The specialist in dissecting electronics was impressed by the size of the accessory: it is the smallest on the market so far, compared to Samsung’s Smart Tags and Tile.

IFixit only encountered one major problem: outside the protective packaging, AirTags are simply a sealed disc, without a keyhole, for example.
Using a special drill, the specialist himself showed how easy it is to create your own hole in the device without damaging it, reinforcing that the procedure must be done at the user’s own risk.
