Reserved........

Malaysia only selling 1 pack of airtag for RM 149

https://www.apple.com/my/shop/buy-airtag/airtag

DOA.

My Samsung Tag is chained to my main key and it never got lost. Chained there adding the bulk of it.

What the different between Samsung tag ?

Why can't they make it with a buildin loop hole? Now you need to buy the keychain loop thingy which cost more than the tag itself. Of course we can wait for 3rd parties ....
Not an elegant design from Apple. Everything is for profits in mind nowadays

if this AirTags able to find my car parking location from 100m away, I will buy it

1 pack consist How many tag??

Apple is following Samsung Smarttag

Interesting, though I don't see much use for myself yet.

Will definitely buy the 4 pack if it is available here.
1 pack for RM149, come on..

Hope Spigen can came up with rugged accessories

Only iPhone 11 and 12 can make use of this thing right because they also have U1 chip? Older iPhones?

yes due to the chip, iPhone 11 or newer

one piece

Samsung smarttag (probably + version), I watch YouTuber review seems can two way, can press the button on tag to find phone, seems AirTag cannot

gonna buy Apple AirTags and put them on my bank account to see where my money went

got 1 only.

bolehland does not have the option for multiple in one pack.

lion city has it.

only phone older than 6s cannot work totally becos no iOS 14.

Precision Finding is compatible with iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max.

I've been thinking of this too, this would be super amazing!

I've lost count how many times I forgot where I parked my car in a shopping mall

149 is a steep price, but the fact that the battery is user replaceable, that alone makes AirTag super valuable and probably can last over 5 years

but.. this AT using bluetooth. Even in different floor, the bluetooth can't support... i hope AT BT more powerfull then normal BT.

150 bucks for forgetful people? No thanks.

I think those who compare Samsung SmartTag and Apple AirTag, doesnt seem to realize how much smaller the AirTag is. I hope it will fit comfortably in a men's wallet

So one exciting thing about this AirTag is probably "how accurate" its going to identify its location. All Apple devices that passes by your AirTag will help mark location of your AirTag.

"all these devices are used to create the Find My network—hundreds of millions of Apple devices that all register the locations of your items whenever they pass within Bluetooth range."

Guess this is similar to Samsung's but lets see

Meh.. never needed it..wont need it..

I doubt we can rely on our own iPhones to detect the AT, probably UWB band gives better signal than BT? idk
Instead we will leverage on the Apple network which is formed by other people's iPhones

Finger crossed that "it just works"

--
I dont have UWB supported iPhones
I'm hoping that Apple Watch 6 can be used for searching instead since it has UWB

actually i dun find the need for myself buying this yet. maybe wait for it to be officially out and see the reviews for any potential good use cases.

I just learn this, AT will only seek help from others Iphone when we set it to Lost Mode.
then, any nearest Iphone will notice it and send the information to the owner.

So most of the use case, we need to set it on Lost Mode to get AT location.
hm. okay. now make sense. when im thinking back, ya, this is why i need this.

if not mistaken Samsung Smarttag+ only BT, Samsung Smarttag+ and Apple AirTag use UWB and BT, so only Smarttag+ is comparable with AirTag

Samsung Smarttag+ ~USD39.9, 40.9mm diameter, 9.9mm height, 14g
Apple AirTag USD29, 31.9mm diameter, 8.0mm height, 11g
8mm already thicker than my iPhone 12pro

although I am not forgetful, will get one AirTag when Malaysia available

Not only bluetooth, it also use UWB, UWB range is around 80m.

How does this work? Can I hide one in my car and track location in case it get's stolen?

Another consumer product will go into history: Vehicle GPS system...

https://www.lazada.com.my/catalog/?q=bike+g....121e6ff2PFHT4w

Yes, buy one and throw inside your car. No installation and installing stupid app are needed.

You misunderstand how it works. All iPhones in the world running iOS14 will anonymously broadcast the location. As long as someone with iPhone is nearby your AT it will get posted to the cloud.

Not true as in some countries you need GPS log to claim tax relief. They verify number of km driven. Also the logs are for truck owners to see how long their drivers rest or whether their truck pumped petrol at incorrect location (don't remember the scam but drivers were stealing petrol)

oh shit there's a plus model?

As a professional stalker I'm very happy to have Airtag now..

Stalking never been easier...

1. stalk_linda
2. stalk_viet_girl_1
3. stalk_viet_girl_2
4. stalk_lily
5. stalk_merinda

Oh almost forgot... need to put in my girlfriends cars too. Having and managing girlfriends never been this easy before...

sorry typo, Samsung Smarttag only BT, the Smarttag+ utilize BT and UWB which is similar with AirTag

no geo restricted right?
4 pack more worth.. like buy 3 free 1

not country locked la haha.

This tag is just use for track where did you put your key. Sometimes I go out from house, the moment when I get into car, I was noticed that I forgot to bring my keys, alarm and autogate remote. So I go back into house to find, go to living room not found, go to dining room not found, finally I found it on the washing machine in kitchen.

I want buy AirTag and attached with my TV remote control. Everyday cannot find it. Hahaha

I will buy one for my key, haha!

It will be good for family members with Alzheimer's Disease.

may be can use it to locate where u park your car in the mall...

in lion city, can buy 1 pack of 4 and co-share with others. haha.

Is this even possible?

Because typical GPS remote sensing device require at least 2G signal like using your old dumbphone and transmit data.

So does this airTag work with similar concept?

If so, instant buy for me!

AirTags do not have GPS, it uses crowd iPhone GPS via bluetooth to locate its location.

AirTags also uses UWB for precocious location.

Will buy one if i reach 60.

After viewing the hands-on on YT, AirTag seems better than Samsung implementation. Just the price though.

the price a bit high for my preference.

apple always did the right thing instead of fighting to be the first mover.

A China YouTuber has demoed the workability in indoor parking lot to locate his car.

AirTag’s pricing is cheap after all comparing to competitors. Especially if you buy a pack of 4. Haha.

https://9to5mac.com/2021/04/21/airtag-prici...t50QeEdUyIPvPKU

Ultra Wide Bandwidth? Effective range is up to 25 meters only.

So let say if my car is stolen and it’s 5km away, still this airTag wouldn’t be able to track my car last location?

I think this airTag is more like locating nearby items only

I think u did not read the details about how it works at all.

FindMy app can locate ur device no matter where it is. Same like ur iPhone, the U1 chip can do precision finding where you are really near to the air tag from ur iPhone.

If the AirTag more than your iphone Bluetooth range, it will auto connect to other people i-devices and this i-devices will update the AirTag location to Apple server, from that you able know location of you AirTag.

The hidden cost is buying the loop for it. But having massive iPhone (iPad) that can communicate and report back the device? That's massive advantage over competitors like Tile.

Apple Msia not having 4 in a pack? Very bad idea....

My only gripe about AirTags is the thickness of it, can't put into a wallet - which is so important to me.

Keys, perhaps so but man - a wallet version would've been perfect like Tiles.

the Tile version for wallet, is a non-replaceable battery so it's some challenges. But i'm thinking Apple will release more products tiers within AirTags. Even AirPod also have orig and Pro version.

Yup defo, that form factor you can fit in a replaceable battery. But still wishful thinking of a two tier version as well.

Plenty of cheap loop on Taobao. I am sure you can get it on Shopee as well.

Yeah seems like no 4 in a pack from Apple Malaysia.

Good guess.. Apple probably doing that. Pro version.

If apple doesn’t is really a missed opportunity.


Yes agreed. But my point was “hidden cost”. Not a big deal but a hidden cost nonetheless. But with Apple network, it’s a game changer.

Switch mentioned that it is due to Sirim requirements, only single pack will be available

Buy from Amazon US and ship back here using forwarding. Still cheaper

after out of charge, how to recharge? or is it using battery?

I suppose it depends on what kind of wallet you like to use.

If you like a slim wallet, definitely not but if you don't mind a thick wallet, I think it can be done.

Defo not a thick wallet guy, my wallet is a small + slim profile. Thick wallet can't fit into skinny jeans

That’s pretty sad.

What’s the most efficient way to do this in your experience? Which forwarder?

What kind of requirements?

I prefer 4 in a pack as it is cheaper than buying single tag x 4

They didn’t go specific on that, only mentioned Sirim requirements. Yeah, it’s like buy 3 free 1 for the pack version

Wonder when is AirTag coming here, pretty excited about it.

Just wait "Super Deal" in Shopee/Lazada bring the product to Malaysia.

buying one is quite lugi. 4 in a pack can shared easily among 4 person for the price that is less than single pack.

seems like airtags do not have the function, if the airtags is away from ur iphone then it will alert u kind of function rite?

same. I'll definitely buy from day 1 launch. I''m pretty paranoid with my car key.

Hi bro , mind to share which forwarder u using now ? Was using ezbuy last time , but they no longer support USA anymore

i doubt the range of the connection due using bluetooth !

Try MyUS.com. I've been using them for some time. No issues.

Superdeal already brought in stocks for AirTags, priced the same as retail.. but you don’t have a case / holder for it 🤣

*Update: Bought 1 unit from Shopee with a cheapo silicone holder that is available locally to test out, should be able to get it by next week.

If just Bluetooth tech then it's pretty useless. But it uses other iPhone's nearby and registers the location to Apple's DB that the owner can access making it a whole lot more useful. That's why Apple pushed out the latest update to include this feature. Now if Android can implement the same thing then we don't have to depend on Apple locked in garden tech.

Anyone wants to group buy AirTags 4 packs? I can get it in around 2 weeks time for RM530+ local shipping.
Getting two more packs for a friend.

My Airtag on the way

Just received my AirTags hahah love the engraving.

HK version?

HK too long already. Getting from China instead :/

u still have the stock for pack of 4?

Can give a short review? I am excited and planing to get as well

Mine.

I think it’s fun to have and the ultra and features only work when you are very close (not good for finding car in parking lot for example) and only shows direction at around 3m but can connect at around 6m with a wall in between.
The ping sound feature is surprisingly loud and clear and I can even hear it when the door is closed from the outside.
I think it’s great to have to tag on everyday items, but definitely not for cars

Yup I got three extra 4 packs. You can Pm me if you interested.

Let me know if you have ready stocks?

Ready stocks?

nice. where did u buy the case?

Bought from Taobao haha RM6 LOL chose the cheapest one available

AirTags arrived! Thanks kokhoong0624 👍🏻

I just got one key ring at the moment, will need to find 3 more now.
