The improvements to the 2nd Gen airtags are so vast, I can't see any reason to buy 1G's, even if they were free. After all, you are tracking or protecting something more valuable the price of the airtag. That's not the time to save a few bucks.

I'm tempted by the concept of AirTag - and if I went for it I would go for Gen2 - but I've always been a bit concerned about whether it would have a meaningful impact on my iPhone battery life. What is the situation with that? Was it ever an issue? An issue with 1st Gen that is much better or now a non-issue with Gen2? An inevitable consequence of the technology so there will always be an impact on iPhone battery life and if so then what sort of iPhone battery life impact should I expect?

I'd be even more tempted if Apple added an additional form factor. I can see how the current form factor is good for key rings, luggage tags etc but a credit-card from factor (something as thin as possible at the expense of being bigger in the other two dimensions) would be much better (for me) for slim credit card wallets, passport/travel paperwork wallets and maybe some other stuff as well.

I guess the issue with a credit card form factor is the battery since a standard replaceable battery would be a non-starter. I guess it would have to be rechargeable perhaps with a special ultra-thin charging connector port. I could live with that if it only needed to be charged every 6 to 12 months.
