The AirTag is Apple’s take on smart tracking. It’s minimalist—polished stainless steel on the front, Apple logo on the back—and the size of a coin. It’s water- and dust-resistant (IP67), making it durable for everyday use, though a case is recommended since it scratches easily.
Performance:
Pairing is seamless via iPhone. Precision Finding, enabled by the U1 chip, allows ultra-accurate directional locating with supported iPhones. If you misplace a bag, bike, or pet tag, the global Find My network uses millions of Apple devices to relay its location, all anonymously and securely.
Features:
U1 ultra-wideband chip for Precision Finding
Global Find My network integration
Replaceable CR2032 battery (1-year life)
Built-in speaker for audio alerts
Lost Mode with contact info display
Battery:
It runs on a replaceable coin battery that lasts up to a year. No recharging necessary, which is user-friendly.
Pros:
