accessories AirTag from Apple have proven to offer a utility that is beyond any doubt, so its market launch is clearly a success. Of course, the Cupertino company has had to overcome some errors that have been detected, such as the misuse that some made of this product to spy on people. Well, there’s a new issue who comes to complicate life for the company with the bitten apple.
This has to do with the battery that is included in the AirTag, which must be remembered that it is a button type and that it can be replaced at the end of its useful life. The case is that a fault has not been detected that reduces the time that these accessories can be used or that there is something that jeopardizes the stability of the device. What has been known has to do with the protection which, in this case, does not offer the stack we are talking about.
What has been known about the AirTag
This has to do with the fact that a coating is not used that is already very common in button batteries, which is intended to prevent children from swallowing the element. We talk about the use of Bitrex, which makes the taste very bitter at the moment the battery is placed in the mouth. This generally causes the little ones automatically spit. The fact is that Apple does not offer this solution.
According to the company itself, the use of Bitrex-coated batteries may cause the AirTag to malfunction when it comes to supplying power to the accessory. So much so, that you can run the risk that the device simply does not work and is unusable. From this signature, users have to make the decision not to use batteries that do not have the corresponding protection so that everything works correctly or, failing that, take the usual risk. And, this, is everyone’s decision, of course.
Obviously, if you don’t have small children at home, you don’t have to think about anything because the problem doesn’t exist. But it doesn’t stop being curious that the possibility of using batteries with Bitrex in AirTags is not offered, considering how seriously Apple takes everything that has to do with security.
Change in the future, necessary
This is something completely desirable, although the Cupertino firm has not indicated anything about it. But surely the necessary modifications can be made so that the second generation of the AirTag include the possibility of using battery with the protection for children. Regardless of this, right now, this is something that can cause problems. And it is important to know.
