What this episode covers

Dave Jones and Chris Gammell discuss the engineering behind a custom AirTag clone, detailing the challenges of fitting an nRF52840, NFC antenna, and sensors onto a 32mm single-sided PCB. They also analyze the causes of alkaline battery leakage, the mechanics of latched vs. unlatched continuity testers in multimeters, and the technical implications of Apple's new in-house modem silicon in the iPhone 16.
