I have one in my wallet. Would prefer a tag that doesn’t make it look like I’m walking around with a condom on me at all times.

Everyone knows it’s an AirTag, no one believes you’re having sex. 😉
Or they probably just assume it’s a condom that’s been in there for years
I’ve been considering getting a Chipolo card spot for my wallet. Supposedly it works with the FindMy network and is in a credit card form factor.
I have one, works as intended. Range is slightly lower compared to the original. Likely because of the obstructions in your wallet
Doesn’t do precision tracking though, so you don’t get the arrow and exact distance
What would you wish for in a new version?
Smaller form factor, maybe?
Say if they made the tag more efficient and can use a CR2016 so it could be thinner maybe?
Or just longer battery life with the current battery size
How often do you have to change yours? I got mine on launch and have only had to change the battery one time.
Ya if you get decent batteries you should get about a year per 2032.
Interesting idea but I wonder if it would cut the battery life too much even with efficiency improvements.
Smaller, rechargeable battery. Wallet card model.
Knowing Apple, they will make it difficult to open/repair if it has a rechargeable battery. Thus it will be destined to be e-waste in the future.
Credit card form factor or something slimmer.
I was looking for something like this but eventually gave up and just put a regular one in the coin pocket
Tile do a credit card shaped tracker, however it has a none replaceable battery and I found the Tile experience in general to be sub par compared to air tags
Flatter
One that’s shaped like a credit card to fit in my wallet
How Apple didn’t create one from the beginning is such an easy missed opportunity
same company that still sells a wireless mouse that cannot be charged while using it. I love a lot of apple products but some times they really miss the mark in VERY stupid ways.
Besides upgrading the internal chip and changing the form factor, how much can it really change?
Battery, range, accuracy. Just guessing.
Mine constantly gets where i can't find it with the camera thing. Hope they fix it.
They better not force another album on me with the U2 chip
Can y'all stop buying this shit so that these fuckers stops manufacturing shit like this.
What's wrong with AirTags?
