The best and probably the easiest free way to customize your Apple products is by taking advantage of the free engraving option while purchasing any Apple product on the Apple website itself. Let’s talk about the advantages and disadvantages of engraving a device.

Advantages

  • Personalization: the only reason why you want to make your device look an edge better than other devices and it can be done for free as well.
  • Avoiding confusions: if you’ve got a group of friends who own the same devices as you, the services do land in a mix up at times. having a small mark of identification helps to avoid the mix-up.

Disadvantages

  • Slower device delivery: Since your device will be getting engraved, you can expect your device to ship a few days late as compared to its original shipping date.
  • Resale value: well any device for that matter has any kind of marks or scuffs loses its value. The same can be said about engraved devices. Nobody would want to buy a device with identification marks of some else.
