Apple Releases New 7E108 Firmware for AirPods Max (USB-C)
Share
Apple has quietly released a new firmware update (7E108) for the AirPods Max with USB-C, replacing the previous 7E101 version that arrived in April 2025. While Apple hasn’t detailed specific changes, the update notes simply mention “bug fixes and other improvements.”
That said, the April release was a notable one — adding lossless audio support and ultra-low latency capabilities, features that were well received by audiophiles and gamers alike. This latest version is likely a refinement of that rollout.
