AirTags 是微小的按钮形状的跟踪设备(tracking devices)，其工作方式与Tile跟踪器非常相似。然而，Apple提供了一项名为(Apple)Precision Finding的独特功能，从而在竞争中脱颖而出。您可以使用它来查找在您的房子、工作区或附近任何其他地方丢失的物品。
你们中的一些已经拥有AirTags的人可能不知道这个特殊功能，因为这些是尚未获得主流采用的新产品。在您兴奋地尝试此功能之前，我们想指出，Precision Finding并非适用于您能想到的所有 iPhone。所以，让我们先来看看你需要什么。
使用AirTags Precision Finding需要什么？
不幸的是，Apple将(Apple)AirTags Precision Finding限制在配备Apple U1芯片的 iPhone 上。这是一种专有芯片，可实现空间感知的超宽带技术。尽管AirTags封装了Apple U1，但您需要具有相同芯片的 iPhone 才能识别其周围环境和其他支持 U1 的设备。因此，您需要以下模型之一：
- iPhone 13 专业版、专业版 Max
- iPhone 13、13 迷你
- iPhone 12 专业版、专业版 Max
- iPhone 12、12 迷你
- iPhone 11 专业版、专业版 Max
- iPhone 11
在您问之前，目前可用的 iPad(the iPads available right now)都没有Apple U1芯片来使用Precision Finding。
拥有兼容的设备只是使用Precision Finding的要求之一。除此之外，您还需要靠近丢失的AirTag。根据我们的测试，只要您在大约 10 米或 33 英尺的蓝牙范围内， (Bluetooth)Precision Finding的效果最佳。(Precision Finding)当您走出该区域时，您将无法访问精确查找(Precision Finding)模式。
如何使用精确查找(Precision Finding)来定位附近的 AirTag(Nearby AirTag)
您可以从iPhone 上的内置Find My 应用程序(Find My app)进入精确查找模式。(Precision Finding)此过程类似于为丢失的 iPhone、AirPods或任何其他Apple设备（如果您熟悉该应用程序）查找路线。让我们来看看你需要做什么。
- 在 iPhone 上打开“查找”应用。(Find My)启动后，您将看到除AirTags之外的所有(AirTags)Apple设备。要查看它们，请从底部菜单中选择项目。(Items)
- 在这里，选择您的AirTag以访问它的“查找我(Find My)的”选项。
- 现在，点击查找(Find)。如果您在兼容的 iPhone 上没有看到此选项，则很可能您不在要求的范围内。
- 您将看到一个全绿色屏幕，确认您已进入精确查找(Precision Finding)模式。您在此处看到的箭头指向您丢失的AirTag的位置。沿着这个方向慢慢(Slowly)走，靠近左下角指示的距离。
- 当您真正靠近AirTag时，箭头会消失，您的 iPhone 将开始以触觉反馈进行响应。当您靠近它时，振动会变得更强。
当您成功找到您的AirTag时，您会看到一个动画，以确认您已使用Precision Finding找到它。
如何在不精确查找的情况下定位附近的 AirTag(Nearby AirTag Without Precision Finding)
没有配备 U1 芯片的 iPhone？没问题。幸运(Lucky)的是，Precision Finding并不是找到附近AirTag的唯一方法。借助内置扬声器，您可以在AirTag上播放声音并轻松找到它。请遵循以下简单说明：
- 启动Find My并从底部菜单转到Items 。
- 现在，从此处显示的项目列表中选择您的AirTag 。
- 现在，点击播放声音(Play Sound)并仔细聆听微弱的砰砰声。
在这一点上，你知道该怎么做。只要按照声音的方向。值得指出的是，AirTags的声音非常微弱，如果没有完全静音，您甚至可能在隔壁房间都听不到。
(Find Misplaced Items)通过精确(Precision)查找找到错放的物品
我们经常把家里的物品放错地方，找不到它们，比如钥匙。只需向它们添加AirTag(AirTag) ，您就可以快速找到通常丢失的东西。借助Find My和(Find My)Precision Finding等出色功能，这非常方便。

How to Use Precision Finding to Locate a Nearby AirTag
AirTags are tiny button-shaped tracking devices that work in a very similar way to Tile trackers. However, Apple manages to stand out from its competition by providing a unique feature called Precision Finding. You can use it to find items that went missing in your house, workspace, or anywhere else nearby.
Some of you who already own AirTags may not be aware of this particular feature since these are new products that haven’t gained mainstream adoption yet. Before you get excited to try this feature, we’d like to point out that Precision Finding doesn’t work on every iPhone you can think of. So, let’s first take a look at what you’ll need.
What Is Required to Use AirTags Precision Finding?
Unfortunately, Apple limits AirTags Precision Finding to iPhones with the Apple U1 chip. This is a proprietary chip that enables ultra-wideband technology for spatial awareness. Although the AirTags pack the Apple U1, you need an iPhone with the same chip for the iPhone to recognize its surroundings and other U1-enabled devices. Therefore, you’ll require one of the following models:
- iPhone 13 Pro, Pro Max
- iPhone 13, 13 Mini
- iPhone 12 Pro, Pro Max
- iPhone 12, 12 Mini
- iPhone 11 Pro, Pro Max
- iPhone 11
Before you ask, none of the iPads available right now have the Apple U1 chip to use Precision Finding.
Having a compatible device is just one of the requirements to use Precision Finding. Apart from this, you’ll need to be close to the missing AirTag. From our testing, Precision Finding works best as long as you’re within Bluetooth range, which is roughly about 10 meters or 33 feet. The moment you step outside this zone, you will have trouble accessing the Precision Finding mode.
How to Use Precision Finding to Locate a Nearby AirTag
You can enter the Precision Finding mode from the built-in Find My app on your iPhone. This procedure is similar to finding directions for a missing iPhone, AirPods, or any other Apple device if you’re familiar with the app. Let’s take a look at what you need to do.
- Open the Find My app on your iPhone. Upon launch, you’ll see all your Apple devices except the AirTags. To view them, select Items from the bottom menu.
- Here, choose your AirTag to access the Find My options for it.
- Now, tap Find. If you don’t see this option on your compatible iPhone, chances are, you’re not within the required range.
- You’ll see an all-green screen that confirms you’ve entered the Precision Finding mode. The arrow you see here points towards the location of your missing AirTag. Slowly walk in this direction and close the distance indicated at the bottom-left.
- When you get really close to the AirTag, the arrow will disappear, and your iPhone will start responding with haptic feedback. The vibrations will get stronger as you inch closer to it.
When you successfully find your AirTag, you’ll see an animation to confirm that you’ve found it using Precision Finding.
How to Locate a Nearby AirTag Without Precision Finding
Don’t have an iPhone with the U1 chip? No problem. Lucky for you, Precision Finding isn’t the only way to find a nearby AirTag. Thanks to the built-in speakers, you can play a sound on your AirTag and find it easily. Follow these simple instructions:
- Launch Find My and head over to Items from the bottom menu.
- Now, select your AirTag from the list of items that show up here.
- Now, tap Play Sound and listen carefully for a faint pinging sound.
At this point, you know what to do. Just follow the direction of the sound. It’s worth pointing out that the sound from the AirTags is so feeble that you may not even hear it from the next room without complete silence.
Find Misplaced Items With Precision Finding
We often misplace items in our house and have trouble finding them, like keys, for example. You can quickly find things you usually lose by simply adding an AirTag to them. With Find My and standout features like Precision Finding, this can be pretty convenient.
