I set out a few weeks ago to compile a list of all items with certified Find My. Friends, I thought it would number between 20 and 30 items. It started to become unmanageable, so I built a site—FindYourTag—both for my own reference and because why not share it?

Apple’s absence is good news for third parties, because 14 different companies make a total of 18 wallet-insertable cards. […] About half are rechargeable, though most of those require a unique magnetically coupled adapter that you are sure to lose unless you have a special place you keep odd adapters. Other cards advertise long battery life (two to three years) and have a discount program on replacing after that point if you return the battery for recycling.
[…]
Finding out that Twelve South has a line of four different PlugBug models with Find My built in made me wonder why Apple doesn’t include Find My as a default feature on its adapters?
[…]
Satechi has the right idea here with its FindAll Glasses Case ($50). I left my distance glasses somewhere in the greater Boston area in March, and, wow, is replacing your glasses with prescription, transition lenses expensive.

But wouldn’t it be better if you had Find My as part of the vehicle, making it effectively unremovable without destroying the bike or scooter? Several manufacturers agree. You can find Apollo, Segway, Specialized, and Velotric models with just that.

My favorite picks were the oddballs, the products that weren’t Macs, iPhones, iPads, iPods, or Apple IIs. In other words: the accessories. I was particularly pleased with Jason’s picks of the LaserWriter, the Apple Disk II, the Apple Watch Sport Band, and the second generation Apple Pencil.

My oddball entry would have been the AirPort Express. This is not in the “I can’t believe you didn’t pick” category because it’s an oddball even among oddballs, but for a short period of time for a specific subset of users, it was a great accessory.
The AirPort Express was great. The other accessories I’d highlight are the ImageWriter II and the original aluminum keyboard.

Joanna Stern chose to use the first post-announcement post on her new site to return to a familiar issue that remains unresolved:
Here’s my main question: John Ternus, can you turn-us the iPhone autocorrect around?
[…]
Over the last few months, I’ve noticed more autocorrect mishaps on my iPhone 17 Pro. And I’m not alone. (I’ve also had some nasty battery drain after recent iOS 26 updates, but that’s another story for another time.) Plenty of people have complained to me about autocorrect problems. And I see the folks I’m texting with quickly correcting messages because their iPhone mangled the message.
To be fair, Apple addressed part of the problem in iOS 26.4. I’ll get to that below. But to suggest iPhone autocorrect is now fixed—or works as well as it once did—is like suggesting Siri is a genius.
Alas, New Things has no RSS feed.
