Much is being rumored that Apple could launch the so-called by the leakers as Air Tag. This technology is already present in other products and is nothing more than a simple locator, although in this case it could be interconnected in a special way with Apple products ... what would be the point if not?
As you well know, the Cupertino company does not miss an opportunity to make cash, and The first accessories for the AirTag are already leaking, such as this fully compatible leather keychain. Taking into account the design of the product and the logic of the same, I would not rule out that the leak was totally true.
In this case, the leak has been by @choco_bit, a Twitter account of which we do not have too many references but that together with the photograph of the product has added what would be the scheme of the patent that the Cupertino company would have filed.
The product has all the logic. We essentially find a key ring with a polished steel ring, very similar to the one we would find in the iPhone 12 Pro range, accompanied by a leather accessory (Apple also has a good range of similar products) that will act as a "pocket" for the AirTag.
Potentially AirTag carrying accessory in Saddle Brown.
Looks a lot like this previously reported patent, but take it with a bit of salt though since something similar is easily reproducible in China. pic.twitter.com/HHRi2p4Cyu

The size of the pocket and the AirTag in question fits us if we take into account that the AirTag could carry a CR2032 battery inside, one of the most popular for this type of product and present for example in remote control controls for switches Philips Hue or Tradfri from IKEA.
Can you imagine being able to locate your keys through the Search application on your iPhone? The truth is that it seems like a fantastic idea to me. What we are clear about is that this has a price for Apple, and it is surely not cheap.
