I’m like isn’t the Apple remote case with airtag holder like ... obvious. Of course you think they’d just build it in to their tiny remotes. I mean if I threw my Sony tv remote into the woods you could see it from space but those appletv remotes are so thin they slip right into other dimensions.
 
I've read a couple comments saying that if they just included a hole in AirTags, people wouldn't need to buy these extra accessories.

What I don't think they realize is that if they just included a hole in AirTags, people wouldn't need to buy these extra accessories.
Accessories have more profit margin than an actual device.
We know the truth, but Apple will say that users wanted a simple design or the ability to show their personality by accessorizing it with colours and stuff.

Did Apple say something about the range of the AirTags to your iPhone (when no other peoples Apple device is in range)?
 
I've had a Tile attached to my dog's collar for years, now. I'm not so sure I want to spend $29 for the AirTag (or $25 if I buy the four-pack) than another $13 for something to attach it for a dog collar. ($38 ?!)

Still, the Apple ecosystem, with not needing everyone to have a Tile app, is desirous.

You know, if they put a tiny little hole in the air tag you wouldn’t need to buy a whole attachment just to attach it to something else.

They absolutely realise so they can make more money from the accessories than the tags.
 
Did anyone spot the unannounced yellow leather key ring on the apple store app?

These seem reasonable priced and the user changeable battery is awesome. I will be picking some up for sure. Lock me down further into the eco system.

But...

Can we talk about how offensive the Hermes pricing is? Apple really need to drop this garbage, its doing damage to the brand when they release pricing that becomes a meme. $450 for a keyring? $1k for a monitor stand. $1k For wheels. $10k for a gold watch that was obsolete within 18 months. It gives justified ammunition to the haters and those who are on the fence food to think twice.

Is selling all five of them to celebrity heiresses and other dimwits with more money than sense, worth more than turning people away from Apple? Honestly these prices do more damage than they get in sales in my opinion.
 
So bluetooth only? Have I got that right?
Bluetooth has a claimed range of 100mtrs but good luck with that.
I have a pair of Plantronics headphones and I bought them specifically because their bluetooth range is outstanding.
Way better than any of Beats, Bose, Sennheisser, Apple products. I use them in the garden and round the house
They will also play a sound to locate them but even within the house it can be tricky from one end to another. Defeated by walls and doors.
I'd say the max for Bluetooth if you've got anything in the way is about 12mtrs and maybe outside in an open field and line of sight you might just get 100mtrs. I doubt it I think practically, line of sight you'll be lucky to get much more than 30mtrs.
I'd have got one for the dog but if I can see the dog I don't need it and if I can't see it, it's not going to work.
Are people buying these things for putting on stuff to find in the house or are we going to see a lot of disappointed comments in the coming months?
 
The key ring is actually a really poor design (especially for Apple). It sticks out perpendicular to the rest of my keys. Unless you want to attach another key ring to your existing key ring, go 3rd party for this accessory.
