How are you going to hook them to keys?

Edit: A separate leather pouch? For literally the primary purpose of this device? This rumor seems dumb.

I hope that the small cases aren’t only leather and that they have the silicone option available. Too many accessories that come only in leather. I want a cruelty-free option!

From the prices of Apple's phone cases, I'm guessing:

silicone = ker-ching
leather = ker-ching ker-ching

Do you eat only humanely killed animals?

Apple never said october. They said delayed by few weeks.

Apple's CFO said "available a few weeks" after late September. If he meant November or December, he probably would have been more vague and said something like "available later this year."

So he basically copied every design concept already out there (they’re all pretty much the same), and now will use that as justification that he’s not wrong about every single prediction? Seriously, why are we still reading about him? I know posters on these forums who can guess more accurately than this guy.
 
"... tad larger than a bottle cap." And they expect that people will stick these in their wallet. GLWT

There's no hole for attaching to a keyring. I could throw one in a backpack. But the form factor seems bulky to attach to something that is handled frequently, since one would be worried about losing said object. I just don't see any real use-case for something like this.

Now, if this were like an RFID sticker, I could think of uses. Or possibly flat on one side and shaped like a thin bump when attached to an object so it would be difficult to knock off.

Maybe Apple's presentation of these things will make me want one. As of right now, I have no interest. I don't lose things often enough that I'd want to put a thing on it to help me find it.

Slightly larger than a bottle cap? That’s way smaller than I thought they’d be..,

Watch me eat these words soon but I just don’t see Apple introducing these pretty much ever. Reason being is when Apple enters a market segment they dominate it from the start. The “bluetooth tracker market” isn’t a huge market and although they would dominate it I just don’t see the intelligent days to day application for this.
This will tie directly into their Find My network. So it’s going to be like Tile on steroids given the huge scale advantage.
