The concept image of Air Tags shows what Apple's tracker looks like

A new unofficial concept design gives us a unique view of what Apple's rumored AirTags could look like. And given that Apple's Spring 2021 event will be broadcast in March, the unveiling of AirTags would be opportune.

A concept video created by 4RMD suggests a small circular design with a mirrored frame and a giant Apple logo. The design imagines six different colors of Air Tags, including black, white, yellow, red, green, and blue. This design resembles the rumored iMac 2021 design.

Along with the concept image recently shared by 4RMD, the creators also included an estimated price of $49.99, with a possible launch date of April of this year. Other smart tags cost $29, some as much as $50. Apple has a reputation for being more expensive than its competitors; the $500 AirPods Max is a prime example.

Apple is trying to challenge Tile, the brand that developed one of the best key finders on the market. According to some reports, Apple's key finder is now in the "finished and ready" stage; in addition to Apple AirTags, Apple's spring event will also include iPad Pro (2021), AirPods Pro 2, AirPods 3, iPad 2021, Apple TV, iMac (2021), and other major releases are expected to take place.

However, Mark Gurman, one of Bloomberg's most reliable Apple reporters, disagrees. In a Twitter response, this tech reporter stated with conviction that the launch of Apple AirTags will not happen on a set date.

Nevertheless, John Prosser, a tech analyst who regularly provides leaked information on Apple with "78% accuracy," is confident that the AirTags will launch this month:

Prosser's prediction is consistent with the report of another trusted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo's January report claims that AirTags will be among Apple's 2021 product releases.

Apple AirTags are rumored to use the U1 Ultra Wideband sensor announced with the iPhone 11.

As opposed to standard Bluetooth connectivity, the U1 Ultra Wideband may offer much better range and improved accuracy compared to other flagship keyfinders on the market.

It is also envisioned that AirTags could work with the iPhone's built-in "Find My" app, which can locate friends and other Apple devices.

Josh Constine, principal and head of content at SignalFire, revealed details of how AirTags would work in a report last year; according to the code shown to Constine, an iPhone could be held up and placed in a room with It appears that it can scan the room for objects connected to AirTag. If so, it would provide audio and haptic feedback depending on the distance to the object it is looking for.

Compared to Samsung's SmartTags, which currently sells for $29.99, this is a different system; SmartTags, which only works with Galaxy smartphones, does not require an online connection and can find items within 130 yards via the Galaxy Find Network items within 130 yards via the Galaxy Find Network without requiring an online connection.
