How Apple AirTags work – This is how the Bluetooth tracker works!
The Apple AirTag is a simple Bluetooth tracker that Apple released in 2020. The technology and the way it works are not new. On the contrary. There are many Bluetooth tracker providers like Apple’s AirTags, for example Tile or Chipolo, that promote the precision finding of objects.
In all cases, the tags are simple Bluetooth chips that continuously emit a signal to their environment that says “Here I am”. If an iPhone with activated Bluetooth is nearby, the location of Apple’s AirTags is displayed in Apple’s “Find My” app. If a smartphone with the Tile or Chipolo app is nearby (with Bluetooth activated), the location of the Tile or Chipolo tag is displayed there.
