Leaker shares final Apple 'AirTags' design in leaked pairing animation video

One side has to be flat to mount the tag to a surface.I hope there is more to the AirTag than simply being a Tile competitor. There are now Bluetooth tags that have built in GPS receivers and talk to each other in a mesh network....
..... to send their locations and that's not being used by ground vehicles at airport, but these aren't small, inexpensive, or using BT.

'AirTags' appear to include privacy features to stop unwanted tracking
“I wonder if they will include some sort of time-out feature. If the Air Tag doesn’t sync up with the owner’s phone after a while, maybe it stops transmitting real time information?This is to help you find your own items (keys, wallet, iPad...) and you are not likely to need to track them for days. I can even imagine you could disable the time-out feature if you report your device missing or stolen...”Our interest is keeping subsequent appointments during the day apprised of arrival times, and locating medical equipment that might be lost/left behind.Dream preliminary discussions with staff, they felt that was a better plan than sharing their iPhone location. -
