The results of the Find My internet are definitely impressive.

Those iPhone models feature the U1 chip with Ultra Wide Band technology just like the AirTag.

That combination unlocks what Apple calls Precision Finding.

Most Apple products are premium products with a premium price.

But thats really not the case with the AirTag.

A single AirTag is $29.

The Tile Mate and Chipolo One are around $25 each.

And neither of those offer the wide Find My data pipe.

And the Tile option doesnt offer a user-replaceable battery.

So that might save you some cash if you only want to use it for a keyring.

But the AirTag can be used to track a wide variety of different objects.

One of the most unique ways for using AirTags is to keep track of pets.

The Find My app is natively available on the Mac and iPad.

And even on your Apple Watch, you’re free to find AirTags using the Find Items app.
