AirTags employ ultra-wideband technology and leverage Apple's existing network of devices to ping each other in order to pinpoint the position of your misplaced item. So, Airtags do not use GPS to find goods. Apple's Find My Network uses Bluetooth signals to locate and identify your possessions. In a word, it works like a radar chip, signaling and detecting other chips of the same type.
The AirTag has a tiny circular design on the front with a white finish and a stainless steel rear. AirTags are free to be personalized with up to four characters or emojis (depending on your preferences, you can choose from up to 31 emoji).
