Apple finally revealed that it is launching its AirTag tracking fobs on April 30. The device utilizes the company’s expanded and improved Find My network to locate attached items with nearly pinpoint precision. However, the trackers have more versatility than Apple initially announced. In an interview with Fast Company, Apple’s Vice President of Worldwide iPhone Product Marketing Kaiann Drance and Senior Director of Sensing and Connectivity Ron Huang explained features of AirTags that make them more secure and prevent unwanted spying. They also revealed that the fobs are compatible with non-Apple devices, like Android phones. « When it came to designing our own product, we thought carefully about how to get this right in a way that no one else in the industry’s ever done before, » said Drance. « You’ll see that we designed for the privacy of AirTag owners and nonowners, as well as making these benefits opened up to third-party products as well. » One key feature of AirTag is called « Pairing Lock.
