What is AirTag and how we can use it?
Check the points below to see the features of AirTag are:-
- A single AirTag is priced at $29, and a package of four AirTags can be purchased for $99.
- AirTags are available directly from Apple, and that price point does not include the accessories needed to attach the AirTag to an item.
- Apple sells AirTags accessories separately, and there are also several third-party options.
- Ahead of the launch of AirTags, members of the media were able to test them out and first impressions are positive.
- AirTags have been described as “smart” and capable” for those in Apple’s ecosystem, and tracking has been lauded for its accuracy.
- It can sometimes take a full 30 seconds or more to get an initial location for an AirTag from another room, and it’s possible to get inaccurate locations foiled by obstructions and walls due to Bluetooth.
- The U1 Precision Tracking is helpful to get around that.
- The AirTag is a small, button-shaped tracking device with a glossy white front that can be customized with an engraving and a silver backing.
- AirTags are designed around the CR2032 batteries that are inside, and need additional accessories to attach to an item.
- AirTag measures in at 1.26 inches in diameter, and it has a height of 0.31 inches, or 8mm. It weighs 0.39 ounces (11 grams).
- Each AirTag can be engraved with up to four letters or emoji characters, though there are some restrictions on multiple emoji due to size limitations.
- There are also limitations on some emoji strings and phrases due to Apple’s content filtering.
- AirTags are added and managed in the Find My app under the “Items” tab.
- Like other Apple devices, each AirTag is displayed on a map in the Find My app so you can see its location.
- AirTags connect to your iOS and macOS devices over Bluetooth.
- Apple added a U1 chip in each AirTag so you can see its precise location indoors or out if it’s nearby, or its last known location if it is not.
- There are built-in speakers to play a sound to find a lost AirTag in the house, and you can either play a sound through the Find My app or ask Siri to find an AirTag with a sound.
- If an AirTag is lost or stolen, the Find My network can help you find it.
- The Find My Network takes advantage of hundreds of millions of iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices to help you locate an AirTag, with the AirTag showing up on a map when it is located by someone else’s device.
- In Lost Mode, an AirTag will automatically send out a notification when it’s detected by someone in the Find My network, and you can add your contact info so someone who finds your item can get in touch with you.
- Apple is able to regularly update the AirTags firmware and has done so several times since the AirTags launched.
- iPhones with a U1 chip can take advantage of Precision Finding, a feature that lets you see specific instructions on how to get to your lost AirTag.
- Precision finding combines AR, sound, and haptic feedback to help you out.
- U1 chips are included in the iPhone 11 and later.
- If you come across a lost AirTag, or if someone comes across your lost AirTag, it can be scanned with any smartphone that’s equipped with NFC to bring up contact information.
- This works on iPhones and Android devices, so if you find an item, give it a scan to locate the owner.
- If in Lost Mode, the AirTag will also relay its location back to the owner through the Find My network.
- Apple in iOS 15 added Separation Alerts to the Find My app, which are designed to let you know if you leave an Apple device, a device attached to an AirTag, or a Find My-enabled third-party device behind.
- You can set up Separation Alerts in the Find My app, so if you want to make sure your iPhone is always with you or that you don’t leave the house without the keys, this is the feature to use.
- AirTags use a replaceable CR2032 battery that is designed to last about a year before it needs to be replaced.
- The batteries are user replaceable, and to swap out a battery, you can press and twist on the back panel of the AirTag to pop it off.
- If your AirTag is low on battery life, you’ll get a notification that the battery needs to be replaced.
- There is no need or way to charge an AirTag because Apple designed them with user replaceable CR2032 batteries.
- Apple has not provided details the range of the AirTag, but the maximum Bluetooth range is around 100 meters, so an AirTag should be trackable at least to that distance.
- More experimentation will be necessary to find more specific range information.
- The AirTag features an IP67 water and dust resistance rating, which means it can withstand immersion in water up to one meter (3.3 feet) for 30 minutes in laboratory conditions.
- That means the AirTag will hold up well to liquid exposure from rain or accidental spills.
- As with AirPods, setting up an AirTag can be done with a one-tap gesture after it’s unboxed.
- Each AirTag can be customized with a name and an item description.
