Apple ID Chips? any use?

[Zero Cool]

I have a bunch of left over Apple ID chips from a place i used to work. they are used to enable the digital output and presumably other functions. I have zero info on them. I have no idea how they work or any sort of info other than what they are. would anyone have any use for them before i just toss them out?

So these are not Air Tags?

I am not sure what an air tag is. these are IC's some specific IC that tells an apple device to turn on the digital output. they were used in a DAC

When you punch in Apple ID chips, it takes you to Air Tags. They are a locator device.

i understand, that is not what these are. Not sure what to call them. apple authentication chips is maybe better?

I'm surprised that Apple allows you to give them away. They tend to be pretty restrictive.

what they don't know wont hurt them! these are for experimentation use. I have maybe 10 or 12 of them I think

Apple MFi ic's apparently these are called.
