What are iTags? The science behind Apple’s new gadget
Apple has dropped a host of new gadgets, updates and features in April that had thrilled enthusiastic fans of the tech giant.
Among the new gadgets was iTag, Apple’s take on the Tile, an extremely successful device in the USA. Since April, there has been speculation among industry reports that sales of the device have been slower than expected. So what is an iTag? Read on to find out.
ITag uses Bluetooth technology to connect with smartphones for the purpose of tracking personal belongings.
AirTags are sleek and come in a leather casing, costing $45 each or four for $149. They can be attached to keys, backpacks, luggage and other objects.
The product uses an iPhone’s camera, accelerometer and gyroscope, along with visual and haptic feedback, to help locate the device.
They can be monitored in the Find My app.
“Misplacing something like your wallet doesn’t have to be a big deal when it has an AirTag attached,” Apple said in their launch.
“You can play a sound on the built-in speaker by going to the new Items tab in the Find My app or say ‘Hey Siri, find my wallet’. If it’s hiding nearby — like under the couch or in the next room — just follow the sound and your search is over.”
