As the school day approaches, many Hong Kong students studying abroad leave Hong Kong to continue their studies. At the same time, Hong Kong people continue to immigrate to European and American countries. Recently, an electronic product has become very popular, and it is even more difficult to find.
Fang Baoqiao, honorary chairman of the Hong Kong Information Technology Chamber of Commerce, revealed that due to the chaotic operation of airports in Europe and the United States, passengers' luggage has been lost from time to time. Therefore, the Apple product AirTag with tracking function is quite popular in Europe and the United States.
Recently, the trend has spread to Hong Kong. There is no AirTag on the shelves of the Apple Store on Canton Road. The store staff even claimed that the whole Hong Kong is out of stock, and it can only be ordered in the online store for the time being. The price is the same as the store's 239 yuan.

Fang Baoqiao: Passengers who often lose luggage at British airports put AirTag to help them find it
Fang Baoqiao, Honorary President of the Hong Kong Information Technology Chamber of Commerce, said that due to the global impact of the epidemic, the operation of airports has been chaotic due to lack of manpower. Among them, the British airport is one of the most chaotic, and passengers often lose their luggage.
Therefore, the Apple product AirTag with tracking function has become the new darling of European and American countries.

Fang estimates that because citizens are worried about losing their luggage, if they want to buy multiple AirTags and hang them on each luggage, they only need to connect to their personal iPhones to track the location in real time, so the demand is high, and they are even snapped up to the point of being out of stock.
However, he believes that the function of AirTag is not magical. If the environment where AirTag is located, there is no iPhone around it, it cannot be located in real time. For luggage use, it is functionally sufficient.
