Tile Introduces Tile Premium: A New Option to Supplement Existing Tiles

If you're not planning to replace your tile every year, they still need a way to kind of keep supplementing that income. That's why they're introducing Tile Premium, which comes with a bunch of different features including free yearly battery replacements.

When you go ahead and set up your tiles, you'll have options for the pro and the mate, which are located on top or about halfway down the screen. We'll go ahead and set up the Mate first, by quickly clicking the little button on the tile to wake it up, and it will make a little noise and keep it near your phone. It will then automatically pair with it and activate the tile. You can choose from a number of pre-done icons and selections such as wallets, toys, keys, backpacks, IDs, briefcases, whatever you've got going on. There are a lot of options here, or you can name it yourself and choose your own image.

As we walk through some of the features inside of the tile app, let's take a look at how we can use Siri shortcuts. We've chosen the device like my backpack that I have my camera in it, and now it works with Siri shortcuts. So, I can create my own custom phrase such as "Find My Camera Bag" and whenever I say that's a Siri, she'll be able to help me find my stuff. It's really handy, just ask Siri to find your keys, find the remote, find your camera bag, find your purse on your wallet - all of that can be done now with any Siri-connected device.

Under options, we have a few different things and a lot of these are gonna be tied to the premium feature. So, let's take a look at some of the features that are available in the Tile app. We have smart alerts, which will just let you know if you've left something behind. Maybe you don't want to walk out of your house without your wallet, so turn on smart alert and you'll get an alert on your phone saying "Hey, you may have left your wallet behind". There's also location history, which will show you any place that your device has been in the past 30 days.

Both of these features are limited to those on the premium plan. We then have sharing, which by default allows you to share with one other person, say a spouse, and be able to find each other's car keys, remotes, whatever. But with the premium plan, there is unlimited sharing.

Tile Premium is pretty affordable, it'll only run you three dollars a month or $30 for the entire year. So again, for Tile Premium, it covers all of your tiles on your account, gives you free battery replacements for your tiles every single year, you get smart alerts, unlimited sharing, location history, and extended warranty up to three years.

Additionally, Tile Premium comes with premium customer service. If you don't go for the premium option, it's not a huge deal there's still tons to do. I love the new Siri integration, it works not only on your phone, but also provides a little map of where your device is like right now saying "It's 10 feet away from me", which is absolutely true and I'm at home.

But it will work with any series-connected device like your HomePod. Simply ask Siri on your HomePod "Where are my keys?" Ceri will tell you where they are, and then she'll go ahead and make the tile ring so you can find it all completely hands-free. Plus, if you're out and you misplace your phone somewhere, double-click the tile and get your phone to ring.

The new tiles have extended range, louder volumes, if you're looking for some great holiday gifts, they're totally gonna be on our list. Tile has done what they've always seemed to be able to do - they've taken their existing product that's extremely popular with all the same features and then built on it. They've now fixed the battery issue by letting your place that battery yourself giving you a premium option with new additional features and keeping all the old ones around.

They're still super well-built, they're really popular, they last a long time, and you can use the crowd-allocate feature if you lose something - market is lost anytime another tile user walks near it, it'll automatically ping you that last minute location. Without that person ever knowing if you're interested to pick up either the new tiles, the Tile Mate or the Tile Pro for you or for someone else as a gift. You can find links for both of them down below in the comments and in the description.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enTyl has introduced two new Bluetooth trackers and we're gonna show them off welcome everyone it is Andrew here from Apple Insider and we've got both of these new tile Bluetooth trackers the pro and the upgraded version of the mate as kind of a high-level overview the pro is the most premium Bluetooth tracker tile makes the most features and the mate is one of the most affordable and it's been upgraded with a few new features the biggest of which both of these now come with a replaceable battery which is easily the most requested feature of any of the tiles included in the box is the actual tile itself whether you're looking at the mate or for the pro tile has a whole bunch of different tile options during the pro there's the style there's the sport there's the mate that we looked at the slim which is really skinny and can fit in things like the Nomad wallet that we reviewed or other third party products such as the key smart key organizer or even some certain Skullcandy headphones so we're gonna take a look at each of these tile bluetooth trackers individually or look at what is new what's changed and compare them to the last generation versions starting off let's take a look at the tile pro the Tao Pro is most similar to the tile sport we've just been around for a little while now and the tile sport is kind of the co companion of the tile style tile style is a little bit brighter it's white with a gold trim around it but they are both somewhat similar these pro on the other hand is a little bit thinner maybe than the title sport and it's a little bit taller it does feel a little bit cheaper as terms of build quality goes and comes in a little bit lighter we see the usual improvements in both the tile pro and the tile mate the range is extended the Bluetooth range which is really helpful when you're trying to find your stuff and the ring volume the other thing that's really handy if it's gonna bury somewhere you need some good volume to be able to hear it and the ring is definitely louder on both the pro and on the mate the pro though is really impressive it actually has a Bluetooth range of up to 300 feet well we were able to test that we we get pretty darn close as you can see by that battery compartment on the back it does have a replaceable battery it should still last you about one year and it's just a standard cr2032 battery another minor change is the little part in the top left hand corner that's used to attach it onto something like your keyring it's a little bit smaller and easier now to get onto a keyring while the hole itself is a little bit bigger this definitely is more comfortable and easy to use when attaching it onto your keys or anything else that you're gonna carry this around with the tile Pro is obviously the more expensive of the two and will be available for 35 bucks then we have the tile mate you'll see we have the two different versions here the old generation on the left and the new and on the right yes the new one is a tad taller and a tad thicker for the smallest tile on the lineup that's a little bit of a downside but we're sure people are gonna understand when it's so much louder and has that replaceable battery there definitely are concessions going for the tile mate over the tile Pro the biggest one being the range instead of 300 feet the new tile mate can go 150 feet away before being able to be found of course it still has that replaceable battery and the volume is a whole lot louder instead of using the cr2032 there is a slightly smaller CR 1 6 3 2 cell battery in here either way it'll last you about a year before you can go ahead and swap it out speaking of those batteries tile is offering a new option this year obviously if
