Apple's AirTag
The AirTag is a quarter-sized tracking device that can be used to find lost items, and isn't updated very often. Apple didn't detail what is available in the latest firmware update, but given history, users can expect unspecified fixes and performance improvements that address known issues.
The new AirTag firmware version is 2.0.36, build number 2A36. This replaces version 1.0.301 and version 2.0.24 on all AirTags in a slow rollout. Apple is updating 25% of the active AirTags on Monday, and the rest on Friday, December 16.
There isn't a manual update mechanism for AirTag, instead users will see the update apply automatically at some point in the coming days. Some users have found that keeping the AirTag close to the parent iPhone while connected to WiFi may induce the update sooner.
You can check the firmware version of your AirTag via the Find My app on your phone. Once in Find My, tap the relevant AirTag, then tap the battery icon for the AirTag -- this will display the serial number and the firmware version.

Comments
Since comments are disabled, I'll leave mine here. Sites like Target currently (or at least recently) have free deals for all the services for 2 to 4 months depending on the service. So do yourself a favor and save 100% of the cost instead. Chances are by the time you get to the end of your free trial you will have stopped using most of them, so it's easy enough to cancel before paying a dime.
Apple did away with the battery level indicator in a recent iOS “upgrade” and I don’t understand why.
I did start to see the icon in red recently when the battery in one of my AirTags was getting low. At least that.
