Apple AirTag is one of the controversial products from the company in the recent past, and the device has potential for misuse, and there have been several issues related to it. But, it is also a useful product as it gives a technology-enabled solution for those who frequently keep losing or misplacing things.
When the AirTag is attached to an item, like a luggage or keychain, then those items can be tracked easily by the user thorugh the Apple iPhone or any other Apple device that is connected to the account. Once the device is set up, then you just attach it to the item, and the company says that the battery last for over a year.
