I wonder how it works considering Apple confirmed there wasn’t a U1 chip in the remote. Bluetooth alone? High frequency sound from the phone and/or TV maybe? Regardless, this missing feature cost me ~$40 for an AirTag and case to hold the airtag -____-
It is definitely just Bluetooth. Works exactly the same way it worked with AirPods before they added ultra wide band
“Works exactly the same way it worked with AirPods before they added ultra wide band”
So it works poorly. Im glad they added it, but it’s very unlikely to be helpful with just Bluetooth. I can never use it to find my AirPods.
It’s actually been working really well for me on the latest beta. Seems they’ve improved the system
