It's worse, people buying these, no-one should buy these, which would force Apple to include a hole in the AirTags at no extra cost.

The navy blue and forest green are fairly dark, if that's what you want. None of these are traditionally "feminine" colors. I think I would be comfortable with "the guys" seeing me with one of these.
i'll connect to it via bt next time, 'cause right now nothing comes up when i search for 'car'. and thanks — i didn't know this was a thing)
Exactly this, I despise people buying these AirTags without a hole in it, if few people buy them Apple would have been forced to rethink their designs.
Nowadays most people can't think straight, just...wanna have this instead of thinking first, sorry, that's the way I see it, hell, quite a few colleagues of mine are the same.
One difference is that the maps options used GPS and the spatial resolution of GPS is coarser than what is used by Apple Tags. GPS can get really confused underground.
I only have one and it's in a pocket in my laptop case. I like that it's smaller than the other tags. If I got another it would go in luggage and again, no hole needed. I guess there are different use cases.
I disagree, the big issue is Apple's greed not to include a hole.i think it's poor taste to vent about this in airtag keyring threads — there are specific airtag ones
Apple bragging about how green they are, yet here we are, being environment unfriendly by not having a hole in the AirTags.
It's a vald reason to vent ones opinion in this thread here.
I was thinking of attaching one to my mind. That way, I can easily answer the question "have you lost your mind?"
Not only is airtag designed to be easy to see, it also plays an annoying sound with the speaker whenever a stranger moves it (once it has been separated from the owner's phone for a while).
And if they're smart, they'll scan the AirTag and factory reset it, then use it themselves or sell it. You can even do that with a web browser on any NFC equipped phone (eg android).
They are definitely not designed to protect against theft. AirTags are for lost items.
It's a trade-off Apple made to make it more difficult to abuse someone by tracking everywhere they go.
this has been discussed here many times. if the airtag included a hole — it would need to get larger. it doesn't bother me, although naturally i could fine many uses for it.
Yes, very strange from a company who is supposed to be committed to the environment.
Or grab a pack of 4 knock-offs for $20 off Amazon that work just as well.
The most common leather alternative is petroleum-based plastic, called polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It's made with fossil fuels, can be harmful to human health, and is not biodegradable.
I’ve got the California poppy Watch let her strap and the MagSafe card wallet in the same colour. It’s a really nice shade and has aged well in both cases. Matches mustard Converse beautifully!is it me, or are those colors awful?
I think I saw that Nomad has a holder with an adhesive back. I was looking on their website because they advertised a holder that made it into a very thick "card" to in theory fit in billfolds.
as i already told you — you need to start these petitions! don't just sit there!!
i'm glad you like it, obviously this is purely a question of personal preference. none of these color appeal to me, but that's perfectly fine — i'm not a fan of the design anyway.

They won’t be able to and no, you can’t (factory reset someone else AirTag), unless you know the iCloud password of the owner.
