A device used to track. The Apple AirTag is an electronic device for the purpose of tagging and tracking objects and possessions such as everything from your keys and wallet to your backpack or luggage. It is a type of Tracking device that uses ultra-wideband to communicate with other devices of capable technology.

Privacy Concerns: This device and ultra-wideband technology has very alarming privacy concerns. Anyone that owns an apple device, such as an iPhone, iPad, or iMac is vulnerable to having their cellular and data connection USED WITHOUT CONSENT by another person's Air Tag to transmit telemetry data in real time, at any time.

If you own an iPhone 11 or iPhone 12, both of which have a U1 chip, you’ll be able to use the AirTag’s Precision Finding feature. The so-called U1 chip is behind this new "force everyone to share their data connection" ultra-wideband technology. The iPhone leverages UWB (Ultra Wideband) to determine the distance and direction to the nearby airtag. It can even tap into anyone's iPhone camera, ARKit, accelerometer and gyroscope.
