Apple has been rumoured to be working on something called ‘AirTags’ which is going to be a Tile like device, which are essentially tracking tags you can place on devices, like your car keys, handbag, maybe a bicycle or anything you want to track and it was initially rumoured to be launched alongside the iPhone 11 last September.

However, there hasn’t much discussion surrounding AirTags until today, when Apple blog Appleosophy managed to spot a small tidbit within a new Apple Support video, the video has now obviously been removed but the blog did get some screenshots from the video first. The screenshot, shown in our header image is the usual ‘Find My iPhone’ section in the Settings app on iOS, but underneath it explains that:

Offline finding enables this device and AirTags to be found when not connected to Wi-Fi or cellular.

AirTags are rumoured to use wideband technology, with the U1 chip found in the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro.
