AirTag has been a extended time coming. It has been on and off the rumour mill for at least two years now with Apple itself seemingly confirming its existence in a deleted assistance video last year. Curiously, it has taken Apple very a bit of time to launch the AirTag.
Apple AirTag options
Coming back to its function set and what it can do, AirTag is a little puck-like device created of stainless steel with a constructed-in speaker that customers can pair with an iPhone and attach to points that they are most most likely to shed track of. It is IP67-certfied and comes with a removable battery (that can last up to a year). Setup is straightforward, significantly like how it is with setting up the AirPods: bring it close to to an iPhone and it will detect and start out pairing quickly.
Once it is setup, its place can be tracked applying Apple’s Find My app. Tracking is carried out applying each Bluetooth and Ultra Wideband technologies. The latter is expectedly more precise and demands a compatible iPhone so any iPhone which is iPhone 11 and later.

Apple says AirTag is developed from ground up to hold place information private and safe. It does not shop any place information or place history on device and communication with the Find My network is finish-to-finish encrypted.
“We’re excited to bring this incredible new capability to iPhone users with the introduction of AirTag, leveraging the vast Find My network, to help them keep track of and find the important items in their lives,” Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPhone Product Marketing, Kaiann Drance mentioned in a press statement. “With its design, unparalleled finding experience, and built-in privacy and security features, AirTag will provide customers with another way to leverage the power of the Apple ecosystem and enhance the versatility of iPhone.”
