But maybe I will be after I actually see them in action.
I’ve owned tiles for years now and they’ve save me so much time and stress , Ive found my wallet that’s dropped into a nearly invisible positions many times (car / sofa / under bed), having the trackers hidden in cars and bikes means theives have to find them before they’re not useful, I think most future Apple products will be locatable without a separate tag.
I guess it also comes down to your personality, if you don’t lose things these aren’t useful, I’ll openly admit to being forgetful or inconsistent on where I leave things, opening the app and finding the item quickly is great, with Apple I expect the experience to be even better.
regarding the AirPods it might be possible to have a chip in the case, not sure if they’re small enough for the actual ear pieces.
