"The battery icon does not provide a specific percent, but it's similar to an iPhone battery and will drain down over time."
Yep mine is roughly around 80% going off the battery icon.???

Going by the poxy little glyph mine are all full
Hmmm, maybe because I’m rocking the ios beta, might of thrown the battery percentage out. 🤔 ah well.
Yep, if you're running iOS 15 there will definitely be a lot of UI changes. Percentage isn't in 14.x
Mine is showing full (got it on launch day), but I haven't really played with it much, just left it attached to my keys.
Chipolo One Spot also showing 100%, but that is newer.

btw guys...this is kinda line noise. Many things are cheaper in the US, but I can get 10 of these for $9 in Canada.
So...why worth even thinking about?

I’ve already had to change the battery on one of my AirTags bought on release. It was the one on my keys so arguably the one that travels the most I guess. The others are not saying they need to be changed yet. But yeah, I highly doubt they will last a year for most cases.
Even if it were, an unloaded Lithium battery won't lose much capacity even after a couple of years.
I have a launch day AirTag, and by the looks of the battery icon it is still at 100% battery life.
I do not know how some people are distinguishing between 85% and 90% battery life, unless it is just a pure guess? I am running iOS 15 (latest developer beta) on my backup iPhone 11 Pro Max, and it does not show you the number value of the battery in the Find My app, which is the same display in the Find My app on my iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 14.7.1.

Ditto. It’s still showing full according to the icon, but I can’t find an actual percentage.
Having said that, I’m still waiting on the blinking AirTags firmware update. Maybe when that finally happens.
I‘m currently running iOS 15 but I don‘t see the battery status of the AirTag in %. I thought this should be available in iOS 15?
Bought mine in May, pinged it a few times (less than 10), and it showed me a low battery warning a few days ago. I have to say that I'm not super happy with it actually.
Strange. Mine is still showing as full, despite buying on launch day and similar usage. Maybe yours was one of the earliest built ones, so older battery degraded by time, rather than usage.
