Apple may have made it more difficult to disable the speaker on the AirTags to prevent them from alerting to their presence.
On Reddit, a customer of the tracker wanted to perform the small manipulation that allows them to remove the internal speaker. They explain that they want to use their AirTag with their bike and prevent its presence from being signaled to a potential thief.
With a photo as evidence, they show that the piece is more firmly fixed with glue, making it more difficult and even impossible in their case to remove it. It is not certain that it is still possible with a bit of skill and patience, but it seems more risky.
As soon as the AirTags were released, their disassembly revealed a clever and economical sound system. However, it is also quite simple to bypass. There are plenty of tutorials explaining how to remove the speaker without damaging the tracker.
A muted AirTag can indeed be used to avoid being detected by a wrongdoer. But there are other situations where the tracker is used to secretly monitor someone. This may be the case that Apple has addressed.
Le marché douteux des AirTags sans hautparleurs
Other Reddit users say they haven’t noticed any changes inside recently purchased AirTags. If this modification is true, it would still be necessary to know when it was implemented. These people may have purchased older stock trackers.
