Compared: Apple AirTag vs Tile Pro and Chipolo One Spot
Why are you limiting counter arguments to exclude esthetics? And to answer your question, yes they could have designed an AirTag with an attachment point that might or might not work with your keyring (for instance my Jeep key fob doesn’t fit my keyring well) but they didn’t. And third party vendors will provide solutions which combined with the AirTag total less than the single Tile price.beowulfschmidt said:The only irritant I have so far with what I currently know about AirTags is the lack of any way to attach them to stuff without buying another accessory. This makes AirTags effectively more expensive than the other options for for even some trivial use cases, like attaching to a keychain.
You cannot convince me that Apple couldn't have designed this device with an attachment point, especially with the example of the others having actually done so. That makes this is a deliberate design decision, and the cynical part of me says that it's precisely to encourage the purchase of accessories.
And for those who going to wax eloquent about "esthetics", that's a distraction.

They are not queso proof but can last 30 minutes submersed in guacamole.dewme said:
My pocket computers from the 1980s all use CR2032 batteries. The 2nd generation Ring door/window sensors now use the CR2032 batteries instead of the much larger CR123A. The good news is that the CR2032 batteries are very easy to find and are inexpensive.daniPhone said:“All three models are powered by a CR2032 coin cell battery, one typically used in watches”I’ve owned dozens of watches, but never have I seen or heard of a watch carrying a CR2032 battery.They’re huge!
Important question: Can you get guacamole and extra queso on the Chipolo tags?

Agreed. Even if someone didn’t want to steal you bag they might be inclined to take the AirTag.GG1 said:I'll probably get a few AirTags once I start traveling again, but I'm surprised at how visible people want to make this item. Wouldn't the effectiveness be improved if other people didn't know you had this tracker attached to your item? I would bury an AirTag inside the item, such as luggage. Yes, I realize some items are too small (such as keys), so I'd use a nondescript cover in this case.But I realize I'm more practical/functional than fashionable. -
Apple 'pushes the envelope' with iPad Pro say executives
I wonder how Apple will differentiate the M1 iPadOS that is guaranteed a minimum of 8G memory with all the older iPads that they still need to support? Software wise it could be done but it will be interesting to see how Apple will communicate the differences between iPadOS on the entry level iPad vs the iPadOS on the new iPad Pro. That’s assuming there will be different features available only on the M1 and/or 8G iPads.

It’s thinker AND heavier. Also, no authoritative source has said the old keyboard is incomparable.Hank2.0 said:
Too bad they didn't explain why they made the change that made the current Magic Keyboard incompatible, effectively making upgraders to spend another $349. Yes, I understand that the case of the new iPad Pro is thicker, but no one could figure out to compensate for A HALF-MILLIMETER difference?Apple's updated iPad Pro has enjoyed a number of changes for 2021, including the use of mini LED backlighting to create the Liquid Retina XDR display in the 12.9-inch model, and a change in processor to the M1. In a follow-up interview about the changes, Greg Joswiak and John Ternus discussed why Apple made those changes.
