On the JerryRigEverything channel on YouTube, where various devices are tested for their durability, a new product by Apple was tested, which was presented at the company’s 2021 Spring Loaded event. Given the nature of the object, it’s highly likely -though not intentionally- to take a lot of hits, scratches, and “mishandling” in general, during its use. The device we are referring to is not, of course, the iPad Pro that was recently released, but the smart AirTag tracker.

The host Zach Nelson emphasized the sensitivity of the outer shell, made of stainless steel, that surrounds the AirTags, which continually gets damaged by the objects around it. The outer shell appears to scratch easily, while the host legitimizes the presence of dust and particles.

So, once the AirTags are in use they may not look as shiny, especially since they are intended to be placed on keychains or inside bags, and their outer wear may accelerate. It should be noted that the cost for each AirTag amounts to $29 US, while buying 4 AirTags costs $99.

Nelson proceeded with a battery replacement on the AirTags and mentioned that they can be broken down even more, even though they hold an IP67 rating. In the process he demonstrated that Apple has included internal antennas for connectivity, a coil for NFC, and a speaker for comments which are activated via Find My.

Thus, it is proved that other elements of the AirTags can also be replaced, provided that no coil is damaged during the process. For this, trust the experienced technicians at THEFIXERS to prolong the lifespan of your AirTags and carry out any device replacement you may need.

Meanwhile, Nelson took the opportunity to promote the skins he has created in collaboration with Dbrand, to apply to AirTags, which aim to protect the steel shell and provide them with a Star Wars reminiscent appearance.
