How to get the latest AirTag firmware: It might test your patience!
Like the AirPods firmware updates, you don’t get an update menu to manage the download process. It happens over the air through your paired iPhone, and everything is automatic. However, there is one thing you can surely do; take out the AirTags from your bag, wallet, or other places and keep them near your iPhone for some time. Usually, the firmware update takes around 15-20 mins. However, there is no guarantee or hacks to quicken this process. So, you might have to be patient with it and keep trying until you succeed. Most of the time, Apple is thoughtful and insightful with its OS and devices, and I love it for this. But at times like these, the tech giant misses. Why can’t we force an update or at least receive a notification if a firmware update is available? What are your thoughts on the matter?
