AirTag Shipping Estimates Already Slipping Into May

[DotCom2]

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?

Don’t worry. You’ll get yours on Friday. I had mine engraved as well.

Mine just shipped. Yea!

My AirTags went to shipped this morning and the Belkin key ring just went to shipped. AirTags are coming via UPS while the key ring is FedEx. I can’t wait for tomorrow.

I was excited about this product but after seeing all of its shortcomings I don't think I can justify purchasing it. My main concern is how easily it can be fooled in the case my property is stolen.

I wish Apple could implement something like a "Stolen Mode" but after reading yesterday's interview where they suggest buying an Apple Watch as a solution I don't have any hope now.



No one is detaining you to do your research, but do not worry, here is the link to the interview, it is in the front page of this same website: https://www.macrumors.com/2021/04/22/airtags-for-items-not-pets-children/



They are meant to be found, so they will beep like crazy after some time... that's what the review say.



You can just report like someone is tracking you, you can take the battery off...



Yes.

What makes you think that Apple has to create a device just for creeps’ needs?

They don’t advertise AirTag as a secret anti-theft device. It’s just an item tracker that is supposed to be found easily. If your item is stolen, you have a few hours to find it. After that it’s not Apple’s problem. If you want something that you could stick in someone else’s purse to follow that person, look for somewhere else.

Man, I’m sick of entitled people who get mad at Apple every time a product that they don’t need gets launched.

I didn’t know wanting to find my lost property qualified me as a creep. The things I learn from iSheeps…

They don’t advertise AirTag as a secret anti-theft device. It’s just an item tracker that is supposed to be found easily.

That is exactly what I said: the tracker is not for me and therefore I am not buying it, why that triggered you is beyond me, but I can tell you I am not alone in my desired feature set.
