Xiaomi might just be working on its own version of the Apple AirTag. The patent from the company was recently granted and had the title of “Method and Device for Finding Objects.”
The patent has the application number CN106877911B and was first applied back in 2017. This patent is regarding a method and device that is capable of finding items, as reported by ITHome. In other words, the product in question could be used to find lost items of the user. Meaning, it should be similar to or could actually be a smart tag from the Chinese tech giant. In recent times, certain smartphone makers have launched their own iterations of a smart tracker device, including the Cupertino based company, Apple.
For those unaware, Apple recently launched the AirTag, which is a smart tracking device, that helps users find lost objects or keep track of certain accessories. So, Xiaomi might also be working on a product that offers similar functionality but at a price tag that makes it more accessible to the broader audience. Although, this is just speculation at the moment, so take it with a pinch of salt. Unfortunately, this is still a patent and it is too early to tell if the smartphone maker is actually working on such a product or just covering all bases, so stay tuned for more updates.
