Apple were expected to launch their AirTags location tracking devices before the end of quarter two, according to a recent report they will now launch in quarter three.
The news comes from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has revealed that Apple are likely to launch their new locations tracking tags in quarter three.
Production of the devices will apparently be ramped up in quarter two ahead of a Q3 launch, the devices can be used in a similar way to Tile devices to track a wide range of things.
What Are Apple AirTags?
Apple AirTags are small, circular devices designed to help users keep track of their belongings. These tags can be attached to items such as keys, wallets, bags, and even pets. Using the Find My app on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, users can easily locate their tagged items. The AirTags leverage Bluetooth technology and Apple’s extensive network of devices to provide precise location tracking.
One of the standout features of AirTags is their integration with Apple’s ecosystem. Unlike other tracking devices, AirTags benefit from the vast network of Apple devices worldwide. This means that even if an item is lost far from the owner’s location, the chances of it being found are significantly higher due to the sheer number of Apple devices that can detect the AirTag’s signal.
Comparison with Tile Devices
Tile devices have been the go-to solution for many people looking to keep track of their belongings. However, Apple AirTags are set to offer some distinct advantages. For instance, AirTags are expected to have a more seamless integration with iOS devices, providing a more user-friendly experience. Additionally, the precision finding feature, which uses Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology, will allow users to pinpoint the exact location of their items with greater accuracy.
Another advantage of AirTags is the privacy and security features that Apple is known for. The company has emphasized that the location data and history are encrypted and that only the owner of the AirTag can access this information. This ensures that users’ privacy is maintained while using the tracking device.
Upcoming Apple Devices
Apple has a number of new devices coming this year. We are expecting the iPhone SE 2 sometime in March or April, the new iPad Pro sometime in Q2, and also some new iMacs and more.
The iPhone SE 2, also rumored to be called the iPhone 9, is expected to be a more affordable option for consumers, featuring a design similar to the iPhone 8 but with updated internals. The new iPad Pro is anticipated to come with improved performance, possibly featuring the A14X chip and enhanced camera capabilities.
In addition to these, there are rumors of new iMacs that could feature a design overhaul and the latest processors. Apple is also expected to introduce other accessories and possibly new services as part of its expanding ecosystem.
As soon as we get some more information on exactly when Apple will be launching its new location tracking tags, we will let you guys know.
