It comes in a compact circular design language and lightweight. AirTag features precision-etched polished stainless steel, and is IP67 water- and dust-resistant. It also houses a built-in speaker to play sounds to help locate AirTag, while a removable cover makes it easy for users to replace the battery.

If it is far, users can locate it with map-based location tracking via the Find My app.
The AirTag can be bought for Rs 3,190 a piece or else get a pack of four for Rs 10,900.
