button followed by the bell so 2021 looks to be a great year from apple with loads of new tech
coming from them if you are a massive fan of apple devices and cannot wait to see what they'll bring
in 2021 hit that like button and let me know what apple tech you are most looking forward to in the
comments as well last year in 2020 we got a whole lot of refreshed products in the iphones the ipads
and the mac ranges we also saw the introduction of the apple silicon mac as well however in december
we actually got the first brand new product let's start with that leak and it's a good place to
start to be fair the leak comes from mac boomers reader david chu who has found out that the hidden
items tab in the find my app can be enabled on ios 14.3 and later by typing in the link find my
forward slash items into safari and tapping on open in the prompted that appears and you can
clearly see a bag a bike and some keys on this page and these are items that you clearly attach
air tags to but let's not get ahead of ourselves here and let's ask the questions what are air tags
so in short apple have been creating a tile-like bluetooth tracking device apple are to call these
devices air tags as mentioned they are small tracking tiles with bluetooth connectivity
that can be used to find lost items there are several similar products on the market such as
tile but apple's version will be more deeply integrated with apple of devices of course
these are designed to be attached to items like keys and wallets for tracking purposes
letting you find them right in the find my app on your iphone or on your ipad or logging into
your icloud air tags will have built-in chips that will allow them to connect to an iphone
relaying the position of devices that they're attached to
you'll be able to use your iphone ipad and mac to track the location of air tags much the same
way how you find missing apple devices like your phone or your ipad tags work in close proximity
and really files away as well so say you've left your keys with a tag on them 100 miles away
what will happen is if an item is not nearby and cannot be located you can put them into lost mode
in this mode if another iphone user comes along the lost item they'll be able to see your contact
information so they can send you a text or give you a phone call to let you know they
have found your missing item you'll also receive a notification as soon as say another iphone comes
across your lost item so it will beep and show and tell you the exact location of where it is
on top air tags are rumored to have more accurate than your average bluetooth item tracker like the
tile because they're said to take advantage of the new ultra wide band technology that apple
are bringing out in loads of their devices which basically gives more accurate indoor positioning
apple's newest iphones airpod mini and a few other products have a u1 ultra wide band chip so they're
going to be able to track ultra wide band equipped air tags more precisely more than traditional
bluetooth for the actual design of the air tags john prosser who has a bit of a mix track record
when it comes to apple but has managed to redeem himself quite a lot within the last year shared
renders that he says are based on the actual designs of the actual air tags the renders feature
a flat white disc with no logo on the front and the silver backing with an apple logo on the other
side he said in size they were a bit bigger than say an average bottle cap it's also been mentioned
that apple will be bringing out leather pouches and key ring holders for these tags as well
with the latest iphone 12 and the magsafe and the little pouches for cards i can see this actually
happening for the actual release date of these air tags john prosser again reports that apple had
delayed the launch of air tags until march of 2021 and when you actually think about that that's only
a few weeks away but to be honest i understand why apple have delayed them with the pandemic
that we have had in 2020 where people are meant to be staying indoors much more not going out really
it wasn't really probably the best time to launch such a product and that is why we got the airpods
max instead without the actual air tags air tags have been on the cards for quite a while to be
fair in fact in a beta of ios 13 there was even mentions and bits and pieces about air tags even
at that stage so apple have been sitting on this product for a while now waiting to release it
take a look at this old ios 13 beta league you can see quite clearly in the picture
here the word air tag shown we definitely know they are coming so for release date and price
personally i believe we'll be seeing them in march time just like what any of the rumors and the
leakers out there are saying i believe we will see them alongside the brand new ipad pro with the a14
z or x chipset in it and also the new ipad mini as well but for price there's no word on what apple
air tags will actually cost at this point in time but similar products from other companies like
tile that i mentioned earlier priced their tags between 25 to 35 for a single bluetooth tracker
so we expect apple to price maybe a little bit more because you do have that ultra wide band
chip inside and also at the same time as well you have bluetooth capability so we expect the
price to probably be just under 50 us dollars apple may also sell these tags in a pack of
two or four as well for families but again we are not too sure if this is true or not however again
no price has been officially confirmed for these tags at the moment i personally believe the tags
are a really good idea however the company tile for example have been selling these for years and
for apple to branch into this technology now in my opinion is a bit late in the day however having
said that apple are a company who get a product and then work on it for a while and make it better
just look at the recent magsafe wireless charging technology inside the new iphone 12 models yes
apple were quite late to the party to put wireless charging in their phones in fact
if you remember the first wireless charging phones were actually the iphone 8 and also the iphone 10
or x or whatever you want to call it but they've worked on that technology over the last few years
and created this new magsafe charging but i'm fairly sure other brands will want to replicate
something similar even though they've had wireless charging in their phones for a longer time
i believe that apple will do the exact same on these air tags here
they have seen the technology they think it is good and they believe they can make it better
they will build on the idea and over time i'm sure it will be a great success so just quickly that
giveaway i mentioned earlier to possibly get your hands on that iphone 12 pro pacific blow i want to
know from you would you be buying something like this the apple tags let me know in the comments
