Should You Engrave Your Apple Devices?
From innovative hardware to boutique stores, Apple is famous for creating personalized customer experiences. In fact, Apple has even given us a unique option to make sure our devices are truly one of a kind through custom engraving.
When buying some devices on the official Apple online store, Apple gives you the option to engrave your device at checkout for free. But, should you take this option?
How Does Apple Engraving Work?
Apple devices are engraved using high-powered laser engravers in the manufacturing facilities, which is why this option is only available for the online Apple store. Here are all the devices that Apple currently offers free engraving for:
Apple Pencil (2nd generation)
iPad (all models)
iPod touch
AirPods
If you wonder why iPhones and MacBooks are not on this list, there are two possible reasons: device material and demand.
Some Apple devices are made from glass, such as the iPhone 12, which is harder to engrave than plastic or metal. Similarly, other devices are likely to have far lower engraving demand, like the iMac, or may simply be too inconvenient to efficiently engrave on a large scale.
What Can You Engrave on Your Apple Device?
Apple lets you engrave a combination of numbers, letters, or symbols. For AirPods lovers, Apple even allows users to engrave cases with emojis.
There are 30 emojis available for engraving. These include a fist bump, robot, alien, unicorn, all the zodiac animals, and even the poop emoji. In comparison to regular characters, emojis are engraved in a larger font.
The number of characters you can engrave varies for each Apple device. For iPads, Apple lets users add up to 34 characters per line. The second-generation Apple Pencils can only be engraved with up to 15 characters.
With these options, it’s no wonder that so many people have decided to engrave their Apple devices. But, why exactly do they do it?
The Pros of Engraving Your Apple Device
There is a reason why Apple continues to offer engraving options for free. Here are some of the biggest pros to engraving your Apple devices.
Personalization
In an age of mass production, personalization is a way for you to be a little more unique. With thousands of iPads on the market, many Apple lovers enjoy standing out from their peers.
Whether it’s writing a nickname or a funny quote, showing a little personality with an engraving is a great way to differentiate yourself.
Gifting
Sometimes, you need to remind people why they should thankful to have you around. Gifting an engraved Apple device is one way to make sure that they always remember you.
For many generous gift givers, remarkable moments can only be made better with a customized engraving.
Avoid Mixing Up Devices
When it comes to Apple-loving households or offices, mix-ups for small things like AirPods or Apple Pencils happen a lot. In fact, if you haven't customized your cases, there’s a chance that you may not be able to tell which device is yours.
