Apple’s AirTag has become a must-have for those always misplacing their keys. These compact trackers, introduced in 2021, gained popularity for their ability to pinpoint lost items on a map. Their small size allows for easy attachment to keys, bags, laptop cases, or luggage.
When near the AirTag, your iPhone provides precise directions on-screen, and the AirTag can emit a sound to aid in locating it. The latest AirTag model boasts an upgraded Ultra Wideband chip, enhancing its range significantly.
Apple claims that this enhancement improves Precision Finding by up to 50%, making it easier to locate lost items from a greater distance. Additionally, Precision Finding is now compatible with select Apple Watch models, enabling users to track down misplaced items directly from their wrist.
The new AirTag features a redesigned internal speaker that produces sounds 50% louder than its predecessor, making it easier to find when hidden in tight spots. Utilizing Apple’s Find My network, AirTags leverage nearby Apple devices to update the owner on its location anonymously.
Privacy is a key focus of the redesigned Find My network. AirTags do not store location history on the device and all communication with the network is encrypted end-to-end, ensuring only the owner has access to its location. The new AirTag seamlessly integrates with the Share Item Location feature on iOS, enabling users to securely share an item’s location with trusted parties, such as airlines, for recovering lost belongings.
The latest AirTag is now available for purchase on apple.com/uk and the Apple Store app, with in-store availability coming soon. Prices start at £29 for a single AirTag or £99 for a pack of four, offering a more budget-friendly option compared to the original launch price of £35.
