Apple’s new AirTags can also be put into
Lost Mode, so if that beloved teddy bear or
wallet goes missing, the tag can store your
contact information. When another Apple
user finds the tag, their device will be able

insider Ming-Chi Kuo has suggested the new
product could launch in the first three

of a March Event where Apple can show off a
bunch of new hardware.
It’s impossible to predict where micro-location
technology will take us in the decades ahead,
but it’s clear that we’re moving towards a more
connected, integrated world, one where we
can be even more dependent on our devices
to get us from A to B, to experience new
things and places, and to improve the way we
communicate. Apple will no doubt be at the fore

create services that we want to embrace...
