Apple to your own Airtagu He put so much thought into it that it was impossible to include them all in the presentation itself. But gradually, various interesting information about what this accessory will and will not be able to do is surface. Here are 10 things you should know about AirTag. 

Battery for a mouthful 

Original rumors that they will AirTags no matter how you charge it (including wirelessly), they took it for granted. To power them, a standard CR2032 coin-cell battery worth approx. 60 CZK is sufficient. That would in normal use, which Apple characterized as sound playback 4 times a day and one exact search, it should have lasted for a whole year. In addition, you can change it yourself at home.

Waterproof yes, waterproof no 

Apple notes that AirTags they have IP67 water resistance, which means they are resistant to splashes, dust and can survive up to 30 minutes at a depth of one meter. But they are not waterproof, so if something that he is wearing AirTags hooked, you drown, you just can't find it again.

After three days, he will call 

AirTags have built-in privacy features that also help in finding an object. If it is stolen from its owner AirA tag separated for more than three days will automatically start making sounds during its transmission.

Identification by anyone 

As mentioned above, it makes sounds primarily to draw attention to its presence. The finder can scan it and find out who it belongs to. And he doesn't even have to have iPhone, any phone with technology is enough for him NFC.

Deactivation 

You can find it in the application Airtagu disable security alerts if you don't want to be notified of the tracker's location. Usually this happens for one day, the next day you have to deactivate this option again, if you still do not require receiving notifications.

"Definitive" deactivation 

It may happen that someone gives you AirTags in your luggage so that he can track where you are moving. When you find it, you can permanently deactivate it through the Find application, without returning it to the owner (of course, in a different case than is stated here). What will happen with such a tag is not yet known.

It does not serve as protection against theft 

Apple does not sell AirTags as an anti-theft device, for the reasons that they are not really suitable for this purpose. Many expressed concern that it would be too easy for thieves AirTags disable, but even easier to remove the battery, or just unplug it and throw it away.

Safety 

Apple really tried to make sure no one could intercept the Bluetooth ID which AirTags broadcast, by randomizing them periodically. It's actually a lot more complicated than it sounds, because the Find network still has to have a way to keep track of these changing IDs, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see your AirCan't find the tags at all. 

They work with function VoiceOver 

The Find app will be able to direct the blind to the object they are looking for. It will verbally tell them not only the direction they should go, but also the distance. Of course, it uses an iPhone with a U1 chip (iPhone 11 and later).

It does not serve as a non-japanese joke 

Even if you Apple upon purchase Airtagu offers the possibility of engraving it, forget about the funniest jokes you might want to depict on it. A combination of four letters or three emoticons will have to be maximal correct. Too bad, we can think of several fairly apt names.
