    Airtag for Checked Bags

    Hello All! I am looking to mount an AirTag on an electric scooter somewhere out of sight. The catch is, I think the only way to attach it would be with an adhesive mount.

    Question about AirTag and three-day beeping

    I understand that an AirTag will beep in three days when away from its owner and moved. But what if there are no iDevices around? How does it know it’s been moved?

    We've had an AirTag on our dog now for a few weeks and wanted to report back the pros and cons of using AirTags in this way.

    AirTag owner modifies case to make a thin, wallet-sized version

    Take a look at this video for those who are into electronics and tinkering. Just be careful as the PCB is fragile, he broke off the power button in the procss and had to solder it back on. Cool though that it can be done.

    Is it possible to replace the AirTag cover?

    In this case i am talking about the AirTag battery cover made out of metal/aluminium. I know that you can place a skin on it but how about replacing the entire battery cover with a different AirTag’s cover or a completely different cover with a similar locking mechanism and battery connector?

    Why does my iPhone need light to find my AirTag?

    When locating an AirTag you can see a blurred camera view in the background. It doesn’t appear that you can find using an AR style feature so why would it say “More light required”?
