The iPhone was never meant to have an app library but here we are.
Just because Apple didn't intend a specific use does not invalidate it.
And I just bought a collar with an insert for one. It's one of two uses I can think of for them
Does anyone have a good breakdown of when the sound/speaker plays?
It's confusing to me because even if you're just sticking it on luggage wouldn't that thing be going off all the time? Or how does it decide it's being inappropriately used for tracking?
Is it looking for proximity to a specific iphone for X amount of hours?
I understand they want to stop stalking but it just seems like for even normal uses that speaker would ALWAYS be going off.

What brand?Dollar General has $8 clones that work with Find My
4 years for what appears to be an iterative upgrade. What about a audible volume this time? Just to make this thing functional in most of the cases.
amazon has $3 ones, not sure what that has to do with anything. no UWB.Dollar General has $8 clones that work with Find My
meh. a cr2023 lasts a year. would suck to 'need to charge it' when you need it most.
who said non replaceable?
bye bye battery life, also, cellular data, like freedom, aint free.
Not to worry, friend, because Apple will be announcing the ALL NEW AirTag Pro. The ALL NEW AirTag Pro is the fastest, most powerful, AirTag that Apple has ever released. And this year, Apple is taking the AirTag Pro to the next level with the ALL NEW AT2 Pro SiP, the fastest, most powerful AirTag SiP that Apple has ever released in an AirTag, allowing for best-in-class tracking and EVEN BETTER, industry-leading battery life. This is the AirTag pro for pros!
Better sound and range would be cool. I find it hard to find something when pinging it. I do have them on everything
That happened to me.. I was taking a rail box to the rail yard and I got the notification that a airtag was following me
RE: Notifications
I haven't flown anywhere in a few years... but I have a trip next month for the holidays.
If I'm on an airplane with 300 people... there's a good chance many of them will have AirTags in their luggage or carry-ons.
Will I be bombarded with "an AirTag is following you" notifications during the trip?
🤔

A bit unfortunate that it’ll still use a coin cell battery. A rechargeable version (perhaps compatible with an Apple Watch charger?) would be safer and less wasteful.
But it would increase costs, no doubt, and I guess Apple wants to keep the AirTag affordable.

In my experience, no. The AirTag has to be moving with you for at least a day or two before you get a notification. And also be separated from its actual owner.
Ah cool... thanks!
I haven't done any travel since AirTags became a thing so I didn't know how it worked.
Easier to buy more than replace the batteries
Its the one Apple product that you really want thinner.... and the one they won't make thinner
Not true.. I work at ups and I took a rail box to the rail yard and I got a notification on my phone about a airtag following me, I got the pop up about a little less than halfway to the yard.
