AirTags are priced at $29 each, with a pack of four available at a discounted price of $99. AirTags are eligible for free engraving, with the space available allowing for up to four letters or three to four emoji characters depending on the size of the emoji. Engraving will delay the shipping estimates for AirTags.

AirTags are Apple-designed Bluetooth trackers that are designed to integrate with the Find My app. You can attach them to items that are easy to lose, such as keys, to track those items right alongside your Apple devices. AirTags have benefits like a U1 chip and Precision Finding for iPhone 11 and 12 models.

There's no indication that AirTags will be in short supply, but it's always a good idea to get orders in early. Apple is also now selling AirTag accessories like the Loop and Leather Key Ring at prices that start at $29.

Alongside the AirTags, Apple is now making the newly announced purple iPhone 12 and 12 mini available for purchase. These devices are identical to the existing iPhone 12 and 12 mini models, just in a lavender shade.

$350 for a keychain. That’s smart spending!
It’s all in the eyes of the beholder. Expensive cars have expensive keys to replace. My key ring costs over $1,000 to replace.

I have a good paying job and I love my Hermès Apple Watch so why not?

smart indeed if you ask me!

Ordered a 4 pack and a couple of accessories to try. I’m glad there’s finally an item tracking solution that isn’t guaranteed to be selling your data off somewhere for profit — that’s the only reason I haven’t purchased a Tile in the past.
