AirTag hidden in luggage forces tourists to change vacation plans
So. If you put an AirTag in your check-in suitcase, it will start beeping throughout the flight?AppleZulu said:There are a lot of incorrect assumptions and disinformation in this thread. Maybe read up on the tech before writing about it.
(the user manuals for Apple products are as long as they used to be for MS Office applications….)

SIM card trays may disappear from iPhone 15 in Europe
The OP states they could not find any eSIM locally and had to go with Airalo which is expensive. Moroccan carriers offer eSIM but not as pre-paid.Marvin said:
The following eSim uses Maroc Telecom, Reddit user says they used it as they had trouble finding something locally:sflagel said:
As of one month ago, not a single local carrier offered pre-paid eSIM at Agadir airport.Marvin said:
There are quite a few companies offering eSim options:kmarei said:what a stupid idea, they obviously haven't done their research
or they think that US, Europe and Australia are the entire world
almost all of africa and asia don't suport esim, including china, russia, indonesia, phillipines ets
neither do some european countres, like turkey etc
so if you do any international travel, you are screwed
unless you want to roam and pay a fortune
guess they don't want to sell phones to about 2 billion people

If they aren't good enough, someone moving internationally can take an inexpensive Android phone or mobile hotspot:

I'd expect eSims to be easier to access than getting a physical card. One obvious downside is needing network access to be able to sign up to the service that gives you network access but a lot of places have open wifi. If someone went to Indonesia, it would probably be easier to use a hotel's wifi to get an eSim than to travel to a local phone store and find a prepay sim.

Well, if the carriers in the 90+ countries that do not have unlimited data roaming agreements with EE offer easy pre-paid eSIM at airports and train stations, the same way that you can now buy pre-paid SIM, then you are correct. But I somehow doubt that this will happen soon. As of one month ago, not a single local carrier offered pre-paid eSIM at Agadir airport.Marvin said:

SIM card trays may disappear from iPhone 15 in Europe
This is terrible. A lot of countries do not have unlimited data roaming agreements with UK carriers. This makes using data abroad prohibitively expensive. Getting a SIM card at the airport to pop into the tray was a super convenient way to keep your phone number (on the eSIM) while using data on a local plan on the physical SIM.According to the Apple website, only 21 countries offer pre-paid eSIM. So 150 countries do not.Taking this away will make travelling a lot more expensive and cumbersome, and keep a lot of people from upgrading.

Mission to find missing AirPods leads to airport worker
Why did the airport employee not just reset the AirPods? All he has to do is push a button in the back. Strange case and so much drama for a pair of AirPods….. emailing every executive jeez.
