    What does that have to do with the Pixels? That’s a Bluetooth beacon thing, and it’s being added to all Androids through Play Services, including supporting Air Tags.

    As far as hardware, it’ll be interesting to see if they announce anything on October 4th.

      AirTags use UWB for more precise finding, but uses Bluetooth as a way to increase minimum levels of compatibility

        Ah. The UWB is only for direct position. It largely uses Bluetooth to be found and broadcast.
