    Any thoughts what the accelerometer is for or possible future uses?

    I think video is missing a key feature. Unlike all these other trackers that require you to download an app and others as well to get the most out of it. The airtag doesn’t. When it comes in contact other iPhones it gives a location to you. That’s a far more reliable to me.
  • I’m using it for our son going to Disney world! We bought an after market watch insert

    Quick and simple; that’s how I like my videos.
  • @UKMARCO7
    But you didn’t discussed how far you can tracked the tag? For example a mile or over a mile? Can you still tracked the tag?

    I was skeptical and did a lot of research about this device until I bought it today to test. I told my sister to put it in her pocket when she leaves home. Sure enough she left with it, 15 min later, it showed me she was at her home. Then I see that it pings every 2-5 min of location. This thing is going to work wonders for me. If you guys don’t believe, go watch where the guy decides to ship one to Apple HQ, another one to SpaceX HQ and the 3rd one to North Korea. So interesting.
  • I’m hoping to buy these for Burning Man for me & my friend to place them on our bikes, our camp, & on our body accessories. Will 2 iPhones work on 1 AirTag?

    Would be better if like Tile, it had a small button on the tag that you could find your phone with if you only have the AirTag and have misplaced your phone.

    I got myself one at release and although it’s not perfect, still worth the small price since all my stuff is apple.. the cohesion in Find My is great. One issue, and it may be my iPhone.. it’s an 11, the first to have a U1 chip. But it’s horrible at finding the AirTag until I’m within like 5’ of it which is weird. In find my app it will always be within 20 yards of where it actually is. That’s not fantastic but it’s a start.. if I leave my backpack somewhere I know where because it’s pretty easy to narrow down and remember the spot I was at. When I tap play sound though, instant. So that is a plus cause that makes it very easy to find when you start getting close. I got the cheapo Belkin keyring holder and it’s actually been great.. felt weird spending $15 on that but glad I did cause it’s held up and looks new still even though the AirTag is all scratched up inside it. One of these with a Belkin holder is gonna be about $50 shipped direct from apple but it’s so versatile. For instance, i unpaired and put on my grandmas iCloud before she flew cross country and I put it in a zippered pocket in her checked bag. She was really happy to be able to see where it was at all times. I paid $30 for it two years ago and it’s been great. Bought a cheap pack of ten batteries and have only replaced twice now. Solid product/good investment 👌👍

    Will this notify the user when the AirTag is x number of feet away from the iPhone?
  • @Chilltown95
    No precision finding on XS equals a pass for me. Find my is so bad in general too
  • @iamgriff
    would have been nice to hear you talk about weather exposure, UV rays, and cold temperatures.
  • @tomlam3680
    I only have an IPhone XS, can I use the AirTag ? Or it needs an IPhone 11 or 12?
  • If your far away can You still connect to the AirTag like if your 6 miles away was wanting to put it in my car so that way if my car gets stolen I’ll know here it is

    Does this work for tracking your pets? I paid a fortune for Jiobit trackers for my cats. It would have been much cheaper to use these if so.
