Welcome everyone to Ricky's tech talk during apple's spring fordward events they announced air
tags and today we're going to be taking a look at them and setting them up but I've also ordered
two key rings from Belkin one for my partner and one for myself because these don't have
any way of clipping on to your keys or your bag or your pet or any other things so
I've had to order some key rings clever marketing from apple they do sell their own
but I've got some third-party ones here from Belkin so let's begin with a quick unboxing
and we'll show you more of these so let's just move these to the side
so on the front here as I said it comes in four pack or an individual pack so the four-pack here
in the UK is 99 pounds and an individual one is 29 pounds and I'll put the link in the description
and basically, all you've got is a little tab down here at the bottom pull that and then we should
be able to get in may need to cut the bottom of the box here I just had to cut my little tab
so we've got an air tank we've got some product information which is always handy
and then it opens so I'm seeing this with the apple watch
so then we've got some information and you can see the air tags here look great and an individual one
will come the same sort of packaging but just one in here but shares the same information
got a bit of information here about the widget I'm about to find my application over this side
it's easy to set up as well so let's take a look at one they are very small actually people did say
they're very small so apple will allow you to personalize these as well if you want to
so as soon as I pull this out here it will activate and you can personalize them if you
want to they are end-user exchangeable batteries so you can actually change the batteries in here
will last over a year but you can change them it's made from laser-etched polished stainless steel
and I feel this will get scratched quite easily so I'm just going to bring in my iphone here
open up my iphone and as soon as I pull this tag out here it's going to activate it
there we go make a little noise I'm gonna bring close to my iphone
and straight away this is what I love about apple and ecosystem yes it's expensive when you're in it
yes it's expensive to get out of it but things just work so easily so hit continue
and now it's going to ask you what it is and where it's going to be inside here you've
got a range of different options so the first one is backpack bike camera handbag headphones
jackets keys luggage umbrella wallet or a custom name so this is going to be for my keys
you heard it ping it's come up with a location here and other information which is great so
that's really good to see here so I can go to the map here or I can press skip and I don't want to
show you the map at the moment i'll find a better option of showing you so that's how
easy it is to set up I'm going to go through the another one with me that's going to sit in my tech
bags that's going to be my tech bag and the other two are going to be for my partner so a handbag
and her keys but this is what it looks like it's really quite small compact design very shiny very
nice but let's learn a little bit more about it so apple will allow you to personalize your air
tags with emojis letters and numbers if you want to so you can identify them with family's initials
or a favourite number it's made from a laser etched polish stainless steel as i said i think this will
scratch very easily though depending on being in a handbag or with your keys so air tags are easy to
set up as I've shown you very easily have a built-in accelerometer plus Bluetooth le uses the ultra one
ultra wide band chip which will allow you to find your devices or say my partner walks past mine
and i can't find mine it will ping the location to me but don't show her so that's very clever offers
water and dust resistant ip67 rating so that will be okay for one meter up to 30 minutes no problems
built-in speaker as you heard and it will play a sound so let's check that out now
so in the find my application we've got Ricky's keys and I can play sound
so you can locate it this way which is great you can play it again if you want
to so notifications, if you want to get notifications you've got lost modes this
is where other users will try to find it we've also got battery percentage inside there as well
and you can find so this will bring up this new smart way now
it's here it's right here but if i bring my phone further away it's saying 1.4 feet away and i'll
show you as well where we're going to find it around the house and as i said so many YouTubers
have lost their keys recently or lost their tech back a big note to Marcus brown there where his
video is great filming great production there but that is the find my option therein
the find my app and the precision finding as soon as i start to move away it will try to locate it
which is great as i said that will work with the iphone 11 and iphone 12 series it uses NFC
tap for lost mode so that can help as well so it offers the ability to use Siri here in our Siri to
play the sound or find my keys so it's showing me there or i can actually jump into the app as well
if i need to and then begin that precision finding again it's going to be right near here so as
always from apple that your privacy is always key and they won't allow for unwanted tracking alerts
and you can stop this as much as you want and you choose so let's talk about the availability and
where you can purchase so you can buy now today from apple and other retailers here in the UK for
a single one it's 29 pounds or for four of them which is 99 pounds which is great I think saves
a little bit i think they've done a three-pack they would do so well but i know a lot of people
will pick up these four packs so that's the air tags there themselves we're going to set up the
other ones but as i said i did get also some key rings or key holders here from Belkin so i've
got a blue one and I've also got a black one so the the blue one's going to be for my partner black one
is for me so let's take a look at this one because she most probably wants to unbox that one herself
let's see the latest technology as I said apple do sell their own third-party options
so you can go and buy their own so you've got a clip here that you'll clip into
and you've got quite a sturdy ring here keyring to put onto your keys as well which is great
or you could put this on if you wanted to here but all you're going to do is take
the air tag put it inside here so this one it's already been opened let's set that inside there
with the apple logo so really strong clip there really well clipped in if you have the emoji or
like a motor or something on the back here that's where you'll see that then you use your
ring here thread that through the thread that on your keys and then i won't lose my keys so i did
recently have a tile i did use tile it battery ran out apple allowance, these and i agree apple is now
going to win this race between tile and air tanks because of the uk system and how well it works
just purely on that benefit because their ecosystem works so well and i'm going to
bring up a video about this because it's so important because apple just seems to make it work
compared to their competitors and i don't know why it's most probably because they have the ecosystem
they have the devices they have the software they know what works so well and they can integrate new
products this is a whole new category of products for apple but it just works so easily let me know
what you think though let's hear from you what do you think down below what do you think of the
find my application as well so this has this application here where it'll find your keys
for you or find your bag you can custom your own icons you can locate it if you have the
iphone 11 or 12 series you can precisionly find your products as well it will use that u1 chip
to help you find other people's products for them there are so many people out here with idevices
and iPhones that they will be able to help locate lost products a lot more easily which
i think is absolutely fantastic so always great to hear from you leave a comment down below to make
sure to stay subscribed or become a subscriber today by ringing that notification bell you'll be
updated with all of my latest videos and watch out for my giveaway which is coming very soon which
