Review of AirTag

How much time do you waste looking for things around your house? Here is some help. The AirTag is a device that you can use with your iPhone. It lets you find things in your house, like your keys or wallet. It can tell you exactly where your keys are, even if they are far away. It can also show you where to find them.

The AirTag uses Bluetooth to connect with your iPhone or iPad. It also uses Wi-Fi to send its location to people. It works with iPhones that are new or old. To find an item, you open the Find My app, choose it and click Find. The app will connect to the AirTag and guide you to it.

I decided to give it a test. I used it to find my car key, a wallet and my car. First, I asked my son to hide an AirTag tied to my car key somewhere in our house. Apple’s Find My app showed me an arrow pointing to a bed, and I touched a button to make the AirTag play a sound. After looking under the bed, I found the AirTag and key. It took half a minute.

The most difficult experiment was an AirTag hidden inside a wallet. My app pointed toward a wardrobe, but it couldn’t tell me which jacket the tag was inside. After removing four jackets from the wardrobe, I finally found the correct jacket with the AirTag. This provided my family with three minutes of entertainment.

Finally, to test how the AirTag worked when it was far from my phone, I put it in my husband’s car and set it to lost mode. When my husband went for a drive, nearby smartphones helped me find where my husband had driven. The location updates came every 5 or 10 minutes.

In conclusion, the AirTag is not perfect. It’s very quiet, so playing a sound isn’t very helpful for finding it. Also, it needs a special key ring to hold it. But if you lose things regularly, you might find it very useful. The prices of many similar things have dropped a lot recently, so many users hope they can afford the AirTag soon.
