Overview
- Apple has begun distributing firmware version 3.0.49 to second‑generation AirTag owners and this is the device’s second update since its launch.
- Apple has not published details about what 3.0.49 changes and will post specifics on its AirTag firmware support page when it is updated.
- AirTag updates install over the air through a paired iPhone, cannot be manually forced, and users can check a tracker’s firmware version in the Find My app.
- Early signs suggest Apple is pushing 3.0.49 broadly at once rather than using the original AirTag’s staggered two‑week rollout pattern.
- The prior AirTag 2 update adjusted the unwanted‑tracking sound to aid Precision Finding and the product’s history of misuse and litigation is why users and safety advocates are watching this update closely.
