Apple used to release quick firmware updates for the AirTags without informing its customers about it. You will be surprised that your tracker already has the latest firmware version.
To date, the company has not yet revealed what are the new changes for the new firmware version. Usually, Apple does not provide any details about the release notes when it comes to this, although it used to release important changes when iOS firmware updates launched.
What we know so far is that the most common changes for this update are all about bug fixes, interface stability improvement, and performance enhancement.
How to Update Your AirTag to the Latest Firmware Version?
Since it's always a surprise for every AirTag user to see the newest firmware update for their tracking wearable, there's no telling how to manually update this device to the latest version.
As iMore reports, there is no exact way to do this. The most ideal thing you need to do is to make sure that your AirTag is near your iPhone so the update will push through.
However, there's a way to check if the firmware version is up and running on your AirTag. First, you need to open your Find My App from your iPhone. Then, click on the Items tab. From here, select the AirTag you wish to update, and don't forget to specify its name on your device.
At the same time, Apple has reportedly released firmware updates to AirPods Max, AirPods Pro, and the standard AirPods, as well on the same date.
