Input may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. Between its low price (there’s also a four-pack for $99) and pinpoint accurate tracking executed using Ultra Wideband (UWB) and combination of audio, visual, and haptics on an iPhone, buying a four-pack is a no-brainer come preorder time on Friday, April 23. Rarely is there a new Apple product that I review that gives me no hesitation to spend my own money on it within minutes of setting it up. Take an existing product and make it so much better that everything else looks like amateur hour. Even if you choose Tile, you’re getting a vastly inferior item tracker.
#APPLE AIR TAGS ANDROID#
The only reason to buy a Tile over an AirTag is if you use Android since Apple’s item tracker only works with iOS devices. The same goes for the Chipolo One, Galaxy SmartTag, or any of a dozen rinky-dink item trackers you can find on Amazon.Īpple’s $29 AirTag is straight out of the company’s playbook: Take an existing product and make it so much better that everything else looks like amateur hour. Not that it mattered because Tiles are useless for pinpointing the exact location (not just a pin on a map) of a lost item it’s attached to. Tile later added replaceable batteries to new versions of its item tracker. (I unbox a lot of things okay?) I’ll never forget wasting almost two hours after work tearing up my old office only to find my keys near the freight elevators where I had tossed out some boxes.
#APPLE AIR TAGS HOW TO#
If you're on the fence about buying AirTags, make sure to read our full AirTags review and learn how to track down your lost items if you have an iPhone.Many years ago, I bought a Tile to keep track of my keys that I kept misplacing at home and at the office. You can order an Apple AirTag right now, with deliveries starting April 30. If it's not marked as lost, you'll be walked through the process of removing the battery from the AirTag to disable it.

If it's marked as lost, you'll see the owner's information and how to contact them. So what do you do if you find an AirTag in your car or backpack? Start by scanning it using the NFC capability of your phone. Right now, it will take three days before the AirTag beeps - but Apple plans on adjusting that amount of time based on feedback after the AirTag goes on sale. As such, an AirTag that detects it's traveling away from its owner will start to beep after an extended period of time. Pretty easy, right?Īpple put a lot of thought and work into eliminating the use of AirTags as hidden tracking devices: You can only use them to track items, not people or pets. If it's marked as lost, you'll see instructions on how to contact the rightful owner and get the item back to them. Once the tag is scanned, an alert will pop up on your screen that includes a web link, or your phone's browser will automatically open to an information page about the tag. So, as long as your Android phone is equipped with NFC (if you can use contactless payments, you have NFC), all you need to do is read the AirTag by placing it near the back of your phone. If you have an Android phone and happen to find a lost set of keys, a backpack or even a bike with an AirTag attached, you can scan the small tracker as long as your phone has the ability to read NFC tags.Įvery AirTag has an NFC chip inside it, and that chip is readable by Android phones and iPhones. Unless Apple decides to release a Find My app in the Play Store, you're going to have to do some extra work if you find a lost tag. The same can't be said about Android phones, however.
#APPLE AIR TAGS BLUETOOTH#
When you find a lost tag, you can scan it using NFC even if you have an Android phone.Įach AirTag uses random Bluetooth identifiers to anonymously communicate with Apple devices in the background to precisely locate the small tracker - all without anyone involved knowing it's even happening.
