Since there have been so many leaks about Apple's Tile-like tracking pucks, we already have a good idea about their features, which involve helping you to keep track of your belongings. So what's most interesting in these patent applications is the other use cases Apple has been thinking about. One series of diagrams shows how the trackers could be stuck on your body and used to track your posture, or even control a character onscreen.
Beyond these alternative use cases, Apple's patent applications for a "Mounting base for a wirelessly locatable tag" and a "Fastener with a constrained retention ring" don't contain many surprises about the AirTags core functionality. The tags themselves are described as being small and easily attached to items like "keys, purses, or wallets, to help an owner find lost, misplaced, or stolen objects" and are likely to be waterproof and drop-proof. Here are a couple of diagrams from the patents showing how the tags could attach to accessories like a watch strap.
AirTags have been rumored for so long now that it seems like only a matter of time before they're announced. Reports indicate that they entered production last month, and a recent rumor suggests we could see an announcement soon.
