Apple recently released fresh firmware for the AirTag, its compact tracker. This update marks the first update since October and promises improvements in performance and possibly bug fixes.
The AirTag, an innovative addition to Apple's lineup, has proven to be a useful device for finding lost items. Since its launch, Apple has continuously worked on its firmware to improve the user experience and fix potential issues. The recent firmware version 2.0.73 brings potential optimizations that could make the AirTag even more effective.
Step-by-step distribution and automatic installation: Update process in detail
The new firmware version 2.0.73 for the AirTag is being rolled out gradually around the world. Similar to previous updates, the rollout will be done in small increments, with about one percent of AirTags receiving the update on day one. This percentage will increase over the course of several weeks until all devices have received the firmware. Apple has not shared specific details about the changes in the firmware, but it is believed that they are mostly bug fixes and performance improvements. This is likely given that the AirTag itself offers relatively limited features. The firmware update will happen automatically once the AirTag is within Bluetooth range of an iPhone running iOS 14.5 or later. Users will not need to take any manual steps to install the update.
Apple's Commitment to Innovation: Continuous Improvements for the AirTag
The release of the new firmware version 2.0.73 for the AirTag underscores Apple's commitment to continuous improvement and usability. Although the exact details of the update are unknown, users can expect their AirTags to be even more reliable and efficient thanks to this firmware iteration. Looking for new accessories?
