When we placed the AirTag in our front garden and walked across the street until we were 30ft / 9 meters away, our iPhone formed a connection with the AirTag almost instantly and was able to guide us to it, without losing signal.Īs we’ve already mentioned, if you’re out of Bluetooth range of the AirTag, Apple’s Find My device network can help identify the location of your Key Finder. It eventually connected to the AirTag when it was 21ft / 6 meters away. As we moved closer, it managed to connect to the AirTag but the Signal was weak. However, our tests were conducted in a home with cavity walls, which often affects the reliability of Bluetooth connections between devices such as headphones and smartphones, and we found this to be the case with the Precision Finding feature, too.įor example, when we left the AirTag in the garden and moved inside, our iPhone 12 initially failed to establish a connection with the AirTag and asked us to move to a different location. On the whole, we found that the on-screen distance, which is displayed in feet or meters, and the directions, did make it faster to find our (deliberately hidden) AirTag. This uses Ultra Wideband radio technology to identify the distance and direction your iPhone is from the AirTag, and display this information on-screen and through haptic feedback to help you locate the AirTag. This is where the Precision Finding feature can help. In this instance, we had to tap the Play Sound option four times before we were able to get close enough to the AirTag to hear it. The short cycle of electronic beeps lasts just seven seconds, which is long enough to locate something in the same room or the one next to it, but didn’t suffice when we were upstairs and our ‘misplaced’ item was downstairs. We found that it took a few seconds for Find My to connect to the AirTag and emit three cycles of five electronic beeps, which registered 64db on our sound meter – loud enough that we could hear it from beneath the pile of cushions under which we’d buried it on the sofa.

Tapping the AirTag from the items list in the Find My app brings up several options, including Play Sound. It was also very simple to slip the AirTag into the leather key fob and loop accessories, enabling us to attach them to our keys, and the strap of a bag. We were able to assign a name to the AirTag, and it was assigned to our Apple ID, showing up in the Items tab. Once we’d removed the packaging, the AirTag emitted a short beep, and was immediately recognized by our iPhone. Like most iPhone accessories, the AirTag proved extremely simple to set up.

Lost mode enables a person who finds your AirTag to contact you.

Privacy features ensure your location can’t be tracked.

However, we found that over just a few days of use both sides of the AirTag have become scuffed as we’ve used it.Īpple hasn’t specified the Bluetooth range of AirTags, but we believe that it supports Bluetooth 5.0, which is the latest version of the technology, as that’s built into the iPhone 12, and it has a range of 800 feet / 240 meters.

The AirTag has an IP67 rating, so it’ll survive an accidental dunk in a deep puddle or the bath, and it’s also eligible for Apple’s free engraving service, so you can add text, numbers and emojis to the smooth plastic cover, making it easier to identify which AirTag is which if you have several of them.

If you want to attach it to keys or other items, optional key fobs and loops in leather and silicone can be purchased from Apple, or from third-party brands like Belkin. There’s no clip or tag on the AirTag as standard, but it can be slipped into a bag, wallet or coat pocket.

The stainless steel disc has a removable plastic cover, which secures the CR2032 battery that powers the AirTag, and a built-in speaker, which will emit a sound if the Find My app on an iPhone, iPad or Mac is used to identify its location.

Optional accessories mean it can be attached to key, bags and moreĪt about the size of a quarter or a £2 coin, the AirTag is extremely compact – it measures 1.26 x 1.26 x 0.31 inches / 3.19 x 3.19 x 0.8cm and weighs just 0.4oz / 11g.
