    I just got a slim wallet with a loop and have a keychain holder connected with a short, steel cable. Works great!

    What is Chipolo doing to prevent stalkers and abusers from using this device to track their victims? Will it alert someone that a device not registered to them has been following them? If so, do you have to install a Chipolo app and register an account in order to be notified, even if you don't have any Chipolo tags yourself? Will the Chipolo tag start making a noise after some period of time if its owner isn't nearby? I'm just asking because Apple's AirTags have some anti-stalker features, but a bunch of people on these forums seemed to think they hadn't done enough in that area. Now we have this Chipolo announcement, and I can't find a thing on their website about any measures whatsoever that they've taken to thwart misuse of their devices, other than the potential that there might not be enough Chipolo users out there for their phones to usefully relay a victim's location back to the stalker.
    The media and iHaters only care about Apple.  It's irrelevant that the entire GPS industry has had this problem since forever... but HEY APPLE!
    Is it the media or did Apple create the issue themselves? 

    Really?  Are you new here?
    Any news story that can put Apple in the headline automatically gets the clicks.  If you look, you would find just about everything you buy that is manufactured overseas has components that are sourced unethically or connected to bad labor practices. But will you ever read about your child labor making components for your iron or your coffee maker?  Ever read a story about Dell component supplier issues?  I’m sure the reports exist, but they wouldn’t be front page news.  Ever. 

    Apple knows that news editors would be all over “tracking gate” if they didn’t get in front of it. 

    I don’t say this as some sort of “poor Apple” conspiracy person. It’s just human nature. Apple is the biggest and the best known company out there. They have to be aware that all eyes are on them.

    Stupid millimeter differences so cases become obsolete.

    I’m starting to think Apple is doing this on purpose.

    Honestly, I have NEVER used an old case when I got a new phone. Never occurred to me to stick anything old on my shiny new kit…

    (I can understand with the $300 keyboard cases, but not the $20 phone case…)

  • Apple managers were conflicted over App Store ads before launch

    bageljoeybageljoey
    Sounds like a reasonable discussion. Don’t see anything off-putting there…
