Apple has a new "Find My" app coming down the road, which is designed to help device owners find their lost pieces of technology. But the company is also reportedly working on a separate accessory, a "Tile-like" device that would make it easier to find any item, as long as the device is attached to whatever it is you're looking for. Like your car keys that have wiggled their way into the couch cushions.
Ahead of CES 2018, Tile today announced several new partnerships that will take advantage of the “Tile Platform” program which builds in their popular item-tracking Bluetooth technology that works like Apple's Find My AirPods feature.
One of the biggest downsides to Bluetooth trackers is that you have to attach an additional fob to your keychain. This makes your keys bulkier than ever. KeySmart Pro is a different kind of Bluetooth tracker, and one of the smartest pairing between two companies I've seen yet.
It wasn't that long ago the Tile released the revamped Tile Mate and Tile Slim, two distinctly different Bluetooth trackers meant for different purposes. One small and tiny, the other larger, but slim enough to slide into a wallet. Tile is at it again with an all new Pro series of the popular BLE locators.
Battery packs are a hot commodity these days because it seems like our mobile devices never want to last as long as we’d like them to. They bring us out of the dark ages, where we used to have to sit by a power outlet and wait for our handsets to charge, and are advantageous because they allow you to charge on the go, no matter how far away from civilization you might be.
On the other hand, people who are always on the go have a tendency of misplacing things, and sometimes that means losing their battery packs. That’s why Nomad came up with the PowerPack, a trackable battery pack you can keep tabs on with your mobile device, even when you’ve forgotten it somewhere or misplaced it.
