The topic Apple rolling out new AirTag 2 firmware update is currently the subject of lively discussion — readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.
This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies’ decisions and competitors’ reactions can quickly change the picture.
Up until today, Apple had released only a single firmware update for the AirTag 2 since its January launch. Now, a second firmware version is rolling out to owners of Apple’s tracking device. Here are the details.
As spotted by MacRumors, Apple is rolling out firmware version 3.0.49 to the AirTag 2.
Today’s update to the AirTag 2’s firmware comes after Apple rolled out firmware version 3.0.45 last March, which in turn came two months after the product’s release.
As is often the case with fresh firmware updates, there are still no details on what this one might include.
Firmware version 3.0.45, however, updated the unwanted tracking sound “to more easily locate an unknown AirTag during Precision Finding,” along with the usual, unspecific “bug fixes and other improvements.”
Apple will likely update the “What’s new in firmware updates for AirTag” support page sooner rather than later, and we will update this post once the company releases more information.
For now, here’s how you can check the firmware version on your AirTag, per Apple’s own official guide:
As a reminder, Apple currently doesn’t offer a way to install the update manually.
