Use Find My to track stuff and find lost items
AirTag

APPLE has expanded the Find My ecosystem with AirTag, a small (1.26– inch diameter, 0.39–ounce) disc you can locate with the Find My app or Siri, or it can play a sound to help you find it. AirTag is made of stainless steel and is IP67 water– and dust–resistant. You can pop it in a bag or backpack, or attach it to items using various holders. It costs $29, or $99 for four, with free engraving if you buy direct.

As with AirPods, setup is instant. AirTag emits an encrypted BlueTooth signal detectable by devices in the Find My network. You (and only you) can then see it on the map in the Find My app. Lost an item? Put its AirTag in Lost Mode to get notified when it’s detected — plus, its finder can tap it with an iPhone or any NFC–capable device to go to a website to see any contact info you provide.
