Dropped tracker 'AirTag' haste photo review that can accurately track the position even if you lose your Apple wallet or bag



Apple's genuine drop-off

tracker 'AirTag' announced on April 21, 2021 was released on April 30, 2021. The GIGAZINE editorial department also got an AirTag and a genuine strap ' AirTag loop ', so I took pictures with haste and checked what the small and lightweight drop tracker looks like.

AirTag --Apple (Japan)
https://www.apple.com/jp/airtag/

AirTag is sold in two ways, a single item (3800 yen including tax) and a set of 4 (12,800 yen including tax), and this time I got a set of 4.



The sticker on the package can be easily cut off by simply pulling it by hand.



Open the package and pull out the contents.



Inside was an inner box containing AirTag, an instruction manual, and a warranty card.



The inner box is folded in four.



When you open the inner box, it looks like this. How to use AirTag is written on both sides, and 4 AirTags are fitted in the center part.



The fitted AirTag can be easily removed by hand.



A protective film that doubles as an insulator is attached to the AirTag. When you remove the protective film, you will hear an electronic sound like 'Piro Piro ...'.



AirTag looks like this. 'AirTag', 'Designed by Apple in California', 'Assembled in China', 'Bluetooth LE', and 'Ultra Wideband' are written on the outer circumference.



The silver part in the center has a mirror finish.



The back side is pure white, but

it can be engraved for free .



It looks like this when placed side by side with a 500-yen coin to compare the sizes. The diameter is 31.9 mm.



Comparing the thickness from the side, it looks like this. The thickness of AirTag is 8.0mm.



Because it is small and lightweight, it fits comfortably in a coin case.



It weighs 11g. Same as the nominal value.



If you twist the mirror-finished central part, it will pop off and the button battery will appear. The button battery uses the easily available '

CR2032 '.



When the button battery was removed, the technical suitability mark and VCCI mark were marked on the bottom.



The package of the genuine strap 'AirTag Loop' looks like this. The AirTag loop is available in polyurethane and leather, but this time I got a polyurethane white.



Pull out the contents.



Inside was an AirTag loop and a warranty card.



The AirTag loop looks like this. There is a hole for the AirTag to fit in.



The back side is also a simple design. When you touch it, it has a matte texture.



With the AirTag loop, you can pinch and secure the AirTag in the circular hole. To actually install the AirTag, unbutton the AirTag loop ...



All you have to do is insert the AirTag. The button closes with a click, so you don't have to worry about the AirTag coming off even if you shake it vigorously.



When weighed in this state, it was 18g.



The AirTag loop is easy to install. Wrap the side where the AirTag is not fitted around, and pass the side where the AirTag is fitted through the hollowed out part ...



It can be attached to the handle of a bag like this.



AirTag is small and lightweight, so you can carry it around without any discomfort even if you attach it to a key chain.



You can get AirTag for 3800 yen including tax for 1 piece and 12,800 yen for 4 pieces. In addition, you can get the AirTag loop for 3800 yen including tax for polyurethane and 5500 yen for leather.
