Just talked to my wife about getting these this morning. Didn’t know they had been updated.
Can the batteries easily be replaced in them?

Previous generation - Yes. Newly announced - Dunno, watch this space:
This article mentions it uses the same CR2032 battery so I believe that’s a yes.
That’s awesome! I’ll pickup a pack of these.
Just want to point out that the key ring is more expensive than the device itself…
Apple’s second-generation Ultra Wideband chip — the same chip found in the iPhone 17 lineup, iPhone Air, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and Apple Watch Series 11 — powers the new AirTag, making it easier to locate than ever before. Using haptic, visual, and audio feedback, Precision Finding guides users to their lost items from up to 50 percent farther away than the previous generation.1 And an upgraded Bluetooth chip expands the range at which items can be located. For the first time, users can use Precision Finding on Apple Watch Series 9 or later, or Apple Watch Ultra 2 or later, to find their AirTag, bringing a powerful experience to the wrist.
does that mean that you only get the enhanced finding with an iPhone if it's a 17 or will it work with older models?
