I don't agree with Tile on everything but most of the people posting do not appear to be aware of the actual complaints which seem pretty valid. 
1. AirTags are automatically allowed to be found whereas Apple makes it very difficult for you to use Location Tracking with the Tile. In my own experience the "allow always" setting was disabled multiple times over several IOS updates.
2. AirTags will have at least 6 months of exclusivity in the market before Tile will be able to get their devices approved.
3. If Tile decides to support Find My it will mean that they have to create a second product line because Find My is a proprietary protocol which Tile will not be able to use for their devices that support Android. 

That being said it seems like eventually Tile will be pretty competitive since Apple charges more for the key fob to put the AirTag in than the AirTag itself! Tile on the other hand can just directly go on your key chain. 

I tried it but I found it did not work very well due to the limitations of Fitness+. I wanted to go for a walk with my wife but Fitness+ has no concept of shared exercise. Fine sure just have her track it as a outdoor walk but there is no way to listen to the Time to Walk through anything except bluetooth headphones so it is not really a walk together at that point. If it worked on the iPhone as well as the watch at least I could put it on speaker. 

It would be super cool if during setup you could take a pano of your room and later your Apple TV 4K could show you where in the room your remote was. Then again I guess you would need the remote to use the AppleTV to tell it to find it... never mind.

This clickbait title was the last straw. I am taking the site out of my RSS feed. 

This article is slightly misleading. Much of what goes into producing an Apple device is heavily automated. Final assembly on the other hand is usually pretty manual. That is one of the things which drives component consolidation and design simplification. Despite have a lot more features the number of parts in the iPhone has stayed pretty much the same.

I have both an echo and an iPhone. Alexa feels much more capable. Some of this is the ability to filter out background noise and some if it is that it feels way more conversational and real-time than Siri. Then again it isn't really a fair comparison since I had to turn on Siri's push to activate feature because there were so many false activations. Oh wait nope totally fair although I admit once or twice Alexa has randomly told a joke.
