AirTag Hermès Currently Unavailable From Apple

[MacRumors]

As reported by 9to5Mac, AirTag Hermès is currently unavailable for purchase from Apple or directly from the Hermès website. The reasoning behind the unavailability remains unknown.

Apple's AirTags Hermès line features three separate styles, an AirTag with a Hermès keyring, bag charm, and luggage tag. All styles feature the standard AirTag with a removable backplate but engraved with "Hermès Apple AirTag." Each style of AirTag holder is made with high-quality leather and starts at $299 and goes up to $449 for the luggage tag.

Maybe they sold out to the 10 people who could afford this.

The guy in the other article claims the metal post came undone and the loop fell off his keychain in his pocket.

Maybe someone realized how ridiculous this is and shut it down.

$350 for $5 of leather and pot metal?

 

[DekuBleep]

They must have only made a few and sold out.

FOMO. Order ASAP while you still can.

It's too expensive?

Oh, wait, I just had a mental break there for a second. HAH HAH HAH... Something 'too expensive'? I'm such a joker...

 

[Grimace]

I bought 1000 of them so I could resell them for the panic buyers

Washed with Angel tears...

Put the airtag inside the luggage. $450 saved!

Don’t think Hermès made plenty of them to be available in first place.

The 9to5Mac article about this says:

"One 9to5Mac reader believes this may be over a quality issue he experienced with his Hermès Key Ring, which fell apart in his pocket"

He said this: "I pulled my keys out of my pocket and was surprised to find only the Hermes Airtag and its strap in my hand. Not exactly confidence inspiring. It had had a posh life, with no notable stress or harm. At first I thought it had just come undone but, upon closer examination, it was clear that the bottom of its metal post had unscrewed, at some point, and eventually separated."

Relax people. It’s a Hermès product. They are not going to give it to Apple for $15. Not like Apple does not have a cheaper leather accessory.

Hermès quality. Woohoo.

Insane pricing, Amazon is full of third party items for Air Tags for just a few €.

Right up there with the 5 people who could afford the original $10,000 Apple Watch.

It’s not unreasonable to think that some people thought this would make a nice Mother’s Day gift. I got my mom two airtags with the leather keychain and leather loop, but I wasn’t crazy enough to spend Hermès prices lol

 

[powerbook911]

Have you all seen the unboxing of the Hermès airtags? It was a very nice presentation. If you are a Hermès person, I could see the interest.

 

[jonnysods]

The fact that one of these sold blows my mind!

 

[j4c3k69]

Not a single one got sold?

same thing happened to me. but I (accidentally) kept it in my pocket while working out pretty hard. lesson learned, but it is very disconcerting.

Nothing screams, "This Item is Being Tracked." More than a flashy leather holder. The first thing any crook will do when steeling an item with this attached is remove it and slip it into someone else's pocket or leave it in their Uber sending the owner of the expensive holder and purse...luggage...briefcase...etc. On a wild goose chase.

Some people have much more money than brains.

Anything Hermes is way overpriced and frankly seems less functional.
