I ordered at 1310 in the UK with engraving. Showing as delivery on the 30th.
Now just to find cases for them to attach to the key rings

I know all this. My point was that GeoStructural seemed to want Apple to remove those anti-stalking measures because they also make anti-theft usage more difficult but wasn't willing to admit that trade-off openly.
If the tag is attached behind the neck on the collar, it will be impossible for the pet to ingest the tag while wearing the collar.
Ordering non engraved because I want to be different than the 99% of the buyers who got engraved.
Also ordered no engraved, but that's because it was a month earlier haha.
I bought the 4 pack. Had my initials engraved on each one followed by a 1,2,3,4.I ordered a 4-pack around 8AM MDT with engraving and got a delivery date of May 17th.Oh well. I really do think the engraving is required for this product. If you have a pile of 4 in your hand how else are you going to tell them apart?
It would be quite strange if Apple wouldn't know how to create an aluminium casing with a very small protruding part with a hole! I mean their laptop casings have more complex designs.I guess you can call the leather bands an ecosystem, to me it sounds more like a highly aggressive profit strategy.
I think that the ability to attach the product to bags etc. without add-on items is at least as big difference between Tile and Airtags than the U1 chip.
I guess you can call the leather bands an ecosystem, to me it sounds more like a highly aggressive profit strategy. Feels also like a marketing strategy. Apple wants these airtags to be seen dangling from bags in colourful straps like some sort of fashion statement (sorta like how AirPods have a very distinctive design and everyone knows when you are wearing them). They are not meant to be tossed into your handbag and then forgotten about thereafter. In a way, it’s also reminiscent of the Apple Watch band system. You have the core product, and numerous ways of customising its appearance to suit your preferences.
Probably better just to pop in to a Target or Beat Buy on Friday. Unless you absolutely need it engraved
ROFLMA.
They didn't pull a hole so they could sell idiots $30+ accessories that cost more than the tags in some cases. Adding a hole would have been easy in countless ways.
I just can't with you people that make these comments. Hey, go Apple in a capitalist society. I'd gouge prices too if people were continually dumb enough to keep paying them. $12 for third party is excessive imo for key chain tags that should be more like $3-$4, but again, capitalism. That looks like a value compared to Apple even though it is price gouging people because you really can't use the damn thing in most cases without buying an extra accessory unless it's going in a bag or something.
I have no doubt there will be tons of keychains on Amazon for under $5 next month.
I only bought 2 and mine are showing April 30. I just wanted to try a few of them and possibly will get more for my family after a little time trying them out.
My arrival dat is already in June. Apple is gonna sell a ton of these things.
I ordered 4 with the full expectation that I will want at least four more.
Car keys, car keys, car, car ... oh, backpack, suitcase, house keys, maybe a second suitcase ...

My engraved 4-pak departed Kunshan, China to Shanghai, to Osaka, Japan to Anchorage, Alaska and has now departed Alaska. Be here Friday according to UPS.
You had shipping confirmation from Apple or just via UPS? I am in the UK and don’t have the UPS app. Maybe I will get something once they hit the UK. Ordered moments after they went live.
UPS My Choice. Apple still says preparing for shipping like they always do until it goes through customs.
I keep checking UPS My Choice and I still don’t have a tracking number. Apple still says “Preparing to Ship” and that it will arrive on Friday. I ordered mine in-engraved - maybe that’s why?
