If you're an iPhone owner, the original AirTag still delivers a level of precision few trackers can match, thanks to its ultra wideband (UWB) chip and access to Apple's expansive Find My network. Whereas most Bluetooth trackers just tell you the general whereabouts of a misplaced item, the AirTag actually guides you directly to it with on-screen arrows and distance estimates.

Google is rolling out an Android update that includes the ability to share the location of your missing luggage with an airline. It's similar to the luggage-tracking feature Apple brought to the iPhone, allowing you to view the location of your Find Hub tag or accessory on a map, and provide your airline with a link to the information they need to track it down.

Body agency is a power returned after an incident took it away from the user's physical form, and some wearable devices and technologies have this exact goal in mind.

The U400 one-ups just about every other smart lock available today by using your iPhone or Apple Watch's ultra wideband (UWB) signal for hands-free smart lock unlocking, a new Home Key feature Apple announced in 2024 that's coming to smart locks at long last.

On one end of the tracker you'll find an integrated metal loop that can be attached to a keyring or clipped to a carabiner without the need for an extra case. The Xiaomi Tag is compatible with both Apple's Find My and Google's Find Hub tracking networks and mobile apps, but not at the same time.

Covert recording is a lot about power. So, I was worried from the very beginning when Meta announced they were going to revive the Google Glass idea. That might be influenced by my study subject very well, but it might as well be influenced by every report and story I read on digital abuse and hate speech in the last twenty to thirty years.

The new feature, called Digital Home Key, will live inside Samsung Wallet and is powered by the Aliro smart home standard. The new standard uses near-field communication (NFC) for its tap-to-unlock technology. It also supports ultra-wideband (UWB), giving users the ability to unlock their door as they approach and without pulling out their phone.

As a company and brand, Apple has placed a great deal of emphasis on privacy over the years-both in its product design and in its advertising. Protecting user data is a major talking point and has driven ads like 2025's "Flock" campaign, in which bird-like cameras fly around tracking people in a dystopian setting. The crux of Apple's pitch is simple: The company says it doesn't sell data to third-party distributors and it doesn't share your data for marketing purposes.

Got any big travel plans for 2026? I know when I'm traveling, I become weirdly anxious about all my stuff, afraid I might leave something behind somewhere in a hotel room or backseat of an Uber. That's why it can be a good idea to slip some Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 Bluetooth trackers into your bags. Right now, Amazon has the trackers 36% off. Normally, priced at $30, they've now each dropped by $10 to just $20 per tag.

Last month, a report claimed the Xiaomi Tag was in development, basically intended to be the Chinese company's version of Apple's AirTag and Motorola's Moto Tag.

Unfortunately, the new challenger is a wearable AI pin with cameras, mics and... zero interest from me. According to a report from The Information, it'll resemble a slightly thicker AirTag with an aluminum and glass exterior. The report suggests it'll have two cameras (standard and wide-angle) for photos and video. It may also have three microphones and a (swoon) physical button. I love a physical button.

The Loop works with Apple Find My and Google Find Hub Device networks, so it's compatible with hundreds of millions of smartphones out there, allowing you to find your lost items no matter where you are (which is handy when you leave your keys in a random riad in Marrakech... speaking from experience). So, how does the Loop differ from an AirTag? First, the battery is rechargeable, and when it needs topping up -- every six months or so -- you can use any handy USB-C cable.

I'm blown away that I can write data to a little chip and then access that using a phone or tablet. I've embedded NFC tags into all sorts of things, from documents to business cards to 3D-printed objects. And it's easy! What you'll need You need two things: NFC tags: These come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, from to to .

Right now you can pick up a of Apple's diminutive first-generation Bluetooth trackers for $64, which translates to 35 percent off and a near record low price. Bear in mind that this deal brings the price per down to about $16 if you were to buy them individually, and when not on sale they usually cost $29. The single first-gen AirTags are also on right now, and you can pick one up for 41 percent off at $17.
