> If the AirTag in its minimal form wasn't so teardrop-shaped I'm a little confused by this, aren't AirTag basically circular discs pretty much just big enough to house a CRT2032 battery? Form factor wise they don't look teardrop shaped at all in the pictures? I don't have one so could just be missing something obvious here. |

Kind of. It's definitely the intention, but an AirTag is still considerably larger than the CR2032 within it [1], so they're not at a shortage of space in the shell.
As for "teardrop shape", I didn't mean to imply it had an elongated shape, but that it's rounded off on all sides, like a drop of liquid. The absence of any defined edges makes clip design harder and forces any AirTag enclosure to just act as a mini-pocket that contains the whole thing instead of having a simpler and less wasteful attachment method.
