Dude, coin cell batteries last for years if your don’t take them out of their packaging… buy a couple to have on hand, then when you get low battery alert just replace the spares… what kind of tech channel is this you can’t handle changing a battery
@@homosapien6031 you can always buy a charger for coin cell batteries. You should do this with all "disposable" batteries as it's cheaper and less wasteful.
@@evilutionltdit would probably make the AirTag thicker since they need to integrate a wireless charging coil (+ the magnetic stuff) and probably to compensate for the increased thickness battery volume would be brought down much. So it would have only a tiny battery and you’d be constantly charging it
@@marekdgit could have a usbc port which wouldn’t take up much space, plus lithium batteries have a higher capacity per size, plus you wouldn’t need the excessive metal packaging on replaceable batteries so you would actually save space
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought this when he mentioned they’re in the red on the AirTags themselves. I can see them costing no more than $10 to manufacture at scale
Don’t get me wrong I love buying in bulk too but kinda defeats the purpose of buying an AirTag and that battery randomly giving out at the worst time right when you need it
I agree pretty much with everything you say but you don’t have time to replace a battery is a step too far. Pack of 10 on Amazon is less than $10, which takes 10 seconds to order and then to swap a battery once a year is less than 30 seconds! Would have edited that bit out if it was me! Cringe!
There was a rumored AR find my feature when the U1 chip first came out: A balloon overlay to show where the AirTag is opposed to just the directional arrow tracking. That would be cool to see
My guess is they tie the speaker wiring with power to cause it to stop working if you cut the speaker wire. Prob have the chip cut power if it loses signal from the speaker wire.
All I want is a key ring hole and for it to recharge on an Apple Watch charger. If they mess with the speaker on the 2, the stalkers will just continue to use the 1's.
Did you see the new elevationlab product that lets you use double A batteries for the AirTag and it lasts 10 years? Looks pretty neat, I’m hoping to try one out.
They should make it so police is notified and gets the location of an item if you report it stolen so you can’t stalk people while also stopping thieves
Drew lol. You never go to a Target, Walmart, grocery store or shop online? Those batteries last a very long time in their packaging. Not hard at all to buy a pack on Amazon and keep around for a few years in drawer. It really is another level of lazy if you can’t be bothered to pick up some batteries while already shopping. Haha.
I have AirTags on my two dogs’ collars and a few of my key rings, and when the stock batteries died I bought a cheap pack of like 20 of the batteries on Amazon and they last like maybe a month before I’m getting constant notifications that the batteries are low and need to be replaced. Moral of the story you get what you pay for I guess. Rechargeable AirTags would be a major W for sure.
Airtags are kinda the perfect Apple product: it's designed to be harmless so it's also useless, it's very cheap to make but people will pay 30$ for it, they engineered it to be cute but harder to use without accessories. Absolutely perfect in it's execution: everybody is so distracted thinking about it's potential use as a device that they forget to ask themselves if they actually need it. Typical Apple: create a problem in the mind of it's customers, so that they buy their "solution"
The tracking is mid. Compus feature only works half the time. Usually has a hard time connecting and being located in the first place. I have 4 and have used them many times, you deff cant rely on them
I agree to an extent that we all got bigger things to worry about in our daily lives that keeps up preoccupied but c’mon Drew… how hard is it to carve out 3-5mins out of your day to quickly Amazon coin cell batteries (especially with next day delivery)
@@evilutionltd1 CR2032 battery a year is not that much of a waste. Especially if recycled correctly. (Their are probably a lot more batteries wasted + wrongly thrown away by the low quality budget type of impulsively bought gadgets) And for recharging to work they need to add a coil into the AirTag. Making it much thicker or having a small insufficient battery
Maybe they could do the lanyard holes like AirPods 2? I’ve never seen a single person use that feature in real life, but probably could fit a small key ring if you try
Typical Apple, updating products frequently that don’t need updated while simultaneously neglecting other products for half a decade 😂 e.g. mac pro, air pods max
I think if something is reported stolen, i.e. I create a link for law enforcement, or airlines, or whatever... then it shouldn't chirp. It should only chirp if I'm trying to find it. IMHO to have such decreased functionality because it is used by a percentage for stalking doesn't seem fair to the large majority of users.
The battery lasts a year. You buy an 8 pack coin cell when you go to the grocery, and you dont have to buy batteries in 7 to 8 years. How is that a hassle?
I find it difficult to get the back off to change the battery. I would prefer, as you say rechargeable, perhaps in a little case like the AirPods case that you could have say 4-6 tags inside all charging from the case. Easy to swap them over.
Apple Please create a credit card-sized version, as well as one that integrates seamlessly with the Apple MagSafe wallet. The MagSafe wallet should include a more reliable “Find My” feature and be powered through bidirectional charging for added convenience.
The AirTags need a button on it so I can click the button to find my Apple Watch or my AirPods or my iPhone if I can’t find them and they should come in a lot of different colors like the iMac or the iPhone
Don’t spoil what happened to the AirTag in Squid Game 2. Gi-hun should have known that no matter where he puts it, the Front Man is just too smart for him!
@@T10107A rechargeable lithium battery would last significantly less than the existing button cell batteries inside. Not to mention the cost would be much higher having a charging module inside.
@@Sponch1 That’s fine! It’s Apple we’re talking about. Overcharging is kind of their thing. But to be fair, convenience is a huge selling point for a lot of Apple users.
@@T10107 So you want to to cost double the price, and now you have to remove it from wherever it's placed and recharge it once every few weeks. Not to mention the cost of a special wireless charger. Instead of swapping out the battery once a year?
Totally disagree on the rechargeable battery, I rather have a replaceable long lasting battery than having to charge one more device. It’s already too much of devices to charge don’t want to worry about another one. I’m still using the first gen Magic Mouse for that reason lol it looked like a downgrade tbh 😂
The interesting thing is if you lose your iphone you have to use 2 step verification on your iphone So you have access your phone which is either lost or stolen to follow the 2 step verification process Airtags are useful products , a rechargeable airtag is a good idea As people would rather buy a new one that a battery on amazon Are you doing a review of all your product predictions that you made last year Why is it there is no bezelees imac or rollable imac with a mechanical keyboard and a mouse that works Are apple going to get rid of the notch on the iphone this next year and get things like reversible charging and faster charging and get rid of the camera bump like the redmi pro did I am interested in ces would it be an average boring year or would we actually see some major tech this year Will we ever get truly wireless phone tech like linus showed with the electric train set being powered by a light Will the iPad get a true power saving mode , there is so much tech that needs upgrading
How lazy do people have to be today to replace a little battery in a AirTag 🤦♂️ Every new things that Apple does is pointless now according to drew. Even though the new AirTag will have more security features and U chip will have higher range. I rarely use my AirTags but I have one in my wallet, car, and kids backpacks. It will alert me if I forget my wallet at a store or at home and I’ve used it on my AirPods a handful of times. The channel seems to have ran out of things to talk about and honestly should be retired. Always the same old thing
Drew you complain a lot. Especially about the batteries in the current AirTags. It’s perfect. I wouldn’t want a rechargeable battery, the current solution is perfect. Also from my use cases the batteries have lasted over a year, 1.5 years on average for me. The ones in my cars even longer.

Evidently very difficult 😂
Difficulty is not the issue. Tell me what a changeable battery has over a sealed rechargeable one.

@brianhecimovich4488 And likely much, Much less.
A credit card size.
pls
Nomad has that already, and it works with the Find My network. I have one in my wallet right now. 10/10.
Yes please
How hard is it to go on amazon and buy like 50 batteries and keep them somewhere safe so you never have to go and buy a new battery
Exactly what I did, got em real cheap as a 50 pack aswell.
Don’t get me wrong I love buying in bulk too but kinda defeats the purpose of buying an AirTag and that battery randomly giving out at the worst time right when you need it
Thanks for reminding me that I have an AirTag battery to replace
That impression takes so much vocal and facial effort, it’d just be quicker to say : “Welcome back. I hate Tim Cook.”

Didn't Apple & Google roll out a feature that tells you if you're being tracked anyway?
There was a rumored AR find my feature when the U1 chip first came out: A balloon overlay to show where the AirTag is opposed to just the directional arrow tracking. That would be cool to see
I would like to see an AirTag that is much thinner and a hole for keyring
The easy solution is to tie the speaker to the function of the AirTag. If the speaker stops working, it stops sending location.
My guess is they tie the speaker wiring with power to cause it to stop working if you cut the speaker wire. Prob have the chip cut power if it loses signal from the speaker wire.
Yeah, what about when it comes to replacing the rechargeable battery will cost £100 just for a replacement 😂
Definitely better to stick with batteries that are easily replaceable
If you’re too lazy to go to a jewellers ONCE A YEAR to get a new battery, then you need to sort your life out 🤦🏻♂️🤣

Finding a coin cell is super easy. And you can just order it if you’re that pressed for time.
If you are remotely into tech then how in the heck do you not have those batteries? That tells a lot..

Air tags should be able to be used to find your phone. Both Tile and Samsungs trackers can do this.
iPhones already can be found using other Apple devices.

I don't. There are already accessories that do exactly that. Everybody uses AirTags different. The perfectly circular shape is perfect.
I'm glad I haven't noticed any bots in the comments.
