What is an Air Tag

[Atomic1977]

What in the hell is an air tag? I’ve seen them around but don’t know exactly what it is.

If your question is serious... An AirTag from Apple is a small, round Bluetooth tracker that allows you to easily find personal items such as keys, bags, bicycles, suitcases or your children 😎 and much more via the "Where is?" app.

When you’re “it” in a game of tag with other kids, but they’re all faster than you, so you get as close as you can and swipe at their shirt tail. You miss but yell “tag! You’re it!” anyways.

Purchase Airtag + Air Tag Holder -the Holder has the Essential KeyRing piece. Use Find My to mapview Airtag location.

Airtag is a very nu-gen thing;

Think we invent solutions to problems no one should be having.
Think we then hype them, a lot, after which period we launch them as solutions to problems no one should be having.
Now folks buy them, are getting used to them, all of a sudden, they can't do without them.

In our case?
They -apparently- require help finding even the most basic of their belongings.
Yeap, just so, one more thing we'd managed doing just fine using brain cells for a few millennia in a row?
Now we need gizmos. Just could not otherwise.

Nu-gen.
Very popular.

For you, before you.
Or as they say in another equally large software corporation?
Very exciting. You should buy one.

It's for hiding under your wife's car, so you can track where she goes. 🫣

That sounds very sad.

 

[sholkur]

it's your own 1984 in a large button.

You can be the tracking company for individual items like google is for your opinions.

or you could just be friends with your wife on Find My?

I've usually only ever heard of airtags being used to recover stolen items, but to each their own i guess

Stunned that people don't know what these are.

It's a little tag that can be used to track lost items. Throw it on a key ring and if you lose your keys it will help you find them. Throw it in a wallet and if you lose your wallet it will help you find it.

Etc.

Apple has a page here if it's still confusing:

I like to swallow them whole and follow them with my phone.

Oh cool sounds pretty neat.
