CloudTalkin said: Curious. Why are you trying to turn AirTags in to anti-theft devices when they are obviously not anti-theft devices. If they were, and they're not, they would rank among the poorest anti-theft devices available. Anti-theft …

Happy_Noodle_Boy said: I think you might have meant something other than "Jumping the shark", it doesn't make a whole lot to sense in this context. I don't think Apple is making the change to generate interest in a formally popular product. …

fastasleep said: "Do you really think the average Apple user geofences everything he or she owns?" What? You don't "geofence everything", you specify where your Home or Work locations are in your contact card, so you can use location-aware feat…

fastasleep said: Are you both forgetting that your devices know where your home is, assuming you've set up your own contact card properly? Do you not ever use geofencing like "Hey Siri, remind me when I get home to feed the cat"? You and your d…

mike1 said: That seems problematic. So, the tag in my suitcase that is stored in a closet could start to play an alert if I am away for as little as 8 hours?! That would be every single work day. My wife will hit me over the head with the suitc…

The CEO should stop whining and get to work on Tile's next big product: an anti-theft tracker that uses the Find My network. Apple has deliberately designed the AirTag to prevent it from being used for that purpose. Tile could own the anti-theft …

jd_in_sb said: Such a bummer that air tags can’t be used for anti-theft. That was the killer app. Apple doesn't want the bad press of clickbait article titled "APPLE AIRTAGS USED TO STALK INNOCENT VICTIMS!" and the like. Of course, there…

AppleZulu said: Again, the tag only makes an alert sound three days after it's separated from the associated iPhone. So for $29, this would probably go a long way to solving the situation you just described. Unless you get really, really lost w…

What’sATortoise said: So if I leave my keys with a valet, my wallet in the gym locker, my bag in the house when I go to work, the AirTag with that item is going to start sending alerts and start beeping? My gym locker is going to beep while …

If authentic, these documents show something very important - a return to function over form in the MacBook line. If REvil thinks releasing these documents hurts Apple, I think it's quite the opposite. The ones to be hurt will be Quanta.

lkrupp said: Well, Tile has been around for some time now so shouldn’t we already know of any real-world issues like you describe? There are a multitude of electronic gadgets you can buy to surreptitiously track a person. For $29 you can …

netrox said: Can I use it to track a stolen vehicle? Will it be able to locate? Does it require that there are iPhone users or wireless networks nearby to transmit the location? In theory it would be an outstanding way to locate a stolen …

22july2013 said:What you don't understand is that iPhones, iPads, and Macs already have internet connections and therefore they do NOT request nearby bluetooth iOS devices to report their location. That's the difference. (I'm ignoring AirPods be…

22july2013 said: I'm surprised there hasn't been outrage that people's iPhones are using their own data plans to transmit location data of other people's Tags. I think the reason there is no outrage is that people still haven't figured out what…

Okay, here is more detail about the privacy protection features from the Apple website: AirTag is also designed with a set of proactive features that discourage unwanted tracking, an industry first. Bluetooth signal identifiers transmitted by AirTa…
