Apple may be on the verge of launching its long-rumored AirTags, and in doing so, it will be a strong competitor to Tile trackers, which use Bluetooth connectivity to help you find lost devices. What can you do with AirTags? Here are 7 unique functions AirTags trackers can perform based on recent rumors.
Lost mode
AirTags devices may have a lost mode and you can use it when your item is lost. In Lost Mode, the AirTag will send a signal that any nearby iPhone can detect. When the iPhone owner comes near the missing item, he will send the AirTag owner's contact information to his phone. The person who found the AirTag can then contact the owner and tell them where to find it.
Integration with Find My feature
AirTag can be attached to another item and then located using the Find My app on iPhone, iPad and Mac computers. And since AirTags fully integrate with Apple's system, they don't require a third-party app like Tile. This is a huge benefit for Apple device owners.
Augmented Reality and AirTags
Apple is expected to include augmented reality features in its AirTags system. When you lose your AirTag, the Find My app may use augmented reality to help you locate your AirTag in a room, for example. It is assumed that he will use the balloon mark "which is used in maps to determine your location, for example" to accurately inform you of the location of the item. Code in iOS 13 contains text that says, "Walk several feet and slide the iPhone up and down until a balloon appears."
Audio signals
Find My app will help you locate lost device attached to AirTag tracker through sounds. These audio signals will notify you when you are near your AirTag.
Alert to move away from the device
AirTags will be equipped with a unique feature that will allow you to alert you that devices attached to AirTag are away from you or a location. For example, you can set an AirTag tracker attachment to a "remote control" and set your living room as a safe border. If someone grabs the remote control and enters the other room, you will receive a warning alert, and likewise if the device is away from you for a certain distance, you will also be alerted, and this is useful in the event that your phone is forgotten somewhere, stolen, or it has fallen and you do not know.
Water resistant, replaceable battery
There's still a lot we don't know about AirTags, but rumors suggest they may be waterproof, allowing you to use them in wet areas or on items that might get wet. It was not clear for certain whether Apple would use a replaceable battery or a rechargeable battery.
To launch in March
John Prosser, one of the famous leakers, recently claimed in a tweet that AirTags are expected to be launched next March, and added that "he has not heard of any delays from this date," noting that Apple has worked to fix the bugs and problems related to them, and that they are ready To launch the device as soon as next month.
This information confirms another recent rumor from analyst Kuo who reported last month that Apple plans to launch AirTags in 2021.
Apple is also reportedly planning to launch an updated version of the iPad Pro alongside AirTags trackers. It is expected to come with a mini-LED screen that improves battery life and delivers great picture. Apple may also introduce a new chipset to improve performance, but the overall design of the tablet is expected to remain the same.
