Good news Apple AirTags are available at a reduced price!
AirTags are the newest product from Apple. Still little understood, these little technological details are certainly more interesting than you think. On the occasion of Amazon’s little promotion for the set of 4 AirTags, it’s time to talk a little bit about it.
Ah the AirTags. It’s crazy how such a small object can really change our lives, very simple. This small pellet with a diameter of 3 cm contains 3 technologies: NFC, Bluetooth and Ultra Wideband. A small battery allows 1 year of autonomy. Everything in an IP67-certified metal housing that is rain and even underwater resistant.
Okay, but what is it for? To precisely locate each object. Virtually an AirTag turns almost any object into a connected object. An AirTag fits in a wallet, fits in a backpack, hangs on keys … in short, it fits everywhere. Two minutes after the configuration on an iPhone (the time to give the device a name and assign an emoji) the AirTag is ready to use.
Usually sold for 119 $, the 4 AirTags only cost 104 $ on Amazon.

Rest assured, the AirTags is not connected to the internet, it does not suck up all the location data of your objects in order to pass them on to Apple. Everything happens between the AirTags and your iPhone (or Watch … or iPad … or Mac). If you lose your key, all you have to do is pull out your cell phone to either ring or follow an ultra-precise arrow that will guide you to the lost item with centimeter precision. Everything works in bluetooth, a few tens of meters away from you. You can get your keys in your hands in one operation on your smartphone or in a request to Siri.
If you need to look beyond your house or apartment (for example, if your wallet has been forgotten somewhere), there is a “Lost” mode that shows you the last place this item was last discovered … by any Apple -Device. Yeah, that’s pretty crazy. A passerby with an iPhone just has to pass your AirTag in “Lost” mode and you will receive a notification with an exact GPS location. Yes, it even helps find a thief. And all while you protect your data.
Every time Apple comes out with a new product, many critics don’t even try to understand it, repeating over and over that it’s just a useless gimmick … until that “gimmick” comes into everyone’s life.
Just to take the most recent examples, AirPods have received a lot of derision. Who does not remember the “ridiculous, they have cotton swabs in their ears” thought. Or even pictures of people cutting the wire from their headphones with scissors to joke the price of the product. These days, AirPods are a huge hit, and even Android users roam the streets wearing wireless headphones.
It was the same with the Apple Watch. At first it was seen as a gadget. Today Apple is the largest watch seller in the world. More Apple Watches are sold each year than all Swiss watchmakers put together. You can check this is real information.
In short, it’s always the same. Before the technology is better understood and crossed the circle of famous “early adopters”, people laugh at it. Then, when people see that they can easily simplify their lives with some sort of key fob, they will start buying AirTags en masse.
