The exact gift card values for each eligible product are as follows:

  • ¥6,000 for iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, or iPhone SE (plus a limited-edition AirTag for the first 20,000 customers who place an order)

Apple has shared full terms and conditions for the promotion with more details. Notably, iPhone orders placed through the Apple Store app will not qualify for a limited-edition AirTag for reasons unclear, so make sure to order through Apple's online store.

That's only if you're using it to stalk someone or follow them back home to steal their car.

If you use it for your keys, luggage, kid(s), etc., then it will be seen. That's why Apple has a keyring, luggage tag, and other accessories (like the $300 AirTag Hermès Bag Charm ? ) for it.
