Apple releases firmware upgrade a261 for AirTags

Pennsylvania's government has taken steps to punish folks who use devices such as AirTags to illegally track someone.

Apple’s has released a new firmware update (A261) for its AirTags trackers.

As noted by MacRumors, there’s no way to force an AirTag update; it’s done over-the-air through a connected iPhone. To prompt an update, you can place the tracking device in range of your ‌iPhone. However, you have to wait for the firmware to roll out to your device.
