Here’s everything Apple unveiled at the Spring Loaded event:
AirTag
AirTag, as you may know already, is Apple’s take on Tile and other object tracking solutions. It comes with a U1 chip and works with other U1-enabled devices (which includes iPhone 11 and after). Basically, attach it to the devices you are likely to lose or miss, and when you have a hard time finding them, fire up the AirTag from the Find My section and it lets you get hold of the lost or missing object thanks to visual, haptic, and audio response. Apple assures it won’t be tracking people and also highlighted features such as unwanted tag detection, audible alerts, and rotating identifiers. ALSO READ: Poco X3 Pro Review
