Leaker reveals the size of Apple’s AirTags and says they will cost around $ 39

Apple’s rumors that AirTags item trackers will be slightly larger than a 50 cent coin and about three times as thick, based on dimensions provided by leaker Max Weinbach (via YouTube channel EverythingApplePro).

According to Weinbach, the ‌AirTags‌ will come in one size of 32mm x 32mm x 6mm, putting the round devices in the same diameter as a half dollar piece – a bit smaller than Samsung’s Galaxy SmartTags (39mm x 39 mm x 9 mm). ) and slightly larger than a tile sticker (27mm x 7.3mm).

A previous rumor from L0vetodream suggested that Apple would make ‌AirTags‌ available in two formats, but it is not really clear why two formats would be needed.

‌‌AirTags‌‌, based on images found in an internal version of iOS 13, are small, round white tags with an Apple logo on the front. They will likely be attached to items with glue or an attachment point such as a ring, and there can be multiple ways to use them with different items.

According to its retailers, Weinbach says that AirTags is estimated to cost around $ 39 each (Samsung’s SmartTags are $ 29.99). However, when they will be launched, the question remains.

A new “Items” tab enabled by default in the Find My app in the iOS 14.5 beta has sparked some hope that Apple’s highly anticipated ‌AirTags‌ item trackers will finally be released soon. Apple said iOS 14.5 will be released in “early spring”, but a specific release date remains unclear.

Weinbach also believes Apple will announce new products “soon”, either through a press release or some sort of event, although event rumors remain unclear at best. According to a YouTube video by hit-or-miss leaker Jon Prosser, Apple plans to host an event in April this year.

Prosser himself admits that it’s worth treating this April event rumor with some skepticism, as it would be Apple’s first April event in 11 years, but he does say the source he got this from is a perfect track record.

Regardless, Weinbach’s store tells him they expect three new products to appear in the tablets, wearables and accessories categories.

The wearables are “probably” new Apple Watch bands for the season, new colors for the solo treadmills, and possibly a new band style. The rumored new iPad Pro is the new tablet, while ‌AirTagsT will fall into the accessories category.

Volume shipments of mini LED display components for a new 12.9-inch ‌iPad Pro‌ will reportedly begin in the second quarter of 2021, running from April to June. BloombergMark Gurman has previously claimed that Apple plans to announce new iPads as early as April, including new 11-inch and 12.9-inch ‌iPad Pro‌ models.
