    Geeky One Apple product I might just buy

    AirTag helps man discover lost luggage graveyard in airline offices

    After an airline failed to find his lost luggage, a YouTuber used his AirTags to go straight to it in an airport office filled with unclaimed bags.

    Apple's AirTags have helped with lost luggage before, and there are plenty of luggage tags now designed to hold them. But for Australian YouTuber Shane Miller, an AirTag not only found his missing bags, it did so despite the airport's baggage carrier, Swissport.

    Miller says that the luggage, containing $4,500 worth of cycling equipment, went missing after he flew in to Melbourne Airport on Singapore Airlines. Officials told him his luggage hadn't made the connecting flight, and he would be contacted as soon as it arrived.

    Once the bags had arrived at the airport, Miller's AirTags reported their location to him and he expected to hear from the officials. However, Swissport failed to contact him — and he was unable to reach anyone despite many phone calls.

    That's pretty good return on a $39 product... actually surprising Apple isn't charging more for them

    Friend of mine has a dog collar with a holder for one. Honestly it seems better than most of the scammy dog GPS product out there that all require expensive monthly subscriptions. As long as the dog is within distance of other iPhone users (which is most of the time in the city), you'd be able to locate them if they somehow got away from you.
