AirTags: Apple's Item Trackers - Everything We Know

Bluetooth from my tiles, Apple Watch, and AirPods still leave me with plenty of battery at the end of the day. And I assure you, I’m a heavier iPhone user and one who is often out of reception.
Yes i did.. did u? .. there is no mention of the size. ( ‘small’ says nothing to me )
therefore the question.
"if you lose an item that has an AirTag on it, you'll get a notification on your iPhone" REALLY? Without my having to do anything?
Will it work with items that are misplaced around the house and that can be located using my iPad or desktop Mac?
A Tile on my keys can be used to locate my phone.

I was thinking, "All we need is some Diet Coke and - WHOOSH!"
$49 to replace the battery. Or just $19 if you already paid $19 for AppleCare+

The Mentos version is intended for internal use.
Get out your Barf Bag Pro cuz they ”can’t wait” to show them to you.
Same here, but... I´ll be putting one on my bike for sure! If it gets stolen, odds are there will be people with iphones nearby so that I can locate it. The problem with every other "tile" is that you need to have thier app installed to locate things for others, with this one all you need is another iphone within reach.
Depending on how they are powered, you may have to persuade the cat to sit still on a wireless charging mat!
I wonder if these can be hot glued to children and pets so I can track them.

Embedded just under the skin in your right forearm. To charge, just place your right forearm on a Qi-compatible wireless charger.
Most commenting don't have any experience with any tracker, I got some "Trackr" bluetooth devices about 2 years ago, while I used them a lot at first, they took a CR2036 battery that was replaceable (one reason I got instead of the non-replaceable Tile kind). They go through batteries about every 3 months, which after you pay about $49 for 3 devices, you get to pay constantly for batteries. No thanks, unless the apple ones are rechargable, it doesn't make fiscal sense for being irresponsible. I hope the apple ones are better, but I am not expecting much.
We've got 8 Tiles around the house, most the newer ones with replaceable batteries. The latest purchase (on Amazon) they were $42 for four, $10.50 each. If the Apple ones are $25 to $35 each that would be 2-3 times the price. And the Tiles have improved greatly over the years. I can't imagine the Apple ones to be better.

Hot glue doesn’t hold up when they sweat from playing. Trust me... I KID x’s 3 😂
I have tiles and the new one is terrible. One is on my keychain and it is constantly going off. I also lost my keys and it couldn’t track it because no one nearby had a tile with software installed. Apple’s could be more effective because it will utilize the Apple ecosystem. So when I lost my keys? They were at a friend’s house and they had apple phones. With the Apple tag, it would have been found and I would have had peace of mind for a couple days earlier.

If they scrapped it, they scrapped it differently than they scrapped AirPower. AirPower was announced.
