hey this is paul from wondershare mobile trans and today we're gonna have a look at
something which apple has released and this is brand new and we have been talking about this
for years you'd have heard rumors about it for the past two years or so but this is the unboxing and
a first look at the brand new product that apple have called air tags you might have missed what
air tags are and if you have missed what they are let me tell you what they are all about
so these are little small chips that you attach to your keys to your bag to anything that you don't
want to lose and they do not cost a lot of money they are only 29 or 29 pounds depending on where
you are in the world and they are a really really simple unboxing inside the box you get a little
bit of paperwork which tells you what you should do with air tags and when you open up the air tags
you can see there it is in the center there is the air tank but either side it gives you a bit
of an instruction on how you can use these air tags so you can see it on the first side there
then on the right side it gives you a little bit more information on how you should pair
the air tag but first let's take a look at that air tag itself sat in the center which if you
want you can go onto the apple website and you can get them custom engraved which is what i have done
here and they are so tiny these things i would say they are no bigger than a a coin so when you
attach these to your keys and everything they just do not get in the way at all and they are covered
by this small little bit of plastic which you need to remove to make sure that the air tag is
activated you give it a bit of a pull there which i'm struggling with but as soon as you give it a
bit of a pull it makes a bit of a sound and then your air tag is ready to pair with your iphone
and there's some really interesting tech inside this but one of the best things about the air tag
is that it is user replaceable with the battery so once this battery runs out apple have said it
will last for about a year but once it has run out you don't need to take it to an apple store
you just pop off the back of the battery and you put a new one in and it is simple as that but i
also had to get hold of this is the airtag leather keyring and the one thing about air tags which is
more annoying than anything is that this leather key ring costs more than the tech itself so this
is six dollars or six pounds more expensive than the actual air tanks so this cost me 35
pounds and you need this to attach it to your keys because you can't actually put the air tag itself
onto anything without a key holder and there's lots of these going around on amazon and other
websites like ebay which are a little bit cheaper and don't have the quality of this one from apple
and once you put it in there it is ready then to put onto your keys but we should be really now
putting this together with the iphone so let's get ready to do that with the pairing process
one of the nicest things about air tags is the way that you pair them to your iphone so
if you've ever had a pair of airpods or airpods max it works the exact same way so you hold the
air tag close to your iphone and it will pop up on the screen and you only have to select
connect and once you select connect it gives you a lot of different options to where your air tag
might be so these are the most popular options that apples thinks that you're going to attach
your air tag to so it's nice and easy to select what you want you can also select the custom one
as well and then it'll attach it to your apple id and with this you can only have up to 16
air tags selected to one apple id and i don't think anyone else is going to have more than 16
air tags connected to a single apple id but it is as simple as that for the setup
it takes no time at all and the way you use this is by going into the find my app
the find my app has been there sat dormant really on iphones for quite a long time
and this is where you find your air tags this is the way it all works so you go down to the
bottom there and you can see all you have to do is select one of those tabs and it shows you exactly
where your keys are and now this is where the tech really does come in so these air tags use ultra
wide band technology which means that if they're within 100 meters of an iphone that supports
it like an iphone 11 or iphone 11 pro you can actually find your keys with this little ui that
comes up on the phone so it sends out a signal and it will give you directions to exactly where your
air tag is which is really handy if you're inside your apartment or your house because you can see
here it's telling me it's 1.5 feet away the closer you get to it it starts to do a vibration so the
closer you get the more the vibration is and you can also play a sound from the air tag itself so
you can find it a little easier okay let's give you an example of how this works so i've hidden
my keys somewhere in my apartment and all i have to do is click find keys and it does give it a
few seconds just to make sure it can locate it and it says here it is 10 feet away to my right so i
follow the arrows and you can see that this ui actually looks really nice on the iphone it then
becomes green when you're facing the right direction and of course the keys are hidden
just there underneath the cushions so move these cushions out of the way and then you'll notice in
a second that when i'm on it i'll place the iphone just above the keys there and this is what happens
it says it's here it gives you a vibration and you know that your air tags are there
the design of air tanks looks really nice and it fits in really well with that apple ecosphere if
you are part of that already and something that is actually really nice is that these are actually
waterproof resistant with an ip67 rating so that means that they can be submerged in water
up to one meter for 30 minutes but this is something i'm going to suggest you don't try
so if they get caught in rain then that should be absolutely fine but let's not go putting it into
a fish tank for example because that is just a little bit silly these do overall look really good
they're maybe a little bit expensive because you can get things from a company called tile and they
do very similar things but tiles are a little bit more difficult to find because they rely on other
tiles whereas air tanks what happens the way you can find them if you lose them out and about is
that they actually use an ultra wide band chip to bounce off iphones to let you know exactly where
it is and it is all encrypted so nobody but you knows where your air tag is not even apple has any
idea where it might be but there we go there is the unboxing of apple's air tags let us know what
