      Most modern cars are much harder to steal but it is too bad that a sophisticated car thief will know how to detect that your car has an AirTag and then search and remove it before taking it to a chop shop.

      Not everyone wants a keyring for it, some want to just put into a little pouch or pocket of a wallet or backpack

    Nobody cares about Air Tags. Before people come at me, what I mean is that this is niche and only for the Apple diehards, not regular people

    Key word “if you are in bluetooth range”. Basically its the same as tile. utterly worthless.

    • aaron parys

      April 21, 2021 at 1:04 am

      Did you watch the whole video? Other peoples Phone can detect the Device and send a signal back to your phone without them even knowing!!

  16. Ace_NX

    April 21, 2021 at 12:01 am

    See that Nintendo switch you got there

  17. nuyou21

    Finally, Apple released AirTags. It almost makes you feel sorry for poor shameless Samsung’s SmartTags. 🤦‍♂️😂

  18. Chris Teasdale

    April 21, 2021 at 12:24 am

    If you are saying it only works in Bluetooth range, watch again, you are getting it.

    Finally, apple catches up with the Tile company after 6 years. Good job

  22. Javathehut

    April 21, 2021 at 1:11 am

    I was actually thinking of getting it but saw it was only compatible for iPhone 8 😂😂😂😂

  23. Sarcastic Tech

    April 21, 2021 at 1:17 am

    Can’t wait to order these and replace my tiles they literally only work half the time. Apple using find my technology is gonna change the game

  24. aaron parys

    April 21, 2021 at 1:24 am

    This will be handy!! ..Lets see now where should we put them: Bicycle, Wallet, Keys, Put one in the Car, Tool Box, Camera Bag, Musical instruments/Amp etc.. Question are they water proof?

  25. Ridwan Djanam

    April 21, 2021 at 7:53 am

    What if u have a crazy ex/stalker and he/she puts it somewhere in your car. That’s creepy!

    • M

      April 21, 2021 at 12:45 pm

      See 2:00, they already thought of that.

    Make an airtag for glasses. There’s no worse feeling in the world when losing your glasses and not being able to see

    • Con Sorts

      April 21, 2021 at 11:17 am

      get Croakies, and hang a find sensor off of that.

    • Andy the Cat

      April 21, 2021 at 2:18 pm

      Preach! One time I lost both of my prescription glasses!😭

  27. TalsVids

    Disappointed that there was no geofence type feature mentioned with the AirTags.
    This would be extremely useful for example if you left your bag, backpack in a restaurant, or even on a train, and you would receive a notification on your iPhone as you were about to leave the restaurant, train. Seems a big feature omission, as other manufacturers have this feature from what I can remember reading.

  28. V Mag

    Apple Air Tags are useless for anti theft. The anti stalker feature will alert the thief that they are being stalked. Lol

  29. Apple Tree

    Can’t wait to see AirTags Pro.

      Probably left them in 1789.

      😛 lol

    So basically these work exactly like Tile. Except instead of relying on other Tile users to find things outside Bluetooth range it uses other iPhones. That’s neat.

    Still waiting for when someone will create and release true GPS style tags so I can track which park my daughter dropped her favorite Elsa doll in.

    Will Airtags work with older iPhones? I have the XS

    • seeblue54

      April 21, 2021 at 2:24 pm

      Yes. Any iPhone running iOS 14.5. Older iPhones (older than iPhone 11) w/o the UI chip won’t be able to use the new directional finding tools in the app when close up. But the audio ping will still work. IOW, for older phones, Find My for AirTags will work just as it does for a lost, stolen or misplaced iPhone.

    April 21, 2021 at 1:05 pm

    Looking forward to my girlfriend hiding one in my car so she can track me at the gentlemans club 😐

    Great, now I don’t need to wait 9 months for a new kid whenever I lose one…

    • Darth Sidious

      April 21, 2021 at 2:30 pm

      But . Don’t you have a ton of clones and boba?

    • Jango

      April 21, 2021 at 2:49 pm

      @Darth Sidious Yes, but it’s more fun doing it the ‘old fashioned way’. 😉 Boba’s a pussy…I ditched him on Tatooine light years ago…

    • Darth Sidious

      April 21, 2021 at 2:56 pm

      @Jango ah , yes . I see

    I don’t think you know what a homing beacon is. Hardly helps your cred as a tech channel, does it?

  38. iSlandeRon

    April 21, 2021 at 1:48 pm

    LOL that thumb nail. I thought someone was wearing it like a earring.

  39. Rudie Obias

    Do they have batteries? How do you charge them? Edit: never mind question answered last few seconds of the video.

  42. Barackus

    Can I use one to find my soulmate?

    • franklingoodwin

      April 21, 2021 at 10:50 pm

      No, only to track them once you’ve found them 😆

  43. David Sposato

    April 21, 2021 at 9:35 pm

    If you don’t wanna lose things, well, don’t lose ’em!
    no need for another battery device
