A year with Airtag

The object carrying the AirTag appears in the “ Search ” application, native to the iPhone, and tells you at all times where it is find said object and emit a sound, if you press this option, for you to find it. If you don't know where the object is, other people can locate it and send a notice to your mobile phone. Although Apple devices “sneak” this information about the location of an object, this information is encrypted and is absolutely private. Only the owner of the AirTag can see the position of the object on the map, no one else can.It is enough for another anonymous user to be close to him to relay his position in a secure and encrypted way.

Apple ensures that the battery (it's a battery) of each AirTag lasts one year. I still have it at 70% and I have had it since it went on the market. And what happens when it runs out? It is not a device that can be charged wirelessly, rather it has a watch battery inside. To change the battery of the Airtag it is only necessary to open it (by pressing it and turning the lid) and insert it. The specific battery model is the CR2032 , which is found in many supermarkets or on Amazon .

My use experience after a year with the AirTag:

I carry it on my key ring. I actually bought the Apple leather keyring, which cost more than the AirTag itself. The locator is really cheap, it's €35 and the key ring cost me around €40. Yes, I know, Apple and cheap don't go together but this time they did.

The truth is that I have used it about four times this year, it must be said, and one was because my daughter hid the keys from me and she made me ring it to hear it, because she was excited. The other times have been by necessity 2 and many others to demonstrate its operation, really. But come on, I would have found them the same without the AirTag Honestly, I don't find it necessary to buy said object. It may be useful on some occasions, but not for me. They are the worst used €35 ​​in my life.

If you don't have it, don't buy it. If you have it, as a decorative element it is not bad at all, it is beautiful. I know there are people who get a lot out of it and really use it, but I don't find any sense in it. Some people carry it in suitcases, backpacks, purses, etc., and they use it daily, I don't and I won't. I don't like. This is the worst Apple purchase I've ever made.

Which one is yours?.
