AirTags

If there was one product we were really expecting to see unveiled yesterday, it was Apple’s AirTags. After all, not only are these one of those products we’ve been hearing about for well over a year now — code for them was first found in the original iOS 13 betas back in June 2019 — but there are reports they’re already in mass production.

Of course, Apple could simply be saving the AirTags announcement to go along with the iPhone 12 debut next month, or it could even push them into a later event. Despite the rumours, Apple may not have them ready to ship yet, or it may simply feel that they’re a better fit for the iPhone launch, since they’ll likely take more advantage of the U1 chip’s location tracking and augmented reality features of the iPhone. After all, even though the Apple Watch Series 6 gained the U1 chip too, it’s hard to really show off what AirTags can do on an Apple Watch.
