I've lost my Beats Fit Pro charging case about 6 months ago and I replaced it with a generic one from Amazon, and it has worked surprisingly well for charging the earbuds.

My question is, is the genuine case required for the firmware upgrade to complete? The 6F8 update came out about a week ago, and I've tried a number of times to trigger the update, and it remains at 6B27.

They work fine for the moment, but I'm worried that if Apple makes some changes to iOS that requires newer updates to work properly that I'll be stuck.
