New Separation Alerts in iOS 15 Let You Know If You Leave an AirTag or Apple Device Behind

[Millican Pecan]

I am fascinated by the ability to track my Apple devices. My phone alerts me when I am out of range of my AirPods and I am able to track my luggage when I travel. Even though trackers are getting some bad press due to stalkers and vehicle thieves, they do serve a very good purpose. One can only hope that Apple figures out the security issues soon. But even with these tracking capabilities, they are dependent on not losing the phone. Recently, a new generation of phone reminder devices (PRDs with no app required / no-tracking) are now being sold that work complimentary with the Apple products, reminding you that you have left your phone behind. (After all, you need your phone to operate the tracking app.) The PRDs are short range adjustable alert distance reminders (not finders) that are extremely reliable. After a few months, I have found them (mine is the Prox PRD) to work extremely well (zero false alerts) and compliment the AirTags capabilities. Let's see what the future holds for all this great new technology.
