Well I remember some screen shots of people getting their AirTags and showing 2019 and 2020 on the box so if they were in the box that long, and I have no way of knowing of course, but I could see the battery being close to dead because I think the are to last a year under normal use so sitting around for a year or two could weaken the battery.

That makes 0 sense,..there were plastic tags between the battery and connector. They weren't active since 2019/20. You can leave watch batteries out for years without using them.

Can they add camera mode on next upgrade? Hope next gen can use iPhone camera and have a icon or AR location indicator position of the AirTag.
 
Ever since I tried this developer mode, precision finding doesn't work anymore. Anyone else has this issue?
Same! Now when I am just a few feet away from the AirTag, it says “cannot find signal”. When I am right next to it, it says “Weak signal”. Unpaired AirTag and repaired, and still the same problem. Did a soft reset on my iPhone, still nothing. I’m currently making a Backup and restoring my phone fully.
