That's the European Marking for compliance with CE and the Do not trash icon so you recycle it properly instead of throwing the AirTag away in the bin since it contains hazardous materials.


That marking is not on other versions I don't think since it's not required. It's a European Union requirement only.


Similarly the trash icon is likely required by the European Union only too.

Sorry, your question is not very clear. The back of the AirTag has the Apple Logo. It was the same with the original Air Tag.


You can add an engraved emoji or 2 to the front of the AirTag, but the trashcan is not one of the options.

Can you show us where you are seeing this trashcan?

Sorry, je vraag is niet erg duidelijk. Op de achterkant van de AirTag staat het Apple-logo. Het was hetzelfde met de originele Air Tag.


Je kunt een gegraveerde emoji of 2 toevoegen aan de voorkant van de AirTag, maar de prullenbak is niet een van de opties.


Kun je ons laten zien waar je deze prullenbak ziet?

Again, no, the AirTag 2 like the AirTag 1 has an Apple Logo on the back.


Where are you seeing this bin or trashcan exactly?


Here's the Apple page for the AirTag 2 and nowhere does it show a bin or trashcan on the back.

This is the back of the AirTag 2:


If you can provide a link to where you are seeing this or a phot if you have an AirTag 2 in your hand and can take a photo of it it would be very helpful.

I did, and I appreciate the photo. Thanks. I was not ware of the difference between the first gen and second gen airTags in that respect, so that clarifies it.


Since OP did not explain what they were seeing it has hard to guess not being in Europe and not having a European second gen AirTag in hand.


The requirement is probably a recent addition which first gen AirTags were not beholden to.
