Last month Apple released a firmware update for its new flagship product: AirTag. The update included important new features related to "Lost Mode" in order to prevent malicious behavior on the part of users. However, a few minutes ago Apple has released a new version of the update released a few weeks ago. In other words, the update and improvements have been added under a new build number. Being an update of version 1.0.276 released a few days ago, it is impossible to know which version we have installed on our AirTags, They differ only in build number.
Apple releases a new version of the AirTag update
The context in which we find ourselves is that it does just 2 weeks Apple released version 1.0.276 of the AirTag firmware. This version included improvements related to "Lost Mode" with the aim that users do not try the device to follow people. In fact, the news of this new version came with the announcement that Apple was working on an app for Android with the aim of avoiding this type of use.
However, a few minutes ago Apple released a new version of update 1.0.276 with a different build number than the previous one. The new version has the code 1A287b while the old version had the number 1A276d. But all AirTag users can rest assured as the version is the same and no big news is included, otherwise Apple would have released a new global update. In addition, since it is not a different version, we cannot know what version of the firmware we have in our AirTag referencing the build code.
What we can know is if we have the latest version installed in our AirTag by opening the Search app and selecting the AirTag in question. If you do not have version 1.0.276 installed, when it is connected to a Wi-Fi network it will update automatically. It is expected that this new version does not include significant news, but we will keep you informed.
