But, ProRAW is not the only exciting additional feature provided by iOS 14.3 beta. According to 9to5Mac's latest report, iPhone's new system will support the rumored AirTags.
However, based on the internal iOS 14.3 files, the upcoming AirTags are still on track to be announced by the tech giant manufacturer. To help the users, Apple included new images and videos that will guide them through the AirTags setup process.
Some of the AirTags were also found in a leaked iOS 14 internal build.
iOS 14.3 beta's hidden section
In iOS 14.3 beta's Find My app, a hidden section called "Hawkeye" can be seen. This is developed to support the third-party tracking accessories, such as Tile, and of course, the AirTags.

They are so far behind with this product it’s untrue. No use for these now. And place them on something any thief would simply remove it and destroy it or attach it to the nearest random cat — MacFix EU - Darren (@MacFixEU) November 11, 2020

This should already be expected since the additional support was promised by Apple at WWDC 2020. People can use the Find My app as a reference on how to set up their tracking tags and how they can place them in suitcases, bags, key chains, and other objects. They can also use the Find My network to track their belongings.
On the other hand, the code confirms that the registered accessories, such as AirTags, can be tracked even when offline. All you need is a Bluetooth connection. If you noticed, this feature is already available on iPhone, iPad, and other Apple products.
You can now link AirTag to an Apple ID
Thanks to iOS 14.3 beta, users can now link an AirTag to an Apple ID so that it won't work with another ID. They can also reproduce sound alerts. The code states that if you remove the AirTag, other people can set it up and use it since it is no longer connected with your Apple ID.
The tech giant manufacturer will also provide an easy way for people to scan AirTags and identify who owns the lost item. This will really be useful since it is common to lose their baggages, especially if there are a lot of passengers.
