Apple Announces $29 AirTag, a New Tile-like Item Tracker
Apple has launched a Tile-like item tracker that will work with the company's software and services. From a report: Dubbed AirTag, the small circular tag will allow you to track items within Apple's "Find My" app on iOS. Much like Tile, Apple's AirTags will be useful for tracking items like keys or wallets, and you'll be provided with notifications when you're separated from your item. The AirTag itself is a small puck-like device that includes a built-in speaker, accelerometer, Bluetooth LE, and a user-replaceable battery. Apple says the tracker should last for a year of battery life, and you can use an NFC tap to activate a lost mode. AirTag will be available for $29 on April 30th, or $99 for a four-pack of the devices. Apple is also working with accessory makers to create luggage tag and keyring enclosures for the AirTag itself.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
