Apple has started rolling out a new version of the AirTag firmware, the first update since last October. This way you can check which version you have and ensure that the update is installed quickly.
Apple is releasing an update for your AirTag
The new firmware version of the AirTag being rolled out is firmware 2.0.73 (2A73). It is an improved version of the previous firmware version 2.0.61, which was released in October with ‘bug fixes and other improvements’.
Nothing is known yet about what’s new in this new update for your AirTag. Apple has one support page with information about what’s new in firmware updates for AirTag, but that web page is not updated at this time.
This is how you check your AirTag firmware version
Do you want to know whether the update has already been installed on your AirTag? Then simply check the firmware version of your AirTag. On your iPhone, open the ‘Find My’ app and then tap the ‘Objects’ tab at the bottom. Choose the AirTag from the list of items and then tap the name of your AirTag. Then scroll down and there you will find the serial number and firmware version of your AirTag.
The new update of the AirTag firmware has not yet been rolled out everywhere, so there is a chance that you will still see version 2.0.61 here. It is not possible to perform the update manually. All you can do is keep your iPhone nearby. The update will then eventually be installed automatically.
Do you not have an AirTag yet, but would you like to purchase one? Then we have the best deals for you below.
Nowadays you can also buy similar devices at stores such as Kruidvat and Action. These will of course not receive any updates from Apple, but you often pay a lot less for such a ‘fake’ AirTag. Curious about these alternatives? Then see here where you can get cheaper trackers with support for ‘Find My’.
A real AirTag is more expensive, but the location is also updated more often and can be seen more accurately. This way you can be sure that your keys, suitcase or wallet will never be lost again! Moreover, there are even updates for it.
