Loosing your wallet is no longer a time waster. Find it by going to the "My app" and say, "Siri, find my wallet." If hiding in the next room or in plain sight, you would follow a ping sound that leads you to your wallet.
If your item is further away the AirTag sends out a secure Bluetooth signal through an anonymous and encrypted process to locate and send its location to the iCloud. On your phone, you'll see its location on a map.
You could also attach an Apple Airtag on your dog's or cat's collar to put them on your radar if they are in the habit of getting loose and lost outdoors.In a once upon a time safe-family neighborhood, a thief stole my mother's front pouch chairs and later her folded-up grocery cart that she used to balance and steady her walk. The chairs had sat untouched on her front pouch for 60 years, and the grocery cart was rusting, so some people will take anything! Wouldn't we like to show up with a police officer at the thief's house to surprise them!
Friends of mine tend to lose their cars in a supermarket parking lot. Now they can pin it to find it!

On Amazon, Apple Air tags are about $4 cheaper than a purchase at Apple. The devices are not super expensive, yet pricey enough to make attaching them to all your worldly goods impractical. So you'd likely put them on the things you lose the most.

For airline luggage, I avoid checking it- especially where there are connecting flights. Back in the day, I had a bag - which had some nice clothing, that got lost for a day as I had to change planes in Chicago. Happily, biz folks I was meeting with were into casual dress codes way before the wave so I was one of the cool guys- sans suit and tie
ReplyDeleteGlad you got your bag back too!
