIVE with these mystery airpod updates? You have no control over getting them–none–and you can’t know what they’re for. This from the company that markets consumer privacy as a core value. “Hey, we’re going to install firmware updates on your devices, not give you an opt out choice, not tell you when it will happen and not tell you the purpose of the updates.”

It would be nice to know what got ‘fixed’ or ‘improved’ or what features got changed or removed, and would also be nice if Apple would stick to their own guidelines and not use “bug fixes and other improvements” as update messages.
