The tiny devices were revealed today at Apple’s Spring Loaded event.
You can buy one or a few of the small “smart” discs as they’re not too expensive.
AirTag works with Apple’s Find My app, which already exists for finding your lost iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch.
The AirTags cost $29 or you can buy a pack of four for $99.

They will be available from April 30.
UK prices weren’t confirmed straight away.
Kaiann Drance, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPhone Product Marketing, said: “We’re excited to bring this incredible new capability to iPhone users with the introduction of AirTag, leveraging the vast Find My network, to help them keep track of and find the important items in their lives.
“With its design, unparalleled finding experience, and built-in privacy and security features, AirTag will provide customers with another way to leverage the power of the Apple ecosystem and enhance the versatility of iPhone.”
What is the Apple Spring Event 2021?
Apple regularly hosts special events in the spring.
It’s usually a chance to showcase products that aren’t the flagship iPhone.
This includes spin-off iPhones, iPads or accessories.
Apple confirmed the April 20 event last week, but didn’t say what would be announced.
