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.
Twice I think. I guess it highly depends on where you’re leaving it and how close it is to you. I got one in my wallet which I rarely have on me and that ones draining a lot faster than my keys which I always have with me. Also the more AirTags you have to more you have to swap, so it’s definitely welcome to do that as seldomly as possible.
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.
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.
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.
Just smaller size. Everything else I want is software. Like being able to share the AirTag with someone else, but that should be coming in the next iOS release.
