Apple AirTag App Guide - Never lose anything in the couch again. Apple's AirTag leverages tight iOS integration and massive global network of iOS devices to create Bluetooth trackers that are easy to set up, use, and locate—especially compared to Tile, the current giant of the industry. If you have an iPhone or iPad, the AirTag is a neat and slick way to track your lost devices, and that makes it worthy of our Editors' Choice award for iOS tracking devices.

There is a good industry for tracking people, vehicles, and things. Samsung has the SmartTag and SmartTag + for owners of Samsung phones and tablets. For iPhone and iPad users, AirTag is really competing against one of the industry giants, Tile, which has built its entire brand on low-cost Bluetooth trackers that let you beep when your keys are lost.

(Quick note: AirTag is compatible with any iPhone or iPad running iOS or iPadOS 14.5 or later. We're referring to iPhones throughout this review for simplicity, but any updated iPad will work just as well to pair with and find AirTags.)

AirTags are easier to set up than boxes, have better direction finding capabilities, and can be found from far away. The boxes come in more form factors than AirTags do, and you can summon your phone from the box as well as vice versa. But their range is a maximum of 30 feet, and the range on AirTags is functionally unlimited as long as someone is nearby with an iPhone.

AirTag goes unnoticed when dropped in your jeans pocket. At 1.26 inches in diameter and 0.31 inches in thickness, it's slightly thicker than the Tile Mate or Tile Pro, and much thicker than the Tile Slim. It is much slimmer and smaller than the Samsung SmartTag. The difference between the AirTag and the Tile Slim is mostly apparent if you're trying to keep track of your wallet, because the AirTag will make it bloat more than the Tile Slim will. But the teeny-tiny tags easily disappear into a backpack, coat pocket, or travel bag, and they look great on one of Apple's keychain holders.

Apple says the AirTag's replaceable CR2032 battery will last about a year.

The signs are sturdy enough, though I wouldn't run over them with a car. It's IP67-rated and water-resistant for up to 30 minutes, so it can be dropped in a pool, but if your wallet sinks to the bottom of a creek, you'll need to act fast.

In classic Apple fashion, AirTags are nicer than the competition. It's shiny and smooth, and the personalized print is a nice touch. Keychain and strap accessories look like fashion items rather than technology items. The shiny sides of my AirTags didn't get scratched while I was using them, even though I shook them in a plastic bag with my keys for about 30 seconds. Your mileage may vary; I know some other reviewers say their tabs are scratched, so they might have sharper keys.
