The video, briefly published on Thursday, explicitly showed the “AirTags” name in an Apple menu. The product’s name was listed under the “Enable Offline Finding” section of a video describing how to erase an iPhone.
Specifically, the image proves that the accessory can be “found when not connected to Wi-Fi or cellular.” This has been predicted for some time, and leverages the UWB technology found in the iPhone, and obviously in the AirTags, to locate the lost device.
Apple’s video was pulled by the company itself after about 15 minutes of availability, and less than 1500 views.
