The iPhone 13 may not be released in September: here’s why

Apple warns: don’t do this when replacing AirTag battery

The AirTag contains a small, coin-shaped battery. You can easily swallow it and this can cause a very dangerous chemical reaction. Some battery manufacturers (including Duracell) have therefore applied a bitter coating to the battery to prevent children from eating it.

A button cell battery with a coating is therefore as safe if you have young children, but it is better to get other batteries for the AirTag. Apple warned about this last week.
