New purple iPhone 12 and Apple AirTags trackers are out TODAY – where to buy

A FRESH round of Apple gadgets has just made its way into stores.

You can now buy the brand new purple iPhone 12, as well as the location-tracking AirTags accessories.

Apple launched the iPhone 12 last October, and it’s been a big hit.

Then at a special event on April 20, 2021, Apple revealed a new purple version of the phone.

It’s the exact same price as all other iPhone 12 models, so you don’t have to worry about paying extra.

And you can get the new colour on both the iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12.

The purple iPhone 12 supports speedy 5G internet, and comes in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB variants – starting at £699.

AirTags are small metal discs that you tack onto objects, and then locate them with an iPhone.

A single AirTag costs £29, or you can get a pack of four for £99.

It works using Apple’s global Find My ecosystem. It’s a network of over a billion devices, that can ping other devices nearby to help locate them.

That means if someone you don’t know walks near your lost iPhone with theirs, it can update the location on your Find My app.

AirTag taps into this network, and lets you uncover a lost set of keys, a misplaced handbag, or a dearly departed suitcase.

It will use Find My to locate the AirTag on a map, just like a lost iPhone.

And once you get near to the AirTag, you’ll get proper directions and a distance counter to direct you to its exact spot – with pinpoint precision.

All prices in this article were correct at the time of writing, but may have since changed. Always do your own research before making any purchase.
