Apple Announces AirTags: A New Way to Find Non-Apple Objects on Your iPhone

The wait is finally over for those eager to find their lost items after months of anticipation. Apple has announced the arrival of AirTags, a new way to track non-Apple objects using the power of Bluetooth and ultra-wideband technology.

According to Apple's announcement, the idea behind AirTags is simple: once you set up these button-sized tracking devices, they'll appear in the "New Items" tab on your Find My app. The app will then show you the current or last known location of your AirTag, allowing you to easily find it if it gets lost.

One of the most exciting features of AirTags is its ability to use ultra-wideband technology, which makes finding these devices even more accurate on iPhone 11 and iPhone 12. This technology combines the camera, accelerometer, gyroscope, and AR Kit to provide a precise tracking experience.

AirTags also feature a unique assign-your-own-phone-number capability. This means that anyone who finds your AirTag can tap it with their NFC-enabled phone and find out your details, adding an extra layer of security to these devices.

However, it's worth noting that AirTags are designed primarily for the Apple ecosystem. If you're not in Bluetooth range, that's where Apple's global Find My Network comes into play. This network now includes close to a billion devices and can detect when someone is following your AirTag without being with its owner. In such cases, iOS will notify you anonymously and privately in the background.

But what about those who want to use AirTags outside of the Apple ecosystem? Apple has opened up the Find My Network to third-party hardware, including the One-Spot Tracker from Chipolo, which offers similar functionality at a lower price point.

For those interested in purchasing AirTags, there are a few options available. You can buy individual devices for $29 or purchase a pack of four for $99. Both options come with free engraving and are available in various accessories like leather loops and key rings. These devices are also dust-resistant, water-resistant, and seem to be designed with the ultimate couch-dweller in mind.

Finally, AirTags have replaceable batteries that should last you about a year, making them an affordable option for keeping track of your belongings.

AirTags will go on pre-order on April 23rd, with availability starting on April 30th.
