    Lost mode NFC message doesn't work?

    Hello, After trying to test this feature, I couldn't get it to work. I put it in lost mode, entered in the information, and moved my phone out of range.

    Why does my iPhone need light to find my AirTag?

    When locating an AirTag you can see a blurred camera view in the background. It doesn’t appear that you can find using an AR style feature so why would it say “More light required”?

    AirTag without U1

    Can anybody tell me why reviewers don't mention this? How will the AirTags work with devices that don't have the U1 chip? How will the precision finding operate? Will those devices lack that feature completely? Could someone clarify this?

    AirTag - are they IATA approved

    Are Apple AirTags approved by IATA for airline travel, cabin baggage tracking and hold baggage tracking. Until recently airlines/airport security would not allow electronic baggage tags in the hold citing that batteries as not being allowed in hold baggage.
