Apple might have some interesting new products in its pipelines.
It's rumored that the company is working on combining the Find My iPhone and Find My Friends apps into one app that can find, well, pretty much anything. 9to5Mac reported that Apple is developing a new product that can be attached to any object to allow it to be tracked through its new app. The device, similar to Tile and other tracking tags on the market, will be able to connect to your iCloud account, after which you can receive notifications when it gets far away from your phone, track its location, or make a sound in order to help you find it.
