Apple’s AirTag is a must-have device for those who frequently misplace their belongings. Launched in 2021, these small trackers have gained popularity for their ability to pinpoint lost items on a map. AirTags are compact and versatile, easily attachable to keys, bags, laptop cases, or luggage.
The latest AirTag model boasts an enhanced Ultra Wideband chip, offering an extended range. This upgrade improves Precision Finding by up to 50%, enabling users to locate items from greater distances. Additionally, Precision Finding is now compatible with select Apple Watch models, allowing users to track misplaced items directly from their wrist.
Apple has also improved the new AirTag’s speaker, making it 50% louder than its predecessor. This enhancement proves beneficial when trying to locate the AirTag in hard-to-reach places, such as under furniture or amidst clutter.
AirTags leverage Apple’s Find My network, which utilizes nearby Apple devices to relay location updates anonymously. Apple has prioritized privacy in this system by ensuring that AirTags do not store location history and all communication with the Find My network is encrypted end-to-end, safeguarding the owner’s privacy.
Moreover, the new AirTag seamlessly integrates with Share Item Location, an iOS feature that allows users to securely share an item’s location with trusted parties like airlines to aid in recovering lost belongings. Apple has partnered with over 50 airlines to support this feature.
Interested buyers can now order the new AirTag from apple.com/uk or 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, making it more affordable than the original version, which launched at £35.
