alt Hacker NewsThe new AirTag requires a compatible iPhone with iOS 26 or later, or iPad with iPadOS 26 or later.
Oh come the fuck ON. I'm not installing your silly fuzzy UI, Apple. Get over it.

For real. This just went from insta-purchase to "guess I'll have one someday, but not anytime soon".
I use these to help keep track of my kids, but I'll probably get them AWs before I upgrade to 26 in all honesty.
Actually, I feel the same! The new UI is so absolutely terrible that I’ve decided to sit this version of iOS out. So I also will not buy the new AirTags for the same reason!
