AirTag Firmware Rollout Date
iSoftware Updates (via Sebastiaan de With):
Looks like Apple accidentally set the deployment dates for the 2.0.73 AirTag firmware to “m/d/24” instead of “m/d/2024” that has used in previous versions and which the AirTag update system uses as date format.
As a result, AirTags think the deployment dates are in the year 24 and they just skip to the 100% rollout batch 😅
Why is the goLiveDate even stored as a string when plists have a date type?

A question Apple should be asking itself, indeed...
>Why is the goLiveDate even stored as a string when plists have a date type?
And if it's going to be a string, why is it not in ISO 8601 format instead of the idiotic American order?
Ah, I found the xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1179/ Someone please pass it on to Apple.
Bob beat me to it, although I think in this case the non-US/dd/mm/(yy)yy would be just as bad. Just use ISO 8601!
