The new special edition AirTags are nice. Would have been good if it were offered while purchasing any Apple product and not just the iPhone 15/14 or the SE.

Hold on a second: when people find out they can't disable the speakers in the new AirTags, the "outdated" ones will be selling at a premium on eBay. I have 4 spare ones, and I'll sell them to you right now for $100/each!
I have some beachfront property I’ll sell you for $1M.
