Hey Everyone!

Starting in 2025, we hope to maintain this list more frequently and provide a lasting resource for you to see some of the key firmware updates delivered throughout the year to your devices.

As a reminder, this is a project from our community team and requires us to review each firmware update – please consider this when asking for updates and confirming compatibility – the most accurate and official notes will always be on your device’s support page – we may be able to reach out for compatibility, but it is not often readily available.

 

• Not All Hardware Versions of a Model Are Guaranteed to Receive a Feature or Update.
  • Check Your Device’s Download Page for Hardware Version Compatibility
• Only Models and Updates with significant changes or additions were included in our overview
• Minor and General Bug Fixes Were Largely Left Out of Our Firmware Highlights
• We Likely Missed a Few Models, Features, or Hardware Versions – Make Sure to Check Your Device’s Download Page for the Most Accurate and Recent Patch Notes from the Source
