"Losing your keys, wallet or luggage ranks among the most frustrating daily experiences. Apple's AirTag solves this problem in a way no competitor can match, thanks to the Find My network powered by hundreds of millions of Apple devices worldwide. This massive network means your lost item can be located almost anywhere, even if it's miles away from your own iPhone."
"When you flag an AirTag lost, other Apple devices running Bluetooth proximity to it can pick up its Bluetooth signal and report its location anonymously back to yours. It all occurs entirely behind the scenes without notification of the other device's owner, and all of your location information stays encrypted and private. By virtue of its massive scale, your AirTag becomes locatable even in isolated regions, if someone running an Apple device wanders by."
"Installing an AirTag is a matter of seconds. You just point it near your iPhone or iPad, tap to pair and tag it to an item like your keys or backpack. The U1 chip in newer iPhones powers Precision Finding employs ultra-wideband technology and walks you straight to your AirTag with onscreen arrows and haptic indicators. As you approach, your iPhone displays the exact distance and direction and turns a potentially frantic search into a mere follow-the-arrows endeavor."
AirTags attach to personal items and use Apple's Find My network of iPhones, iPads, and Macs to locate lost belongings almost anywhere. When an AirTag is flagged lost, nearby Apple devices anonymously detect its Bluetooth signal and report its location while keeping location data encrypted and private. Pairing with an iPhone or iPad is quick, and newer iPhones with a U1 chip provide Precision Finding using ultra-wideband, onscreen arrows, and haptic feedback. Each AirTag uses a replaceable CR2032 battery lasting about a year, and current Amazon pricing offers a 4-pack for $64 and single units for $19.
