Four new lineups (2022 models) of the lost tracker "TILE" will be released sequentially from October 28, 2021
TILE is a smart tracker that sends location information with Bluetooth so that you can find valuables such as smartphones, wallets, and keys.In the 2022 model, the main color changed from white to black, and the design of the overall lineup was renewed.It became a smooth form with a matte texture overall.
The high -end model TILE PRO (2022) has changed its design to make it easier to carry with the key.Until now, it was a square, like the standard model Tile Mate, but it has changed to a slim square round rectangle reminiscent of a key case.
Acquire the waterproof performance of IP67 with all models.Tile Mate (2022) and Tile Sticker (2022) Tile Slim (2022) have improved Bluetooth connection to 75 meters.The Bluetooth connection distance of Tile Pro (2022) is about 120m as the old model.
In addition, the volume of the melody played when searching for something eliminated has grown in the whole series.Tile Pro (2022) has the loud sound, and Tile Mate (2022) and Tile Sticker (2022) Tile Slim (2022) have improved their performance than the old model.
The Tile Mate (2022) abolished the battery replacement ceremony, instead of the battery life from about one year to about three years.
According to an online interview with Tile CEO's CJ Prober before the announcement, such a change in specifications was more popular than the replacement formula as a result of the user test.He also said that replacing button batteries had a high environmental load.
The 2022 model is a battery replacement type only for Tile Pro (2022).This is because electricity requires power to realize the maximum volume and the longest Bluetooth connection distance, and is faster than other models.In addition, the battery could not be replaced with existing models for Tile Sticker and Tile Slim.
One of the new features added from the 2022 model is "Tile Lost and Found".If the person who finds the lost item reads the QR code on the back of the Tile, the owner of the drop will be informed.As a result, in addition to the location detection function outside the Bluetooth connection range by the existing Tile community, all people who are not Tile users can find lost items.
No registration of Tile is required to contact the drop, and anyone can use a smartphone that can read the QR code.This function can be turned on and off on the user side.If you want to use the features and use the function, specify the Tile you want to find from the Tile application (iOS / Android), and set the contact and message to be displayed in the recruited person.
The other is "Scan & Secure", a function of security measures.It will be released in early 2022, not at the same time as the release of the 2022 model.It is a function that allows you to check whether your Tile is not used illegally or if there is an unintended access or device nearby via the Tile application.
When Apple entered the smart tracker market in 2021 with "AirTag", there was a concern that it would be abused by a third party and abused stalking.In Airtag, if the iPhone linked to the main unit is not nearby, the AirTag will sound, and if the victim is an iPhone user, it will be displayed on the screen that "there is an AirTag that is not your own."
On the other hand, in the functions implemented by Tile this time, the victim needs to install the Tile app and voluntarily search for suspicious devices.PROBER commented that "Scan & Secure is the first step in crime prevention measures" to continue considering safety measures under the guidance of experts.After that, the function of security measures will be further developed and will be announced.The stalker perpetrators mentioned 70 % of the data "the victim's acquaintance", and added that they had forgotten the push -type push -type notification method.
In addition to the 2022 model announced this time, it was announced that the new device "Tile Ultra" is scheduled to be released in early 2022.In addition to Bluetooth, it is a device that allows you to search for lost items using "Ultra-Wideband".
In Tile Ultra, you can search for accurate drops using AR with a new feature "Point and Locate" ultra-wideband.They can easily find things that are difficult to find in conventional sounds and rough location information, such as keys dropped on the back of the shelf or bags placed in a noisy restaurant.
This feature will be implemented with a smartphone compatible with Android 12 and Ultra-Wideband.Tile Ultra itself supports both iOS and Android, and iOS will have a Point and Locate function in the future.
In the interview, he revealed that the intention of changing the design of the 2022 model as a whole was in the "Limited Tile Release", and received a limited design in Japan and commented.I want to pay attention to what kind of limited design of Tile, which has a simple appearance, develops.
