Each AirTag is ultra compact and lightweight, complete with precision-etched polished stainless steel as well as IP67 water / dust resistance. There’s an integrated speaker that plays sounds to help locate AirTag, while a removable cover makes it easy for users to swap out the battery when necessary. To connect them, simply bring it close to an iPhone and it will automatically pair. Users can also give each AirTag a name, like “Keys” or “Suitcase”. It’s powered by a U1 chip using Ultra Wideband technology, which allows for Precision Finding for iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 users.
