They can do that with any smartphone now!...............
Yeah, and guns kill people.
Pffft...
Will now be able to find which couch or seat the TV remote is stuffed into.
How is this different than a Tile. I’ve been using those for years.
I wonder if these could be used in your own car as a cheap car theft tracker. Things like Lojack don’t work outside of bigger cities. Be interested in understanding exactly how they work, type of communication and frequency of communication, whether app alerts could be set on movement.
Air Tags are like Tile tags, which I use. They don’t have GPS, and cannot report back their location on a real-time basis.
If you mark an Airtag as ‘missing’, then other iPhones can report the tag location only if the iPhone is within Bluetooth distance of the Airtag. But Tiles do this as well.
The only worrying part is that with the Apple Airtags, probably EVERU iPhone would participate in locating a ‘lost’ tag, whereas with Tile a user must have the App installed on their phone, which is a much smaller universe of possible ‘informants.’
My first thought, drop it in the trunk of the car to track the kids night out.
Abuse is considered and addressed within the Find My system. Go research the system before criticizing it.
Amazing how many people think long planned highly expensive security systems developed by motivated experts can be defeated by the ignorant with 10 seconds of snark.
The government is developing a mini micro version which can be injected with the next vaccination shot. Never let a good crisis go to waste!
I’m quite sure that DV shelters will quickly begin offering the advice to attach this to the back of a semi if you plan on running.

Why does the left insist on thinking that everyone else is stupid? Asked for the sake of rhetoric, I KNOW the answer.
When was the last time I lost something that would have been valuable enough to me to bother putting a tag on it? Ummmmm…maybe when I was 15 years old. That was a long time ago. Who the heck needs or wants to put little tags on everything they own?
If you want on or off the Apple/Mac/iOS Ping List, Freepmail me.
