It’s all seamless, you don’t need to rely on other people the devices handle it all. Have people forgotten the U1 chips too.

Leaker Reveals Size of Apple's AirTags and Says They'll Cost Around $39

What the heck is a "50 cent" coin? Is that slightly bigger than a 25 cent coin or a 12" pie plate?
Is there going to be some sort of ‘opt-in’ for Apple users? What I mean is, it’s pretty presumptive to release a product (airtags) that relies on another product (iPhones etc..) to work properly. If everyone who didn’t have airtags opted out of allowing their iOS devices to be part of the network, the usability would be drastically reduced. On the other hand, do Apple have the right to use your device/data to ensure airtags work appropriately?
If the dimensions quoted here are accurate, they'd be too big to put on a cat. Unless you want to drive the cat insane.
So they cost about 4-5 dollars to produce to allow for the 7500 percent apple tax. 
This think live and falls with software. - i guess macrumors forum members will brighten it up like with apple watch - Apple normally is not able to deliver itself anymore.
but tile will be a MEGA success anyways - people love that xxxx - and its pretty „cheap“ for an apple item!
mass surveillance - level 2!

They cost around a dollar - apple will have dropping water from their mouthSo they cost about 4-5 dollars to produce to allow for the 7500 percent apple tax.
Not just you. His tweets are limited (Protected) here too.
Not surprised after Apple saying they’re going to track down the leakers.
If I were Apple, I would make this a loss leader. price it $10 and flood the market
Their right comes from you accepting the terms of service when you upgraded to iOS 14.
And Apple is not using your device or data. It's not any different than someone seeing your wi-fi network.
I wonder how these will be any different from Tile trackers that have been around for years now. I used to have one. I liked it but it wasn't precise enough to find anything in your house, it just provided a general location on a map. Only good for if you left your keys or wallet in a restaurant or something.
How many do you get for $39? Please tell me they aren't selling them one at a time.
With the Mac line being streamlined (discontinued some models and unreleased models in the code showing up) as well as details on the airtags and Apple Tv, it does feel like an Apple event is going to happen in April
You know that this is Apple? They can charge whatever they want and people will buy it an praise them.
Look at what the Apple Pencil replacement tips cost. Or their overpriced cables.
OOC, I wonder what the minimum age is now for someone who has actually seen/held a fifty cent piece? I'm 51 and I probably haven't come upon one in 20 years.
You may not be the target audience for this. Some better uses cases are: a parent who wants to drop one in their child's backpack; a traveler who wants to stick one in his checked bag; a spouse who want to hide one in the frame of their significant other's car.
I truly wonder how they'll deal with stalkers and predators. We know that sooner or later it will be used by some piece of s- individual to track their victim.
It was reported some time ago.
If a tag which is not yours will follow you too long (with the help of their proprietary algorithm which will take under consideration such cases as public transportation) you will have an alert on your iPhone to disable this tag.

For a website that’s so global you ain’t half American-ist. I have ZERO idea how big a “half dollar piece” is. So still very much in the dark.
