Firmware version 3.0.45 replaces the initial release for Apple's AirTag 2, which launched in January. The update arrives without a manual installation option, requiring users to wait for automatic delivery. This marks the first update since the device's release, suggesting Apple is addressing real-world issues users encountered after the tracker hit shelves.

Apple's AirTag 2 launched with improved range thanks to a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip and 50% louder speakers compared to its predecessor. It also introduced industry-first protections against unwanted tracking, including cross-platform alerts and frequently changing Bluetooth identifiers. The device costs $29 for a single unit or $99 for a 4-pack.

While Apple hasn't released specific update notes, the move indicates ongoing refinement of the AirTag 2. Users should check their firmware version via the Find My app to ensure they have the latest software, which likely includes performance tweaks and bug fixes for the tracker's real-world tracking capabilities.
