Range Breakdown by Technology

1. Direct Bluetooth Range (30 – 40 Feet): For basic proximity ringing.
2. Precision Finding Range (15 – 30 Feet): Uses the U1 Ultra-Wideband chip on iPhone 11-15 to display directional arrows.
3. Global Find My Network (UNLIMITED RANGE): As long as an AirTag is within ~30 feet of anyone’s iPhone anywhere in the world, its GPS location updates on your map — even if your AirTag is thousands of miles away on a different continent.
