1. What are Apple AirTag trackers?
Apple has been rumored for a couple of years now to be releasing its own bluetooth-based Tile tracking competitor, called AirTag, and on 4/20/21 Apple Officially Announced AirTag trackers . Have you ever misplaced your keys, wallet, remote control, backpack, or even had trouble finding your dog? Well, worry no more – stick an AirTag on them and you can track and find anything quickly and easily using the “Find My” app right on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Basically, AirTags are small bluetooth tracking devices that help you find anything you used to lose, and promise to make your life so. much. easier.
2. What do AirTags do?
AirTags are small bluetooth-based tracking devices (or tracking tiles – that’s what the primary AirTag competitor (Tile) calls them) that help you keep track of and find anything that you regularly misplace or lose. Just stick an AirTag on your car keys, and now you can easily find your keys whenever they’re lost, anywhere in the world – just by using the Find My app on your iPhone.
3. When will Apple release AirTags / When do AirTags come out?
Apple released AirTags on 4/20/21. They’re available to order at 5 a.m. PT on 4/30/21 directly from Apple for $29 each, or a 4-back for $99. There will be better AirTag Deals later on, so stay tuned or sign up for Deal Alerts on the top right of our home page.
I personally can’t wait for them to ship! AirTags would really have helped me yesterday when I couldn’t find my wallet, or the other day when I couldn’t find my keys – and both were just in my house. The indoor-GPS-like-ability of Apple’s U1 ultra-wideband chip would have been really nice. Plus I’m putting one on each of my dogs, because AirTags are the Best Pet Trackers around.
4. How are AirTags different than the competition? Are AirTags better than Tile trackers?
One of the key advantages of AirTags is that they expected to use / be compatible with Apple’s U1 ultra-wideband chips (which have been included in all iPhones since the iPhone 11 release back in Fall 2019) – but what does that mean / what does ultrawideband do for you? Well, Apple calls it “GPS at the scale of your living room” for “spatial awareness,” and Wired Magazine calls it “Bluetooth on Steroids“. Basically, Apple’s U1 ultra-wideband chip is going to find your keys super precisely and quickly. Forget making knowing your phone is still in Los Angeles, or even that your keys are in your house – we’re talking about know-what-couch-cushion-they’re-hiding-under technology. Check out our AirTags vs. Tile Trackers article and our article on How Do AirTags Compare to the Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag for more info!
More importantly, AirTag uses the “Find My network” – so basically, you don’t need to be within the ~300-foot bluetooth range of a lost item with an AirTag attached……. someone needs to be near it, and their iPhone will tell your iPhone. There are nearly a billion iOS devices already in the Find My network. That means that your lost puppy with an AirTag on a collar just needs to be within 300 feet of anyone with an iPhone and you’ll be able to find him and get him home safely.
5. What are the latest AirTags rumors?
After what felt like dozens of misfires and false-starts, Apple finally announced AirTags on 4/20/21, and they’re shipping soon. But, there are still plenty of AirTag Rumors to follow, as this is just the beginning of the AirTags story. For example, we’re still waiting for confirmation / an update to make AirTags work with the Apple Watch, which is expected given that the Watch has had a U1 ultra-wideband chip (for AirTag compatibility) since the Series 6 Watch was released. You heard it here first.
