Not a bad price, but it does require an existing Airtag.

Ten years is a very long time in tech. I wouldn't be confident that the Airtag protocol will be functioning in 2035, and there are already rumors of a new Airtag and possibly a newer protocol coming up.

If Apple kills existing Airtags any time soon they effectively kill the product line. So they won’t.

This might underestimate Apple consumerism (I include myself in that).
