But in a much reduced form.
Apple yesterday presented BLE-beacons AirTag, which will help keep track of valuable things. It is quite logical that they are tailored to work in the Apple ecosystem, and for correct operation it is recommended to use a device with iOS 14.5, which will come out next week - right before the release of AirTag.
However, the official support pagethe beacon company notes that you can scan a device in Lost Mode using any iPhone or Android smartphone with an NFC module. It is enough to bring the phone to the AirTag, and a message will appear on the screen, which was left by the owner, indicating how to contact him.
It should be noted that not all functions will be available in Russia even in conjunction with the iPhone. For example, due to a conflict with the frequencies used in the country, U1 (Ultra-Wide Band from Apple) chips do not work yet, which allow devices to exchange data about other gadgets nearby without revealing personal information owners.
In other countries, this allows you to find AirTag, even if it is far from the smartphone, since active the gadgets of the Apple ecosystem create a network that significantly expands the search area - this is called the "Network Locator ". However, now Apple
is testing U1 in Russia, so the chips can be unlocked in the future.Read also🧐
