The Apple AirTag has only been out in the world for a week, but it has already had its fair share of problems, from scratching to stalking But one YouTuber decided the gadget was too thick for his wallet, and the AirTag card was born

The AirTag's 8mm thickness makes it difficult to fit the tracker in with the card Unless the whole thing is disassembled and the parts rearrangedAirTag (re)assembled!

Andrew Ngai set himself the task of disassembling his AirTag and reassembling the parts into a wallet-ready card without the unsightly bulge 10-minute video might make you want to try it yourself, but Ngai warns that it is not for the average user Ngai warns that it's not for the average user Some of the components on the PCB [printed circuit board] are really delicate I broke a power connector once It wasn't fun

"But if you want to recreate it, you can refer to my video to see what I did wrong and what to expect"

In his quest to recast the AirTag in a thinner form factor, Guy gave up prying the PCB from the plastic shell He had to resort to heating it to 150 degrees Fahrenheit (65 degrees Celsius) to soften the adhesive and remove the PCB

Since the circuit board and battery are stacked inside the AirTag, by splitting them up and laying them side by side, Guy was able to significantly reduce its thickness Additionally, he has demonstrated that it fits neatly into a wallet in its new state

As he points out, this is not for the faint of heart, having just paid $29/£29/$45 Australian for AirTag But if you have experience with this sort of thing, or are willing to spend money on something new even if it fails to work, then you can decide if it's worth the risk
