Targus Showcases Cypress Hero EcoSmart Backpack With Built-in Apple Find My Technology

Targus is showcasing a new Cypress Hero EcoSmart Backpack with built-in Apple Find My technology at CES 2022.

Slated for retail availability next spring, this innovative laptop backpack features a built-in tracking device that connects to its owner’s iPhone to find the location of his or her personal tech and other belongings inside the backpack to keep them safe and secure whether at home, in the office, or on the go. Or if the iPhone gets lost, the backpack will find it on the Find My network.

“With today’s mobile consumers who carry several devices and personal belongings, keeping track of them all can be challenging,” says Scott Elrich, Director, Global Product Management – Soft Cases. “We have combined the latest Apple technology with a smart, carefully designed backpack that meets the needs of today’s mobile and eco-conscious consumers for superior comfort, convenience, and functionality – whether at home, in the office, or on the go.”




Targus says if an iPhone is lost, users can simply press a button in the backpack to ping their phone, sending an alert to inform them of its location.

The backpack comes with a replaceable battery that is rechargeable via USB. It will be available in Spring/Summer 2022 for a retail price of $149.99.
