Following the performance locator Apple AirTags, which happened last Tuesday on the first of this year Apple keynote, with the vice president Applu for marketing in an interview for Fast Company talked about what it actually is AirTags are what users should use them for and what they should definitely avoid. Some of the answers in the interview are really interesting.

Besides Kaianna Dr.ance, the vice president of iPhone product marketing, also participated in the interview with Ron Huang, whose official title is “senior director of sensing and connectivity.” First of all, the design came under scrutiny AirTags, whose goal, according to Dr.ancand "to create a simple yet unique design that is unparalleled in the accessory market." However, the design was not to be the main attraction AirTags. This was primarily intended to be the functionality of this accessory and the emphasis on protecting and preserving the privacy of people who AirThey use tags.

"The entire tracking process is encrypted at both ends of the communication, so no one except the owner of that particular AirA foreigner cannot tag AirLink a tag to something specific iPhonem, or rather the user. And this applies to each of the global network of iPhones within the Find app infrastructure, as well as Applu as such, which also does not have personal identifiers. The same applies to access to current or historical location. Bluetooth identifiers, which AirThe tag transmits to its surroundings several times a day, they are generated over and over again during the day according to a random key, so it is not possible to connect them to a specific person or iPhonem, as well as in connection with each other, which makes it impossible to track the movement of one locator.

Both representatives Applu also highlight more than a billion Apple devices that are spread around the world and act as a kind of monitoring network for the movement AirTags, thanks to which you can access data about the location and movement of the locator relatively easily.

Apple AirTags was introduced as a tool for tracking important items, such as keys, backpacks, bags, etc. Shortly after the introduction, however, users began to consider ideas on how AirTags can be used, for example, to monitor pets or children. In this regard, representatives Applu confirm that they were not used to monitor pets or children AirTags adapted. According to them, it is much more effective to use a watch when monitoring children Apple Watch (i.e. their GPS variantu), in the case of pets, the functionality is AirTags limited to public network reach Apple products within reach – i.e. when your dog or cat runs away into the forest, where it will not be within reach of anyone with iPhonewith an iPad in my pocket, AirTags are then practically useless.
