Apple is best known for its iPhones, Macs and, of course, Ted Lasso. But now it also makes a tiny tracker called an AirTag. (Here's how and when to preorder AirTags.) You attach it to an object like your keys and you can keep track of where it is using Apple's Find My network.
This kind of tracker isn't new. But the biggest selling point for the AirTag is Apple's Find My network, which is made up of hundreds of millions of Apple devices. Last week, the Find My network was opened up to third parties that can use the network for items like bikes and headphones. This will only increase that number of devices on Find My and make it even more robust. And that's important, because let's say you lost your keys and they had an AirTag attached. As soon as someone with another device on the Find My network, like an iPhone, crosses its path, the AirTag will communicate securely with the iPhone in the background to update the location of your lost keys. AirTags is basically a frame that showcases the strength and reach of Apple's Find My network.
