How AirTags Work

Apple recently introduced AirTags, and if you aren’t familiar with item trackers, you may not understand the point of this $29 white plastic puck. They are similar to a product called Tile, but offer many advantages like Ultra-Wide band technology thanks to Apple's custom U1 chip, and a built-in speaker. So what exactly are AirTags? And more importantly, how do they work if you decide to buy one? Well that's exactly what I'll be explaining in this video about Apple's new AirTags.

Also I’m not sure about this but if I happen to lose my MacBook and it’s turned off I think find my only shows the last location where it’s been connected. I think apple should integrate the same technology of AirTags to other products, where the find my device is able to take a bit of battery from Mac, iPad, iPhone… so they can be located even if turned off.

I agree that there should be protections against people being tracked maliciously. On the hand, if someone steals my car, they shouldn't be given a heads up that they are being tracked. There ought to be a way to go through a certification process whereby an owner can authenticate themselves, vouch that this tag is going to be protecting this item that they own.

[@god.valley]

I think a kyc should be integrated in it. And a sentry mode. For example if some places an AirTag in your car to track you and for an extended period of time I think it should say “joes smith is tracking you”. And I think allowing families /certain contacts can be not notified in a sense like an inner circle so for family trips etc it doesn’t always come up. Furthermore I think future car manufacturers should set up a unique holder for cars and when compromised the car/tracker alerts you

Sir this was an enjoyable experience, thank you for your thorough explanation.

[@maca9596]

Thanks. That was a very profound explanation. While I knew how it works, what I learnt from this video is the way the tags identify “malicious activity” by tracking how long it’s been away from the owner. But there’s a flip-side to it, a big one. If someone steals my bag 💼, and is quite far away for me to reach soon, this feature will end up notifying the “thief” that he’s being tracked which defeats the entire purpose of using the air tag. In the choice between saving a stalking victim or tracking a thief, they chose the former. Not sure how informed and thought out the decision was, because The severity of each case is always subjective.

[@RightOnTarget1]

As I noted elsewhere, where the AirTag fails is the stolen item scenario. Apple is so worried about stalkers that they made it useless for finding stolen items. It alerts the thief and helps them find it so they can discard it. Tile does it better, especially the flat credit card model that fits in your billfold.

@@RightOnTarget1 Yeah but its better to have something stolen than someone to be stalked and potentially harmed - Although I do agree with the form factor argument. It will become better if things start having AirTag tech built in (I believe Apple showed off some bikes) or provide convoluted, hidden compartments to place AirTags then people aren't going to mess about. If someone steals your bag and then get a notification that they're being tracked - if they cant quickly find it they'll more likely ditch it bc its not worth the payoff to be caught.

How does the AirTag differentiate between it getting stolen by someone and it being used maliciously to track someone? In both scenarios the AirTag would be with someone else.

[@bigearn8782]

Yup. If stolen, looks like the thief would be notified there's a tracking device in the area. Can you imagine being in an airplane and every Apple user gets a notification? By a dozen other users?

[@teeesen]

If a thief with an iPhone steals your tagged ex-possession, Apple will tell you where the thing is long before the thief is told you might be stalking them. Furthermore, if you report your thing as stolen to the police, there is the possibility that Apple would tell them where the thief is -or at least their iphone- even after they’ve deactivated or disposed of the tag. I’m not entirely sure that Apple can or would do that. How well encrypted is your location information on their servers? Any way even if your thief does get a stalker alert and disposes of the tag, you are no worse off (other than being out the cost of one air tag) for having tagged your thing and possibly better off. On the other hand, a thief with an Android can use Apple’s anti-stalking app to tell them that there is a hidden airtag in your prize possession without their phone ratting out their location. So this is a selling point for Andoids over iPhones in the criminal phone market.

@@FAB-ix9fu This was touched on in the video and I’ve seen a few articles on it. It’s a very creepy scenario.

For example if a partner goes to a women’s (or men’s, but it’s usually women’s) shelter or a friend’s house, 24 period is way too long, especially given that a stalker can renew that grace period even without being able to access the device - as I understand it, just being in Bluetooth range for a few minutes would be good enough to reset the count down.

Can we get a video on the strange power connector in the new iMac with ethernet port integrated into the package.

[@Arthur-mz6px]

How will this help you if something is stolen with the tag in it. Will the person who took it be notified of the tracker and be able to dispose of it?

[@-JonnyBoy-]

Be interesting to read the user agreement on an iPhone to see where it says you agree to pass on someone else's location information through your phone lol Makes you wonder what the hell else is hidden in that agreement.

[@heyspookyboogie644]

I wish the offline behavior was integrated into all of their products. Laptops, phones and tablets should have effectively an air tag built in that can ping with the phone off so someone can’t just turn the phone off of trying to steal it.

[@SamPhoenix_]

iPhones do use the same tech, your phone will still ping off other iphone users and update its location, but it can be turned off temporarily - which is fine, except from the fact it can still be turned off when the phone is in lost mode.

Dude ur transitions to all ikr and subscribe are too smooth

[@TravellingTech]

Explained really well

[@chadholmes7051]

Nice vid thanks I’m a bit dubious on the measures to prevent malicious use if it were not such an Apple only thing would be more secure I’m seeing stories of them popping up on high end cars already nice way to scope out for the perfect theft But I guess that’s one downside to the technology.

[@FAB-ix9fu]

I'm amazed that nobody is talkin about the REAL reason why people are buying this new Gadget for : Jealous husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, significant others, enemies and even noisy creepy neighbors are placing this in your car to track every move you make in your vehicle.. TOTALLY SCARY !! 😨

[@chrisgo2379]

Say somebody takes your purse. You turn on Lost mode. If the people with your purse has their own iPhone, will their iPhone still notify them an Airtag had been following them?

[@jasontodd9302]

I think it has to be a continuous 72 hours

Very well explained and concise

[@jennifercadena4840]

Straight to the point loved it

Imagine this cross platform. It would be much more effective

[@YatoVi0]

It’s

[@bill454]

Good video. Airtag uses Bluetooth which is a low-powered radio transceiver in your phone. Bluetooth range is only about 30 feet. At long distances the big reveal for me is that the airtag will secretly activate nearby iphones to send you location without the iphone users knowledge.

[@FAB-ix9fu]

Yes, it will activate .

[@youngboyh3067]

Would the air tag notify the person being tracked for Apple users without having Bluetooth on or would it give a notification telling them someone’s air tag is near you regardless of Bluetooth being on

[@manav7205]

Congratulations on 700K

[@rayoflight62]

Great video, thanks. The idea that one's iPhone is involuntarily taking part in a shared locator network may sound creepy, to be honest. This locator function gives the impression that Apple is behaving like they are the owner of all iPhones, but they are not. On the bright side of things, Airtags are a revolutionary breakthrough, but not a spying device, since it warns the neighboring iPhone of its presence; I only whished Android had something similar...

[@QuantumNetwork]

It does indeed sound creepy but since they said it doesn’t use up battery and it’s all encrypted I am perfectly okay if it helps me or someone else find a lost item that may be of significant value, I had my phone as well as a full wallet stolen from me, thousands worth of stuff taken from me without my control and I would have done anything to get it all back so this is an amazing invention imo even if it seems creepy at firdt

[@mp4Junkie]

Tile and other company’s have had this tech for years

[@untermench3502]

If you find one that doesn't belong to you, go to the nearest truck stop and toss in on a truck with out of state tags.

[@blackleague212]

Congratulations. I NEVER NEVER PRESS any extra buttons while watching a video, but your request was smooth ... Smooth ... Good. I liked your video

[@Truthseeker07111]

So I’m torn, I want to use these for shipping items. So they would be away from me for a number of days while in transit which it sounds like they may annoy the FedEx or UPS staff with the ringing since they won’t be in my possession while in transit… any thoughts?

[@itquankazi]

even if android user dont get the notification, they still can hear the sound after a while so there's no problem

[@Whowhatwherewhy]

You can also use AirTag to ping and locate your misplaced iPhone. So I’ve heard. So long as you have 1 you can find the other. Ordered a tag, picking it up next Friday.

[@nbb106]

Awe man. I ordered one too but my location doesn’t support in store pickup. I think I might cancel it and wait for it to release physically.

[@adamjaks]

The editing is on point man, great work. Keep it up! Love from Czechia!

[@TheLonelySoulja]

I’ve been waiting for these for years now

[@feederx08]

Someone will probably reverse engineer them and start stealing stuff.

[@dieguito0512]

kids who are addicted to their phone and their moms hide their phones with an air tag, they ask for their moms phone and ping the airtag to grab their phone

[@keanupanu]

@@dieguito0512 u can also ping the phone

[@TechOutAdam]

“Android not supported” of course baby. Apple Juice is everything. This was very informative.

[@uzenicukadakrenemja]

Great video, thank you. Only one thing that I don't understand is the beeping sound alerting someone that a device is near by, supposed antystalking. Wouldn't this be counter productive for the main purpose of the Airtag, and for me the main purpose would be to place it on an item and if it's stolen to find out the location of the stolen item. An alarm ringing would alert the thief that there is an air tag, and they would remove it. Or did I miss something?

[@Babushka-nx4du]

Obviously you’re not going to have it play the alarm sound if you’re not close to it. Like if you have a tag on your keys and you can see on the map the keys are in your house and you are also in your house then play the sound so you can find them. The sound is useful if you’re already in close proximity to the tag.

[@Cudder959]

@@Babushka-nx4du you missed the part of the video where the sound plays either way when the owner of the AirTag has been away from it for a certain time

[@denniskoumoullos9842]

this video is great all i wanted to know was if it doesnt ever die and thats the first thing u said thanks man

[@lufthansabird0014]

[@ty_rekeee]

I ordered them for my next unboxing video!

[@tammyray0707]

We rent out our RV. We have been considering putting some sort of tracking device on the RV, just in case.... I wonder if this would work???

[@hs7921]

Is it only iPhone 11 and 12 that can help in locating a tag left or lost at some distance, like a shopping centre? Or will a 6 and 7 do that also?

[@btd6vids]

The iphone 11 and 12 only adds the green arrow thing, the location on the map can be seen from the find my iphone screen, whether on your phone or even in a web browser on your computer or someone else’s phone, after logging in. Honestly the green arrow thing seems like more of an accessibility feature for deaf people because otherwise it’s easier to just play the sound than to play Marco Polo with your keys
