The second-gen AirTags are a scatterbrain’s best friend
The second-gen AirTags are a scatterbrain's best friend The biggest con is this so-called Midnight Purple keyring is barely purple. It’s the iPhone 14 Pro Max Deep Purple all over again. In a somewhat controversial Vergecast episode, I declared that AirTags are a superior product to iPads. The iPad lovers roasted me across social media. […]

It took way too long, but Roland finally caved and gave the people what they want: a proper analog successor to the iconic TR-808 drum machine.
