How waterproof are AirTags? Here's what to know
↗
AirTags carry an IP67 rating, meaning they can survive immersion in up to 1 meter of still water for 30 minutes, but their water resistance degrades over time and does not equal waterproofing.
Anyone relying on AirTags for asset tracking or similar use cases should understand that the IP67 rating applies to controlled lab conditions with still water, not real-world scenarios like washing machines, ocean waves, or steam exposure, and that protective seals weaken with age.

AirTags are rated IP67, surviving immersion in 1 meter of still water for up to 30 minutes under controlled test conditions.
Water resistance degrades over time as seals weaken, so older AirTags provide less liquid protection than new ones.
The IP rating does not account for hot water, detergent, steam, or fast-moving water, all of which can exceed what the seals handle.
