Some were sharing what Apple¡¯s competitors might be feeling, based on the AirTags reveal, or people who¡¯ve already bought a similar device from a competing brand might be feeling right now.

In case you thought Apple was the first one to think of something like the AirTag device, you¡¯re wrong. There have been such Bluetooth-enabled item trackers from brands like Tile, and even Samsung.

There were also people who were mocking Apple for creating yet another overpriced piece of technology that only a few will be able to afford.

And some even pointed out that an accessory to a device is more expensive than the device itself.

Powered by a special U1 chip that uses Ultra-Wideband technology, this helps it to communicate with the iPhone (through its trusty FindMy app) to accurately figure out the distance and direction to a lost AirTag when it is in range.

To help enhance the accuracy of finding the lost AirTag, it uses a feature called Precision Finding that combines input from the camera, ARKit, accelerometer and gyroscope, to help navigate to an AirTag with a combination of sound, haptics, and visual feedback.

In case the AirTag is farther away from the phone, it will help you locate using Apple¡¯s FindMy app using GPS.

AirTags have a user-replaceable coin cell battery that Apple says should last for about a year. There¡¯s a little tutorial on iOS teaching you how to perform the delicate operation. pic.twitter.com/g0g61MCnSB

The AirTags are powered by commonly available CR2032 batteries that are user-replaceable too, which is definitely a surprising move, considering its Apple.
