As long as the price is relatively low, which is not something Apple is know for, these would sell like pancakes.

Kuo: 'Apple Tags' to Feature Ultra-Wideband Technology, Likely Far More Precise Than Tile's Trackers

My bad, my bad.... I guess it’s just as hard for you to imagine a useful product like Tile, only w/ the added benefit of better accuracy as it is (to you) like figuring out how a brand-new tech, that’s not already proven as useful will play out.
People can stick two of these on their airpods before dropping them in the NY subway.
I really, really hope this isn’t One More Thing. Announced in September 2019 and still nowhere to be seen come summer 2020.
You keep saying that word.... how much experience with Apple do you really have?
It’d be a good quip if reporting wasn’t already out there that the batteries are user-replaceable.
What Pathetic humans we have become requiring nannies to do everything for us so we don’t have to actually use our own god given brain.
Tim is genius at making us reliant on Apple for everything. And you lot think this is a good thing.

Because it's so like Apple to release a premium product with totally new technology for a price lower than the competitor.
I see these coming in at $39 a piece and they will sell incredibly well.
So eventually you will be able to track down all your Apple stuff (when updated to include the needed hardware) and other tagged stuff with AR; iPhone, AirPod, ATV remote, laptop... your kid! And all down to 5-10cm in precision!?
That is darn cool if you ask me - date I say innovative

You'll use the cancelled PowerPad, or whatever it was going to be called, to re-charge them. Or it could be $100 to replace the battery. Apple's choice.
Definitely hope they are flat on the sides. I'd like to put one in my wallet. I misplace that damn thing far too much.
The AR capability is what's going to put this over the top and why this is actually something I'm excited about. I'm more looking forward to this than the new phones. I will likely end up getting 4 or 5.
Will be interested on battery life. I've never used Tile so I don't even know what the current standard is for something like this. Maybe it could recharge with inductive charging and you could use the new iPhone to reverse wireless charge it on the back of the phone? I don't know.
Saw someone in the other thread have the idea of including this 'Tile'-like feature in the new Apple TV remote. Now that I've heard that idea I'm going to be very bummed if it doesn't have that feature. That would actually be a "killer" feature in my opinion.
Looking forward to this.

You know how I know you're old?
Actually, knowing how the brain works, and that each decision/memory activity takes a serious toll on brain power, not having to remember this type of information is quite useful. Obviously the key is what you do with the "freed" brain power. For me, this is a potential life saver.
Can I stick one of these in my car so I don't get lost trying to find it in the parking lot?
Realistically they will be £49, like the Apple Watch sport bands.
Because he can take care of things without tech assistance that you can't?
I found a much better solution than a wallet.
I understand that it's not for everyone, but for me and my wife it was life changing.

I'm running iOS13.1 and i keep getting an annoying popup that says Tile is tracking my location in the background. Me and my tinfoil hat believe this is an indication Apple is about to release a product in this space. I'm not getting any popups about Find me tracking my location....
Yep I was going to say that they might have rechargeable batteries and support reverse charging on the new phones to entice us to buy new phones and tiles
Yea, I've been dissapointed in my Tile Pro's for the last year. I've not lost anything, but when I've tested them out, the last location my Tile shows is where I left it. That's not exactly helpful and I the reason I purchased it was due to crowdsourcing the location of the Tiles. But, if no one else in a 50 mile radius is using Tile on their iOS devices, then it does me no good.
