Apple releases a new version of AirTag firmware 1.0.276

Last month, Apple released a firmware update for its new flagship: AirTag. The update included important new features related to “Lost Mode” to prevent malicious behavior from users. However, a few minutes ago Apple released a new version of the update released a few weeks ago. That is, the update has been revised and improvements have been added under a new build number. Being an update to 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 the build number.

Apple releases new version of AirTag update

The context in which we find ourselves is that Barely 2 weeks ago, Apple released version 1.0.276 of the AirTag firmware. This version included improvements related to “Lost Mode” so that users would not try the device to track people. Indeed, the news of this new version came with the announcement that Apple was working on an application for Android in order to avoid this type of use.

However, a few minutes ago Apple has released a new version of update 1.0.276 with a different build number from the previous one. The new version carries the code 1A287b while the old one carries the number 1A276d. But all AirTag users can be reassured because the version is the same and no big news is included,

otherwise Apple would have released a new global update. Also, since it is not a different version, we cannot know what firmware version we have in our AirTag reference the building code.

What we can find out is if we have the latest version installed in our AirTag by opening the search app and selecting the AirTag in question. If version 1.0.276 is not installed, when connected to a Wi-Fi network, it updates automatically. It is expected that this new version will not include any significant new features, but we will keep you informed.
