Apple’s fresh offering of products is now shipping worldwide but one of their cool, new toys isn’t actually, very new at all. AirTags are Apple’s latest attachable device designed to be placed on often misplaced items like wallets or backpacks. They seamlessly connect via Bluetooth to the ‘Find My’ app and voila! – your keys are never to be lost again. They’re small. They’re relatively inexpensive. They’re brilliant. But they’re not new.
