An Apple AirTag features a one-year user-replaceable CR2032 battery. That means you don’t need to worry about charging your wireless tracker for nearly a year. Based on how much you use certain features like Precision Finding, the battery life span may vary. Thus, it would be better to check your AirTag’s battery life so that you know the right time to get a replacement. In this guide, you will learn how to check the battery life of an AirTag and replace it on time.
Thanks to the Find My app pre-installed on iPhones and iPads, it’s easy to know if your AirTag has a low battery. And if you find the standard CR2032 battery running low on power or about to die, you can replace it with ease. You can buy the 3-volt lithium coin cell batteries from any drugstore or big-box retailer.
- Open the Find My app on your iPhone.
- Now, tap on the Items tab at the bottom.
- Next, tap on the name of the AirTag whose battery you want to check.
- If the charge is very low, you’ll see Low Battery under your AirTag’s name.

Here, you’ll also find options to locate your Airtag or make it play a sound. If your AirTag still has sufficient battery, you won’t see a battery icon or an alert.
Now, if you do see an icon, you can’t figure out the exact battery remaining, but you can know the AirTag’s battery life is nearing its end, and you need a new one. This ensures you aren’t stuck with a dead AirTag.
That’s all there is to it! Now that you know to keep an eye on the AirTag’s battery life, make the most of it to ensure the item tracker never runs out of juice unexpectedly. Once the battery runs down, it’s also pretty easy to replace the AirTag battery . Since most drugstores or retailers sell 3-volt lithium coin cell batteries , buying a new one shouldn’t be a big deal.
Moreover, the process to remove the AirTag battery will also come in handy if you find an unknown AirTag on you. If someone is trying to track you, follow our in-depth guide to disable the AirTag and maintain your privacy.

- Apple and Google have officially confirmed their team-up for the next-gen Siri AI.
- The Cupertino Giant will be using Google’s Gemini for a more personalized Siri model as well as Apple Intelligence features.
- We can expect the next-gen Siri to come out with iOS 26.4, sometime in March or April.
Apple has officially confirmed joining forces with Google to use its Gemini AI model to power the next-generation Siri. It will offer a more personalized experience and will be coming out with the iOS 26.4 update. Apple also plans to leverage Gemini’s capabilities for other Apple Intelligence features as well, later down the line.
The Next-Gen Siri will be powered by Google’s Gemini AI
Apple officially confirmed that it will be partnering with Google in a statement to CNBC . Here’s what it stated, “After careful evaluation, we determined that Google’s technology provides the most capable foundation for Apple Foundation Models, and we’re excited about the innovative new experiences it will unlock for our users.”
Later, Google also shared a post on X confirming the tie-up, “Apple and Google have entered into a multi-year collaboration under which the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be based on Google’s Gemini models and cloud technology. These models will help power future Apple Intelligence features, including a more personalized Siri coming this year.”

Both statements clearly mention that the Cupertino Giant will be using Gemini to power its assistant Siri. This was already rumored, as Apple’s attempts to acquire Perplexity went nowhere. With Gemini, Siri will get a major AI update . It will be able to handle more nuanced conversations and provide better results. Something long-time Apple users have been asking for years.
The next-gen Siri will arrive with the iOS 26.4 update, which will launch sometime in March or April. And it is only going to be available for Apple Intelligence-supported devices .
Something else worth noting is how Google’s statement mentions that Gemini will power Apple Intelligence features. This leads us to believe that Apple could use Gemini’s multi-modal capabilities for its Writings tools , Image Playground , and Message summaries, too.
Elon Musk Not Happy With Apple and Google Tie Up
xAI CEO Elon Musk also responded to Google’s announcement post on X, sharing his thoughts on the matter by saying, “This seems like an unreasonable concentration of power for Google, given that they also have Android and Chrome.” Though we don’t expect either Apple or Google to respond to Elon, we will update the situation as it progresses.
It is worth noting that xAI is the company behind Grok, which is in hot water currently due to its inappropriate image generation fiasco , and has been getting backlash from multiple news outlets, X users, and even government authorities.
