1. 0:00And this is how to silence your brand
2. 0:02new second generation Apple AirTag. Let
3. 0:06me show you. Here, clearly it says
4. 0:10second gen. I'll open the package. There
5. 0:13are quite a few papers inside, and here
6. 0:16it is, new AirTag. It looks like old
7. 0:20one. I will unwrap it and pull out the
8. 0:23tab.
9. 0:25AirTag is active as we heard audible
10. 0:28chime. Next, I will add it in my Find My
11. 0:32Network and play lost sound for you to
12. 0:35hear new improved AirTag generation two
13. 0:38in action. Well, for the last time.
14. 0:47Let's do it. Remove a battery cover by
15. 0:50twisting it anticlockwise.
16. 0:53It has standard 2032 battery.
17. 0:56Larger speaker magnet is holding battery
18. 0:59in compartment.
19. 1:01If you put battery terminals up like so,
20. 1:04there are three plastic clips spaced out
21. 1:08evenly around every 120°.
22. 1:12They are not visible from outside, so
23. 1:14just trust me. I will grab my knife,
24. 1:17gently start prying only on spots where
25. 1:20are those three clips. You want to hear
26. 1:23them click open. Here we go, one,
27. 1:27another one, and last one.
28. 1:34Voila! AirTag generation two is open.
29. 1:38All three plastic clips are intact. It
30. 1:41wasn't harder to open, just bit
31. 1:43different. This new AirTag has improved
32. 1:46many things, but we will focus on
33. 1:49speaker and disconnecting it. Leave
34. 1:52speaker magnet inside as it is properly
35. 1:55glued. In order to make it silent, I
36. 1:58will cut this tiny copper wire coming
37. 2:00from speaker coil. There are two exactly
38. 2:04same on each side, and it doesn't matter
39. 2:07which one you cut off. AirTag will
40. 2:09become completely silent. So now it's
41. 2:12time to put it back together. Click on
42. 2:15battery compartment, shovel in battery,
43. 2:18and twist steel battery cover clockwise.
44. 2:21Here, when I hit play sound, there is no
45. 2:25sound coming out of the AirTag. Oh,
46. 2:28yeah, great success. Also, all other
47. 2:31functions remain the same.
48. 2:34By the way, this finding noise was from
49. 2:37iPhone.
50. 2:38Thanks for watching and see you next
51. 2:41time.
