The widely used Apple accessory to compete with Tile's trackers may well have its official name: "AirTag."
This is the name found in a 9to5Mac folder in the latest version of iOS 13.2, released today at the time of writing. Apple hasn't announced yet, but since the file name and location have been included in the latest OS update, we can only guess the company will officially introduce its product soon.
The AirTag can supposedly be associated with an iPhone, just like AirPods, and allow owners to track their "AirTagged" item via the Find My Application app.
The folder contained placeholder resource images from other Apple products (AirPod, HomePod, etc.). Therefore, there is no AirTag preview yet. However, the "Battery Change" folder contains videos that suggest a feature or the ability to change the AirTag's battery, according to 9to5Mac.
Months of rumors about the tracker
The first clue to an Apple tracking device was found in an early beta version of iOS 13 in June, when iOS developer Steve Moser discovered a string of code called "Tag". Later versions of iOS 39 included the mention of an accessory that would help him. Your everyday objects "and" you will never lose them again. "
This code explained how Find My would work with Apple Tracker - as soon as the app detects that it has detached from an AirTag, the accessory will begin to beep, unless you are unsure. They have defined "safe places," such as at home or at work. expect to lose your AirTag connected devices.
This is also where allusions to "lost mode" have appeared, allowing you to ask other iPhones to ping the missing AirTag and find it. Finally, Find My introduced an augmented reality look that guided you to missing items by using an overlay on a live feed from your cameras.
To its credit, Tile has heard about upcoming competing Apple products, and its message is "Turn it on," said LaComparacion, head of experience at Tile. We will have to wait to see what predicted features of the code were included in the final product if Apple officially announces the AirTag trackers.
