The well-known leaker Jon Prosser must have been unable to sleep last night. Everything indicates that finally their dream AirTags will be presented this afternoon at the Apple event «spring-loaded»Which will begin at seven in the afternoon Spanish time.
After two years of rumors about the possible appearance on the market of small Apple locators called AirTags, all indications indicate that they will finally be presented this afternoon. The last track fresh from the oven, are these straps appeared today to be able to attach an AirTag to a bag or suitcase, as if it were a tag.
After more than two years of rumors, many believe that today is the day that Apple's AirTags, a kind of localized similar to the Tiles existing on the market, will be presented to those who follow this afternoon's keynote. Some photos of a new accessory for these AirTags have just been published.
This plugin looks like a luggage tag made of the same type of silicone as the Apple Watch straps we all know. The AirTag itself would be located within the circular area, and the long strap would serve to "tie" it to the handle of a suitcase or purse.
Straps for attaching an AirTag to the suitcase
With these straps you can tie an AirTag to the handle of a suitcase, for example.
These straps are understood to be made by third-party manufacturers and not official Apple vendors. A Bloomberg report last year said Apple was developing its own AirTags accessories, including a leather case and a keychain accessory.
AirTags are designed to accompany the user's valuable items, like a keychain. Works by Bluetooth and ultra-wideband and they will be visible in Apple's "Search" application. The AirTag transmits its unique ID over Bluetooth, which can be picked up by any nearby iOS device or Mac. Your location will appear in the Find app on any device owned by the AirTag.
That behavior mostly matches what other Bluetooth trackers offer. However, AirTags go further thanks to the inclusion of the Ultra-Wide band chip. The UWB chip will allow accurate positioning of a location indicator when within 20 meters of the unit location. In the code of the latest versions of iOS it has been seen that there will be an augmented reality experience in the application «Search«, Allowing a user to hold their iPhone and see an arrow pointing directly where the object is placed in augmented reality.
We hope that finally this afternoon the AirTags will be presented. I'm very curious to see how Apple can make such a device useful for locating a lost backpack, for example, and instead prevent it from being used for «to spy»The exact location of a person without their consent.
