With any luck, it’ll be more difficult to lose this backpack than other.
Accessory maker Targus has announced that it will release a new backpack featuring Apple’s Find My network integration in early 2022.
The backpack could then be easily located via Apple’s “Find My” app.
Per Targus:
“With today’s mobile consumers who carry several devices and personal belongings, keeping track of them all can be challenging,” says Scott Elrich, Director, Global Product Management. “We have combined the latest Apple technology with a smart, carefully designed backpack that meets the needs of today’s mobile and eco-conscious consumers for superior comfort, convenience, and functionality – whether at home, in the office, or on the go.”
The Cypress Hero EcoSmart Backpack is made from recycled water bottles, and it’s one of the first third-party accessories to integrate with Apple’s Find My network. This backpack has also been named a CES 2022 Innovation Awards Honoree.
The backpack is slated to be launched next spring and is built to fit notebooks up to 16 inches. It also features a “dedicated padded laptop compartment and plenty of pockets and storage compartments for carrying and organizing multiple devices and personal items.”
Following the release of Apple’s AirTags accessory, users can easily track their devices via the unit’s built-in U1 chip.
According to the company, users can keep track of compatible third-party products in the Item tab of the Find My app, using an encrypted, anonymous network that uses secure Bluetooth technology to detect missing items nearby and report their approximate location back to the user.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
