Apple suppliers they are preparing to generate ideas tags The company, which was found to be demanded by the iOS code 13. This is attributed to a secret show known as Ming-Chi Kuo, collected by MacRumors. As you may know, the Asian supply chain plans to start producing this material in the second and third quarters of 2020.
A possible launch in March, launched in late 2020
In a letter from TF International Securities, obtained by MacRumors, Keo said that Universal Science Industry would move forward package of tags, taking care of about 60% of the total. Similar to those inside AirPods, package It can be a very [very technical] cycle and can include a chip designed for Apple U1's Ultra-wideband support.
We've seen the concept of SiP not only on AirPods, but also on Apple Watch since its inception. Group a large number of mixed circles in the same "package" and is responsible for most of the functions in the electronic system. In the case of this AirTag, we can deal with a lot of programs but also very simple ones.
Rumors obtained by MacRumors indicate the start of the first production. That is, in the first weeks or months, providers will be reviewing and correcting the process beforehand make a leap in public. Ku has not yet announced a specific launch date for AirTag, other than to say that it will happen in the first half of 2020.
This date range may go into two events: rumors about the end of March no June's WWDC itself. This opens up a series of opportunities that we have seen repeated over the past.
The presentation in March, launched late this year
When Apple introduces a new product, it usually does so with some expectations. Those representing the new category of the company, are announced at a later time they continue to sell over time. Following Apple's history, we can see that this has always been the case:
- Original iPhone: launched in January 2007, launched in June 2007.
- Original IP: launched in January 2010, launched in April 2010.
- Apple Watch: launched in September 2014, launched in April 2015.
- AirPods: launched in September 2016, launched in December 2016.
- HomePod: launched in June 2017, launched in February 2018.
AirTag can follow the same launch pattern in March and launch in June or September. During the month of WWDC, I would probably just go outside because it's not a hardware-focused event. However, September is possible and was buried for the new iPhone.
Possible AirTag compatibility: iPhone 9 and iPhone 11 onwards
The the main function of these AirTags their use of "skiing" to find lost items. It's the same as Tile but integrated into the newly-launched Search app on iOS 13. So, we can always get it into a backpack or bag to know your location all the time.
Your integration with iOS will allow you to use it a new U1 chip, which is currently on the iPhone 11. The chip mentioned was not mentioned in the September keynote, a presentation many thought was made soon. The relationship between U1 and AirTag will be completely, since between them you can set things up correctly.
With the iOS 13 code leak, We know that these iPhone's will be able to see augmented reality, balloons indicate the exact location of the item. That is why AirTags is failing to match the current iPhone 11 with the one that came out in September of this year. At the very least, in the accuracy feature enabled by the Ultra-Broadband chip.
And any other terminals? They were unable to provide the exact accuracy of the app and consequently nor it will be compatible with the task. But they may be able to recognize the tags by emitting a sound that reflects their position. For any AirTag compatibility, we will leave you in doubt for a few weeks.
