    Ugh, the dreaded day came where I had to change the batteries on two air tags. Every time it is such a production. After a half hour I finally got one to work, and the other one is going directly in the trash. When this working one runs out of juice, it's going in the bin too. I have had enough. I have good batteries, but when I replace the cover, no beeping. Apple should be ashamed that they couldn't come up with something more easily maintained. I'm heading to Amazon to buy a tracker from a different company. Thank you for the video. I come back to this every time to make sure I am still sane.

      Let me know which tracker you end up with. It’s a pain to change these batteries.

      @@Plantodyssee I bought the Eufy wallet tracker (for my wallet) and so far it has done what I needed it to do. The good and bad part about these is the batteries are not replaceble by the consumer so I kind of feel guilty about destroying the earth and all. I'm sure my last remaining AirTag has already died. I think I should just try to be more deliberate where I put things so I don't lose them LOL.

    These things are so cool. I wasn't sure how to do this process but its looks simple. We have one in a specially made collar for our dog. I too have noticed how Amazon will ship small items in a big box, such a waste. I saw in the news a couple of week ago that Amazon is investing heavily into a device that will make custom sized boxes for when they receive an order for any sized item. It was pretty to see how that works. They feed in the size of the item, that can also be automated if the dimensions are known, and it cranks out a box lickity split.

      So why doesn’t Amazon create a line of interchangeable plastic boxes that can be picked up and reused for each delivery? They could charge a bit for rental of say five sizes for each Prime member. Then people just leave the empty ones out for pickup w another delivery. You are welcome, Amazon.

    Tip: stick a tiny flat under the backside to help pop it open

  • @herbapou
    @herbapou 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I was not able to turn it back in place, the reason was I broke it when I open it (I pop it open with a small screw drive). The little plastic that hold it in place after the clockwise rotation was not there anymore so it was impossible to close it down.

    I have 2 AirTags bought at the same time. 1 shows low battery, so I’m replacing both. 1 changed easily. The second one I can’t get the cover to twist off. I’m going to the nearest Apple Store tomorrow to see if they can get it off, and whether they charge me. This doesn’t make me want to run out and buy any more AirTags.

    Some batteries with a bitter coating to prevent children from swallowing will not work with AirTags. The coating does not allow proper contact on the negative side.
