I tried to switch out the battery on an AirTag and … it was super easy. 🤷‍♂️
@paul thx the reminder. I need to do so in the one in the car. :)
@paul I wish I could swap the battery on my phone super easily and not lose water resistance :/
@paul Now lick the battery. I dare you.
@jasoncox is it one of the bitter ones?
@paul Mine were. I did it just to know what kids would taste since I have two little ones and holy crap it was awful.
@paul changed at least a dozen so far!
@paul a fun wrinkle is the ones with bitterant often don’t work, so I now have too many of those
@alec @paul I had this issue. I discovered a moist cloth was enough to remove the bittering agent.
@paul not sure what it’s like where you are but the hardest part is getting the replacement battery out of all the packaging it’s bloody in.
@paul it’s harder when they’ve been chewed on…
@paul connecting a (non apple) bluetooth accessory is a more involved process than swapping an airtag battery
@paul The best thing is that, unlike with smoke detectors, you can actually figure out which AirTag is low on batteries instead of futilely trying to figure out where an intermittent beep is coming from.
@paul My colleague practically destroyed an AirTag trying to prise it open. He never thought to check the Apple support site to see how to do it. 🤦
@paul Great. Now what do we bitch about?!
