AirTags Available for Purchase on Amazon, Best Buy and More

[MacRumors]

Shipping estimates for Apple's AirTags are already slipping in to May directly from Apple's site, but third-party retailers are also offering AirTags and it's possible orders could ship out close to the AirTags release date.

AirTags can be preordered on Amazon, and while it mentions the AirTags release date of April 30, it does not seem to guarantee a delivery date. "Order now and we'll notify you by email when we have an estimated delivery date for this item," the site reads.

Best Buy also has AirTag preorders and the Best Buy listings do say that the AirTags will "ship by release day," which is not a release day delivery guarantee.

B&H Photo and Adorama are accepting preorders, but do not list release or shipping dates. On Target's website, AirTags are available to preorder but there's no release date listed.

In the UK, AirTags will be available from John Lewis and Currys PC World.

AirTags purchased from third-party retailers are plain, and those hoping for an engraved AirTag will need to order directly from Apple. Unengraved AirTags from Apple ship out in May, while engraved AirTags won't deliver until late May or early June.

Tag (noun) :attached to someone or something for the purpose of identification or to give other information.

These aren’t tags, they can’t attach to anything, they’re discs. I’d buy one as soon as iFixit shows me where to drill a hole.

Already made a couple hundred bucks in affiliate cash on them.

I wish it has a function like the Samsung Galaxy smart tags that can use turn on/off light. Use it as part of your smart home. Hope AirTag 2 will have that function.

Now if only apple would make a Credit card shape one I would be all over it. I would love to switch off of Tile but I need one for my wallet that just goes in a CC spot

It looks like no engraving though. That is a major selling point for me, personalizing each AirTag with emoji.

There will no doubt be wallets with an AirTag spot.

If you preorder from Apple it looks like all options have slipped into May now. For awhile the 4 pack was still available for April 30 delivery.

What surprises me here is the amount of people who are so scatter brained they cannot remember where they put items they use every day. 😂

Since you took the effort to lock up the Tag definition online, surely you must be able figure out that things to be attached do not necessarily need to have a hole? Or is it really that hard?

I’ve heard that you can drill right in the middle, the battery is of no concern.

Apple only offers free engraving to their own customers, not through third parties.

It's one of their many anticompetitive tactics.

Costco has it for $95 (4-pack), but it's expected to ship week of May 3

What items are you putting these in? Wallet, purse are obvious, but what else?

Except my wallet is so small now an AirTag would increase its volume by 50% or more.

A backpack, a laptop satchel, etc..

Can I put one on my dog?

You'll never lose that shaker of salt again. Thanks, Apple...in California.🧂

Maybe someone will make dog collars with little pockets for the AirTag.

This might be achievable via the Shortcuts app, provided Apple adds some functionality for air tag detection, which you can then use as a trigger to automate responses.

Please take a look at this previous MR article, where an Apple executive answered the question. There is a quote near the bottom of the article addressing both children and pets. Hope this helps you decide what’s best for you and your family.

Apple Executive Says AirTags Designed to Track Items, Not Children or Pets

I'll wait until I

1. Can get them cheaper, Airtags are €35 a piece or €119 for a pack of 4 here.
2. Watched a video on youtube where to drill a 1 mm hole.
3. Can figure out what to use them for, I almost never miss items that belong to me.
