Interesting! I would have thought that Apple would add some sort of tamper-proof hardware authentication mechanism, given how expensive and privacy-sensitive AirTags are.

They opened it up to avoid anti-trust issues.

This sounds awesome - got a link?

Interesting. Although your link is 11.70$ with 50% off for me, but if you search for “find my Apple” you get many more results with lots of options around 5$

They seem to come up in the home page deals section quite often for me. I grabbed a couple that were $3.50 a pop, and so far they've behaved exactly like an Airtag (albeit with a worse speaker)

Neat. Are they also water resistant (splashes/rain)?

That link is less than 2usd (1.62chf) for me. I’ll never understand Ali’s pricing.

fyi: apparently that's only a welcome (e.g., first-time user) offer. As soon as I logged in, it changed the price to ~11usd per piece.

Yeah, typical aliexpress misleading BS. I have yet to buy something on AE and 1. Pay the price initially shown (it’s always more) 2. Actually use one of the dozens of coupons it assaults me with every time I open the app.
