Apple AirTag Unboxing and Quick Setup | Ceddy's Random

Apple AirTag Unboxing and Quick Setup | Ceddy's Random 

Hi Everyone! Ceddy here, and I am back again for another tech review. 

Hello 2025!

2025 is a good start for me; an unexpected blessing has come. And I am looking forward to more travels as well this year.

And the best part? I switched back to Apple. Yes, after a couple of months of using Android, I decided to switch back to Apple. Call me an Apple sheep, but I've been a loyal and avid user of Apple since my college days when I had my first iPhone 3GS.

So, what do I miss? Well, definitely everything! The seamless experience of moving photos or files regardless of the size of a file via airdrop is such a breeze. And the icloud and, of course, my photos!

I purchased an iPhone 16, not the pro or pro max, but just the 16. And I am completely satisfied and happy about it. But let's set aside the iPhone 16, as I am going to review it later. And I also purchased an Apple watch series 10, the 46 mm version. I have drafted a review of it, and it will be released sometime this month.

Let's set aside those two devices, and let's focus on the new member of the family. 

Hello, Apple AirTag!

It's on my bucket list to have one of these and finally I was able to purchase one, and I've been using it for a week now. I am traveling this year, and it's a good tracker to keep inside the luggage as well, but right now, I use it to clip on my keychain. I tend to misplace my keys, so this is helpful and beneficial for me as well since the chip of the airtag and the iPhone can communicate easily thanks to the ultra-wide band feature of the devices. 

Now, let's unbox the product..

As usual, Apple is minimalistic when it comes to the packaging, and I can say it is kinda giving off a kind of aesthetic vibe while unboxing it. No frills, no drama, just pure unboxing experience.

I purchased a separate leather key ring for the Apple AirTag as well. I chose the beige/brown kind of color to match the shade case of my iPhone 16. It's cute, and the AirTag fits snugly.

 

The back side of the packaging comes with some information on the product, serial code, model number and all. Do you even read all of them? I don't think so. However, I am including it so that if you're curious about the details behind it, then there you go. 

I was expecting an Apple sticker; sadly, there is none. Showing you the documentation inside where most of you won't even care what it is all about. But hey, they smell good. The scent of the packaging never fails to amaze me. It's the same packaging scent as the iPhones. 

Look! There it is. The Apple AirTag. The clever paper packaging folds into 3 ways, and when you unfold it, it displays two images of an iPhone screen and shows instructions on how to connect it through the find my app device and by just removing and peeling that plasticky tag so that the tag can activate. 

And there you go, Apple AirTag. Small but mighty!

Let me show you how to connect with the Apple Airtag. Connecting the Apple AirTag is so easy. Let me show you how I connected mine to my iPhone 16.

After removing the tag, my iPhone instantly detected the tag, and on on-screen instruction popped up after choosing the "connect" option shown on the screen above.

After connecting successfully, the agreement above explains that AirTag will link to your associated Apple ID. For privacy, I have to cover my details, but for your reference, you can see the above screenshot.

Note: I didn't take a screenshot of the part where I have to customize the name of my AirTag or edit and include any emoji as an indicator belonging to this Airtag. 

I labeled mine as Dave's Airtag and it will initiate a connection to the iPhone as shown above.

Once completed, Apple AirTag will display your current location, highlighting the feature of it, as shown above.

As I mentioned above, I customized the look of my AirTag, and as you can see. I labeled it as an emoji. 

So far, I am enjoying the tag after a week of using it. I am secure and worry-free when I lose my key as I can locate it easily with the find my app. 

Verdict:

So, should I recommend this Apple Product?

Well, it's a win-win decision for me. If you're a frequent traveller and want to make sure that you track your luggage or you're that person or like me who tends to misplace the keys or wallet. Then this is the best Apple accessory for you.

If you have extra cash to shell out for this product, then go for it. But it's not necessary to have this unless you really want to.

Thanks for reading my tech unboxing review. And I'll see you next time!
