You can change the word replacements to anything you like. For instance, if I type "ducking" it autocorrects to the f-version of the word on both my iPhone and my Mac.

That's a whole other issue.
The point is that Hermes anything is going to be very expensive (just look at the price of the Hermes-branded Apple Watch) so its a little disingenuous to act surprised by the cost of an Hermes accessory.
So what? This is not the point of my criticism. The criticism is directed against that paternalism and I am not obliged to find it good just because Apple is allowed to do it.
Clearly Apple doesn't believe that free speech is a human right.
Yeah, that used to work on iOS 13. I had it that way. It no longer works on iOS 14
I’m in favor of Apple giving tools to parents to control their children use of the Internet and smartphone. That’s a legitimate paternalism from parents to childs. But I don’t understand such paternalism towards adults tbh.
not a American but I value free speech, when I read these comments I assume they mean in general Like in the western liberal democracy sense.
as in I have the freedom of saying what i want, and deal with the consequences in this case is that means people think that I’m an idiot for having the Poo+unicorn emoji on a few tags then I have to deal with the social consequences.
in this case I’m telling a computer what to put on the tag that I’m paying for.
they shouldn’t be involved in limiting my speach on my own property.
their business proposition was We will engrave X number of characters including emoji’s on the tag, that should include the whole Unicode alphabet including emoji’s Period.
The only limiting factor should be the physical size of the tag and the size of a lettering.
don’t get me wrong I tend think a private business should be able to do what it wants Personally but by them limiting it they’re the ones breaking their own social contract since they didn’t pre-specify limitations
So anyone that does hold grudge against Apple I can’t blame them either.
I have to admit, while watching the event I did laugh out loud when I saw you could put emoji's on these.
That's funny, I typed 💩🚽 (sorry, my auto correct replaced it with those emojis) I typed 'B L M' and it allowed me... hmm ...
I imagine it is not hard to find a third party engraving service to add whatever art work you want.
OK, I searched and it took about a second to find some. Looks like your local trophy and gift shop can do this.

We have 7 of those.That can't be Welsh, it has vowels.
And a key reason Apple can sort of success in China.View attachment 1761360 A bit more accurately, it isn't JUST Apple.
I'm not tired of it, but puzzled... Apple has built a reputation on being a "big brother" that is looking out for customers... just look at the complaints by people here who are paralyzed by the increased number of options when buying an iPhone or iPad. There is an increase in the number of "which one should I buy?" type of threads. They appreciate Apple limiting the options.
Apple tightly controls which apps can appear in the app store. Apps that don't pose a danger or hazard to customers are prohibited from appearing in the app store if they do something that Apple doesn't want done.
Apple makes it irritating to the user experience if one doesn't want to upgrade the OS.
Customer control and choice has never been something that Apple has offered (to any great extent). Restrictions on airtag engravings is consistent with that.
Well, I don’t want to extend much.
New business opportunity! 3rd Party X-Rated Air Tag engraving (like X-Rated fortune cookies) - where there is a will, there is a way!
I have no opinion on this product at this time and I’m not sure I’m even going to buy any
That said it bothers me immensely that they are restricting what you have engraved on your own product....Particularly when it is simple stuff like “words they don’t like”.
