In 2022, Tile argued that Apple's AirTag and Find My ecosystem violate antitrust. Apple allows manufacturers like Tile to take part in the Find My ecosystem, but those companies don't get access to user location data.

Ok, so other vendors can do everything the AirTags can, where is the problem? That a third party can’t spy on us?

Oh, glad you did some digging. This seams like something Apple can address. Earlier articles I read made me think his area just has spotty service, as it happened to us a couple of times.

Our neighbor across the street doesn’t talk to us anymore because I got sick of her being, um, let’s use the word rude, always accusing us of having her missing AirPods. First, how would we have gotten them? Second, after like the third time of me explaining what the blue circle means, and the dot in the middle doesn’t mean the precise location, and how to play a sound? I’d had it. Not for the comedic events of her thinking we had them, but her rudeness. I mean, she clearly found them, not at my house the previous times. Also, zero apologies. 

So at the moment, it is $169.99 on their website, a “Windows” version on Amazon for $129.99 and a Mac version for $179.99. No mention of what is different. Reminds me of the days external hard drives were more for Mac “compatible” ones.

I wonder if any of the rank and file get the same type of parental leave the CEO does?  And before someone spouts out "FMLA", I'm aware that FMLA exists, but only for certain classes of employees, and only unpaid.  I'm sure the CEO can weather 12 weeks of not being paid far, far more easily than any of the people who work at the lower levels.

My company provides it to all. Paid. Chances are Facebook does, too. Especially if they have discretionary time off vs standard PTO

Is this still all Apple’s fault? Can only point the finger at others so many times before it shows one’s own failure to adapt.
