AirTag
A tracking device developed by Apple Inc.
Overview[edit | edit source]
The AirTag is a small, circular tracking device developed by Apple Inc. It is designed to help users locate personal items such as keys, bags, and other belongings using Apple's Find My network. The device was announced on April 20, 2021, and released on April 30, 2021.
Design and Features[edit | edit source]
The AirTag is a small, lightweight device with a diameter of 31.9 mm and a thickness of 8 mm. It weighs approximately 11 grams. The device is made of polished stainless steel and is water and dust resistant with an IP67 rating.
Technology[edit | edit source]
AirTags use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to communicate with nearby Apple devices. They also feature a U1 chip for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology, which allows for precise location tracking when used with compatible devices such as the iPhone 11 and later models.
Battery[edit | edit source]
The AirTag is powered by a user-replaceable CR2032 coin cell battery, which is claimed to last about one year under normal usage conditions.
Privacy and Security[edit | edit source]
Apple has implemented several privacy and security features in AirTags to prevent unwanted tracking. These include alerts for unknown AirTags traveling with a user and the ability to disable an AirTag if it is found to be tracking someone without their consent.
Usage[edit | edit source]
AirTags can be attached to items using various accessories, such as key rings and loops. Once attached, users can track their items using the Find My app on their iPhone, iPad, or Mac. The app provides directions to the AirTag's location and can play a sound to help locate it.
Setup[edit | edit source]
Setting up an AirTag is a simple process. Users bring the AirTag close to their iPhone, and a setup prompt appears on the screen. The AirTag can then be named and associated with the user's Apple ID.
