It has been a few months since AirTags were officially presented. Apple’s tracking devices have joined the ecosystem, and thanks to them, we can have our valuables always on the map. And in this period, there is no shortage of those who have decided to test labels to their limits.
The key function of AirTags is their integration into the research network. For those who do not know it, it is the network formed between all compatible Apple devices with Search. In other words, a network made up of millions of devices around the world. This allows AirTags to be detected even without being close to them.
The beacons constantly send a signal that is picked up by nearby Apple devices, while sharing anonymously the location of these. Based on this, a YouTuber decided to put them to the test by sending them to different parts of the world. North Korea, Elon Musk’s office and Tim Cook’s office.
In the first two cases, the AirTags simply disappeared, or ended up in recycling factories. However, the third yes that it has reached its destination, but not in the hands of Tim Cook. One of Apple’s CEO assistants sent the label back to Germany with a letter (which oddly has rounded corners).
The letter is little more than apologies for not being able to attend this kind of correspondence, and in which the creativity of customers to do such tests is appreciated. Of course, it would have been great to see a response from Tim Cook himself, especially knowing that it would go viral. But it seems that there was not such a chance. The good news is, you’ve collected that AirTag.
