Powered by the strength of the Find My network, AirTag allows users to keep tabs on their belongings every single day, from keys and wallets to backpacks, luggage, and more. Precision Finding guides users through haptic, visual, and audio feedback to their lost items from up to 50 percent farther away than the previous generation, and an updated Bluetooth chip expands the range at which items can be located. The new AirTag incorporates a suite of industry-first protections against unwanted tracking, including cross-platform alerts and unique Bluetooth identifiers that change frequently.
