Unchanged Pricing And Design
Despite the upgrades, Apple has kept the AirTag’s design and pricing consistent in India, ensuring accessibility for a wide range of users.
Broader Context:
Since its initial launch in 2021, AirTag has become a popular accessory worldwide, helping users recover lost luggage, keys, bicycles, and more. The updated version builds on this success, offering Indian consumers a more robust and user-friendly experience.
