Photo Depicts Alleged AirTag Keychain

I know you're joking but some ppl here really think this is a better answer than 'chip'n' their pet in a national registry.
I see this just as a normal keychain with a BIG apple logo ... not a 'tag' product.
Not to mention, the ‘Designed by Apple in California’ etching isn’t even centered correctly on the ring. If Apple actually printed this it wouldn’t be so sloppily done.
To help people who constantly lose their **** to find it again. iPhones with the U1 chip will be able to direct you within a few centimeters of a lost item with an air tag attached to it. Keys, wallet, remotes, you name it.
I'd almost guarantee that's fake. The typography is VERY sloppy
As an example, look at the kerning (spacing) between the I-F-O of 'California'. There's no way Apple would let that out the door.
(Oh, and don't worry that the tag has text on a curve than in a straight line. Designers can rebalance text to ensure it looks perfect)
Reference photo to demonstrate just how perfectly balanced their work is.

This would be sweet if true. Fingers crossed for tomorrow. I’m not planning on buying a new Mac so I’m hoping for new Apple TV and air tags!
I'd guess the Apple-silicon macs will get U1 chips too. Then the ecosystem for AirTags and orientation/location-awareness for all devices is nearly complete (iPhone, iPad, Watch, HomePod mini as fixed reference, Mac(Book)).
Maybe we'll also see an ATV with U1 in the near future and an update of the HomePod.
I'm seeing how Apple is preparing the ground for powerful AR-applications (Glasses ;-)

You're not mistaking the technology. We have some very interesting people that don't seem to know that iPhone already has FIND MY built in. As you mentioned if UWB is used on the iPhone 11& later models they would even benefit from the enhanced tracking.
I always read people saying that they want AirTags to easily attach onto their iPhone. You know, so when they open up the FIND MY app and see their iPhone Airtag appear right next to their iPhone (Two entires for the same device).... 🤯
You understand that they are making Airtags to turn non Apple devices into Apple Find my devices right? You know the iPhone already has this BUILT IN?
What you're currently asking for is to put a GPS tracker on your GPS tracker. 😂
A strip of leather and a stainless steel ring... 100$ accessory right there 
Na it's only $49 for the Airtag! $50 for the chain, and well $200 for the leather holder.... OK $299 not bad....
But what if the battery is dead.
The chip doesn't really help if your dog took off and you want to know where in the neighborhood it is. (Granted, AirTags would probably require a pretty dense population of Apple devices for this to work effectively, and a cellular GPS tracker would most likely be a much better option.)
Hmm I can see a lot of people going out to buy puppies so they can prevent them being lost. Another thing folks didn’t know they needed until Apple invented air tags! /s
