Is that correct that without the NFC/RFID chip the iPhone has no idea what MagSafe item was attached? I don't know about the wallet, but I thought the iPhone knows what particular items are attached (e.g., leather case including color) because all Apple MagSafe items have some kind of way of identifying itself.
It’s just as clever as it sounded at the event, as in not very clever. It just records the last time/place it was attached to your phone. No real intelligence in the wallet at all.
Oh that is just too funny. This is so true!
I've wondered for a long time when men who are obviously not trim in the torso wear skinny jeans. It just doesn't work because it only emphasizes the fat tummy and the bulging muffin top.
But if you still like it and buy apples offering, you can’t really be that bothered about animals being butchered, right?
This is the kind of Apple product that seems like a profit margin in search of a use.
Forget the NFC chip and the need to create documentation explaining which wallet is compatible with which phone. Just make the magnets stronger. Or take them out completely.

Although it would be useful if it did remember for those other things too, as in where you parked your car or left your charger.
Turns to an anonymous shopper. "Excuse me, but does this look like black or midnight?"
*Looks*
"Is this California Poppy or Golden Brown?"
Complete stupidity. I bought a bonded leather couch that was presented by the salesman as “real” leather. It started peeling 3 years in. Horrible plastic product. Never again will buy anything other than real leather or regular fabric.It doesn't have to be made of plastic:

it’s either real leather or it’s a fabric. Nothing else.
They claim nine billion animals are killed for their skins. 9,000,000,000 animals were skinned? More than the world's population of cows are killed for their skin each year. Mutalated without painkillers! Skinned and cut apart while conscious!I knew someone would complain about PETA.
Give me a break.
Well there are many other animals killed for their skins. And with smaller animals more are needed. I think in the case of Dalmatians you need just over 100 animals.
It's impossible to fit any kind of battery at all into a credit card. If you want an Airtag in card form, it would definitely have to be thicker than one credit card in order to fit some sort of battery into it
Vegan leather is an oxymoron. By definition leather is an animal’s hide. The outside is what most think of as leather but the inside can be used as well, it’s called suede.
How well does the wallet stay connected to the iPhone? I keep my phone in the front pocket on my pants along with a full bi-fold wallet. If I went with this as an alternative when I’m traveling light will it stay attached in my pocket?
Yeah I noticed this term a lot more on the last few years. It used to be called faux leather but I guess the industry opted for a rebrand.
Why not real leather? Its more durable and feels better in the hand. It’s not like more animals are killed for the hide. The global meat demand far outstrips leather demand when it comes to number of cattle slaughtered. It’s not like this is made from crocodiles.

You can bet companies will market the hell out of non-plastic faux leather. But given that the vast majority don’t, mostly likely they are using polyurethane.It doesn't have to be made of plastic:

Yeah, no kidding.
Just call it faux leather dammit.
The boat industry calls it ultra leather and has for at least 20 years.
I've tried a NFC sticker on my current MagSafe Wallet and appear to be unable to achieve same functionality as the Find My MagSafe Wallet. May need to just purchase one.
It's unfortunate that the magnet wasn't at least slightly stronger I am legit anticipating some MagSafe improvements as they prep for the potential portliness iPhone
