Photo Depicts Alleged AirTag Keychain

[hellosil]

This is so fake. I’m excited for Airtags, but come on.
- the lettering is off
- The patent has the leather wrapped the other way around
- the strategically placed red dott
- the quality of the ‘leather’

Looks like $99 leather keychain

 

[Kylo83]

A metal ring from apple £89

 

[joshuamj]

Considering the ridiculous price of the MagSafe Duo charger, these should be included 🤣 Nah jk jk each AirTag will cost $69. And require a HomePod in order to work.

 

[DamoTheBrave]

Would be pretty crazy to miss the Christmas sales period if the product is ready.

'Air tag' ring looks just the same size as the mag safe ring charger. Could be a way to recharge 'Air tags" without having to replace batteries. Apple has found ways to make sure us users do not interfere with the apple products!

I'd get one. Hate misplacing my keys. A waterproof (and indestructible) version for my dog's collar would be great too.

 

[kepler20b]

what's the point of air tags?

 

[handle manifest]

Why is something like this called a keychain when none of its components is a chain?

 

[the_color_orange]

Lol, just $59 "accessory" for the actual Airtag that costs the same for a 3-pack.
...we can see it now. 🙄

I'll just velcro the puck to anything that needs tracking.

 

[rjbenson83]

integrate this tech into an AirPod case. I swear I lose my case every other week.

 

[jclardy]

Hmm, in leather. I’m ready for the $99/tag with 1 year disposable battery.

 

[DarkCole]

Inside the MagSafe iPhone case it says designed by Apple on the magnets. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is real.

 

[x-evil-x]

Umm...
Why?!

Because they don’t know about find my phone? no idea how they don’t understand it’s the same thing.

 

[macfacts]

That "real" pic doesn't match up with the patent drawing of the leather strap

 

[easy4lif]

I’ll wait for version 2.0

 

[4487549]

No way in hell it says "Assembled in China". Fudge is trolling us for sure.

 

[rictus007]

IDK looks like it will be at $99 plus $10 for Apple care

 

[Abstract]

There’s no way Ive would have designed something that thick.

 

[predation]

Nice. A $50 air tag holder. /s

 

[satchmo]

What’s the red dot hiding?

 

[Avalanche66]

I want this, but the only thing i usually misplace is my Wallet...and if i put it in my wallet its gonna look like a condom indentation...so i think ill wait til gen 3 where its as thin and flat as a piece of paper 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

[nitramluap]

I think I understand why they're taking so long: they need all the pieces in place first to make it work.

In other words:
- several iterations of iPhone/iPad with the U1 chip
- Apple Watches with the U1 chip (Series 6)
- HomePod minis with the U1 chip

Once you have several HomePod minis in the house and an iPhone/iPad you suddenly have an 'internal GPS system' for your house. So querying Siri for 'Where are my keys' will result in something magical:

"Your keys are in the kitchen"

...and when you get your iPhone out you'll be able to 'see' their location in augmented reality.

 

[Eso]

I bet these will be MagSafe compatible so that you can attach them directly to your phone! 😏

Lol, just $59 "accessory" for the actual Airtag that costs the same for a 3-pack.

I don't disagree. If you just know there will be third party options (or knockoffs, whatever word one prefers lol) for much cheaper.

I have have a Milanese loop knockoff I bought 3 years ago for $15. It gets best to hell and it's still rather nice.

I expect a replica of this exact keychain for under $10 without any doubts. Hell, they're probably already in production lol.
