Maybe if they where cheaper people would be buying them in droves

Last year they were up to $1B sales.

They’re around $25 and priced pretty similarly to Tile an Chipolo. And unlike Tile, they’re actually good at precision tracking outside of your home.

Of all the stuff Apple sells, these things actually seem priced well. They’re like $5 more than the competition, but they have a much broader network.

The trouble is Samsung is only for it's own ecosystem. The Google version should render the Samsung one obsolete.

My bike cost 1000€, the cost of an AirTag is a rounding error when keeping it safe.

Not everyone owns a 1k bike.

No, but I bought the pack of four and it's nice to have one on my bike, in my car, and in my bag where my laptop and iPad live when I'm traveling.

You can tag your 1k car with it too.

..but not everyone. Yeah yeah 😆

You joke, but I definitely bought a Civic for $950 and drove it a couple years. It burned oil and looked atrocious. But hey, it got me to work. Then I sold it and broke even. 😂
