Apple AirTag lets you keep a track of your valuables starting at Rs 3,190

Apple AirTag has been officially unveiled as the latest accessory that lets you keep a track of your valuables, right from your iPhone. The AirTag is a tracking device that can be hooked to keys, backpack, wallet, handbags and other such important objects that are used in day-to-day life. The AirTag works in tandem with the Find My app which makes it easier for users to locate these objects when misplaced or lost. 

Announcing the AirTag, Kaiann Drance, Apple’s VP 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.”

The Apple AirTag has a polished stainless steel build and is IP67 rated making it resistant to dust and water. The cover of the AirTag is removable to replace the coin battery that powers it. Apple claims that the CR2032 coin battery can last for a year after which it has to be replaced. Additionally, users can customize the AirTag at the time of purchase with an engraving of their liking. Apple will let users personalize their AirTag with an emoji, text or number. 

Apple AirTag uses the Find My network to view the last location of the tracker and if it is in the Bluetooth range, the Find My app will allow users to play a sound from the built-in speaker for easily locating it. The AirTag is also equipped with the U1 chip with Ultra-Wideband technology that enables Precision Finding for users of the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 series. This lets users locate the AirTag with much more precision as the U1 chip provides direction and distance using the camera, accelerometer and gyroscope. 

If the AirTag is out of the Bluetooth range, Apple’s Find My Network can detect Bluetooth signal from the misplaced AirTag and alerts the users of its location. Furthermore, the AirTag does not store location data and only the owner of the device has access to that data as part of Apple’s privacy efforts. 

Apple has also announced some accessories to go along with the AirTag that includes a leather loop, leather keyring and polyurethane loop that can all be used to attach it to valuable items. 

Apple AirTag is priced at Rs 3,190 for a single pack and Rs 10,900 for a four-pack. The AirTag will be available for pre-orders starting April 23 in India. The AirTag loop is priced at Rs 2,990, the leather key ring is priced at Rs 3,590 and the leather loop is priced at Rs 3,990.

— Call of Duty: Mobile (@PlayCODMobile) April 17, 2021 Call of Duty Mobile Season 3 update: New maps

The Season 3 of COD Mobile brings two new maps, Oasis and Coastal to the multiplayer mode. The Oasis map is available right now while the Coastal map will be added later in April to the multiplayer map catalogue. 

Oasis is a close-to-mid-range combat map that is filled with narrow corridors, fountains and more. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 fans will be familiar with Oasis. The map has a desert theme going for itself and is also hosting a Desert Sanctuary event for players to collect some rewards. Players will be able to jump right into Oasis from the featured tab in the multiplayer mode titled Oasis 24/7 Playlist.

Later in April, Call of Duty Mobile will receive the Coastal map which is an ocean-side idyllic village setting. This map is pretty big than Oasis and has festival decor with ample scenic views of the sea. The developers have also revealed that Coastal was built with Search and Destroy mode in mind which encourages tactical based gameplay with your teammates including modes like Domination, Hardpoint and Headquarters.

Call of Duty Mobile Season 3 update: New weapons

 A lot of you guessed it right and yes it's coming!  Both the PP19 Bizon & the Renetti are coming to #CODMobile as a part of the new season!  Season 3: Tokyo Escape is launching on 4/16 at 5PM PT! pic.twitter.com/gynxj86k21

— Call of Duty: Mobile (@PlayCODMobile) April 14, 2021

The new Season 3 update also brings in two new weapons to COD Mobile, the PP19 Bizon and the Renetti. The PP19 Bizon is an SMG that is available at Battle Pass Tier 21 and has a fast fire rate, low recoil and reloads quickly. It is recommended for use in close-quarter combats. It has a damage rate of 38, fire rate of 80 with an accuracy of 60. 

Meanwhile, the Renetti is a fast-firing pistol with high recoil and will be added to the game in future updates. The pistol can be paired with primary weapons that have a slow fire rate such as snipers and more.

Call of Duty Mobile Season 3 update: New Operator Skills and Perks

No guns, no knives, no nades... Just pure FORCE! Rush down your enemies while staying protected with the new Operator Skill, Bull Charge. Coming to #CODMobile in Season 3 as a part of the new Battle Pass! pic.twitter.com/BCFTdqGtdB

— Call of Duty: Mobile (@PlayCODMobile) April 16, 2021

The developers have also added a new operator skill and a perk that will be released at a later date. The new operator skill is the Bull Charge which will be available at Battle Pass Tier 14. The Bull Charge is essentially a defence shield that players can use to plough through enemy players. Do note, however, the shield exposes the player on the side but also lets them use the pistol with the shield up.

Apart from this, the Season 3 update also brings in a new Battle Royale Class called Spotter. The Spotter class offers both offensive and defensive capabilities to players, in that, players can call in cluster strikers, show nearby enemies and increases rocket launcher reload speed as well. This Battle Royale class will be available through a featured event later in the season.

Call of Duty Mobile Season 3 update: New modes

The Season 3 update also brings in two updated modes: Sword and Stones and Night Mode version 2. While the latter is an upgrade to the original Night Mode which debuted in Season 11 last year, version 2 adds a battery for the night vision goggles. With this, players will not be able to keep the night vision enabled for the entirety of the match and the developers think it should allow for some new tactics and gameplay mechanisms.

As for the Swords and Stones mode, it is an extension of the Sticks and Stones mode and brings a sword Hachi as the default melee weapon. Eliminating enemies with Hachi will provide a rage buff that increases the movement of players and attacking speed as well. Additionally, the mode will have airdrops that will offer the Shadow Blade operator skill in matches. 

Night Mode v2 will be enabled sometime later in April while the Swords and Stone mode will arrive in early May.
