ESR’s Geo Wallet, the world’s first wallet with built-in “Find My” functionality, has launched a crowdfunding campaign. Unlike traditional methods requiring separate trackers, Geo Wallet integrates Apple’s tracking technology for real-time location through the Find My app.

The wallet also utilizes RFID anti-theft protection for extra security

This bi-fold wallet boasts a sleek design in seven colors and offers essential wallet features like card slots and a cash compartment. It also utilizes RFID anti-theft protection for added security.

Geo Wallet boasts a long-lasting, built-in battery with a five-month lifespan and a two-hour charging time. The Kickstarter campaign offers various pricing tiers, with the early bird discount of $38 already sold out. Production is expected to begin in August, with shipments starting in January 2025.

Apple has rolled out a new firmware update for the AirPods Pro as well as the AirPods Max which brings the support for finding the products if you misplace them, using the brand’s own Find My application.

The feature was teased by Apple in June at WWDC and was set to be introduced along with the iOS 15. While the feature didn’t show up with the iOS 15, thankfully, the company didn’t take much longer after the delay.

With this new firmware update, the compatible AirPods models get functionality inside of the Find My app, including precise location, a new Nearby Finding UI, Lost Mode, and the ability to get notifications when the earbuds are left behind.

There’s also an AirTag-like Find Nearby interface but given that the products don’t come with the U1 chips installed, the feature isn’t quite as precise as with an AirTag. You won’t be getting arrows pointing towards them, but the onscreen prompts will show statuses like far, near, or “here” depending on how close you are.

Before you take advantage of the new feature, you will need to update your AirPods to the just-released firmware. This isn’t a straightforward process as you need to place the charged AirPods in the case and then place it near a connected phone.

To check the firmware version of your AirPods, go to the Settings on your iPhone/iPad and then navigate to General > About. There, choose AirPods and you will see a field labeled “firmware version.” The new firmware version with Find My support is 4A400.

The addition of AirPods Pro and AirPods Max in the Find My network means that they will now send out a continuous Bluetooth beacon message. When other Apple devices are in the area, they can detect this signal and report it to the Find My network, placing its location on the owner’s map.
