Cool idea for a product but you either have to be a serious airhead or just lazy to miss or ignore all the low battery notifications. Also, that case should have a spot to store the back plate.

> Just discard the AirTag's back plate

But when you have 4 -- and I bet people have more -- it does get a bit boring having to switch them out. It's no longer an annual event, it's now quarterly.

I mean, first-world problem. But if it could be less frequent, of course I'd take it.

I have about 8. They used to run low at the same-ish time frame, but over time they drift apart due to frequency of moving around. (e.g.: the AirTag in my luggage runs out months after the one in my wallet)
