Apple has rolled out a new firmware update that enables users to track the precise location of their AirPods Max and AirPods Pro, using the company's latest "Find My" features.

AirPods users could already view the location where their headphones were last paired with their iPhone, and trigger an (annoying) noise should they end up down the back of a sofa.

Now, users can get notifications when they leave their pricey products in a coffee shop – and view their exact location. There's also Lost Mode, which lets millions of other iPhone, iPads and iMacs with Bluetooth help locate your missing AirPods Pro or AirPods Max if they are within Bluetooth range of another Apple device.

You can download the 4A400 version of the firmware now, but the new "Find My" features are only compatible with AirPods Pro and AirPods Max.
