Ah, the classic “you’re holding it wrong” line of thinking. Nice.
Buy a proper vehicle tracker then, with GPS. How many lawsuits against Apple because the AirTag alerted a thief? vs AirTag stalking suits? Can’t have it both ways. LOL.
By the same token, you can say to the stalking victim to buy a proper tracking device locator then. The number of lawsuits claimed by the media doesn't represent true statistics. My wallet AirTag goes off every time I drive through the neighborhood. So does an AirTag I put on my wife's e-bike when we go on a ride. Some scared kids ping them furiously because they are told by Apple's flaky software that an AirTag is following them. There is a Reddit thread describing how people's AirTags are pinged constantly when they leave their house to go somewhere. People in apartment complexes seem to have it worse because everyone is living on top of each other and the software doesn't recognize that fact.
A very good reason would be to hide it something you don’t want to be stolen (a bag, a bike, a car… ) so you can find it if it is.
Don’t want to have it both ways. The AirTag stalking suits are just nonsense. Stalkers have countless ways to stalk people and there are better devices to do so. AirTag speaker should only be triggered when it’s owner wants it to be triggered.
I've said it once, I'll say it again. I retrieved two of my stolen vehicles using AirTags, I've put them in all my valuables now (all with the speaker prised out). They work! but I get the need for anti-stalking - not against that but they're still great for tracking stolen property.
I still don't get it. Isn't it supposed to send notifications only if separated from the owner for some time?
Buses have lots of metal and the owner of the tag can be in the back of the bus while the luggage is located in a compartment in the front.
If you buy a crescent wrench and it does a lousy job of hammering in a nail ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is that Craftsman's fault, or yours? 🤔
I just replaced all my batteries the other day after getting a warning of low battery for one of them, then a few days later I got the same warning. I was wondering if they automatically give you a yearly warning to replace, not going off the real battery charge. If they know what the charge is, why don't they show you the percentage ?
To put one in your vehicle or backpack in case it gets stolen? Nothing questionable about that. And less expensive than installing a GPS tracker in your car
1) If I have an AirTag on my bicycle and someone steals said bicycle, I do not want the thief to be notified I'm tracking them because they can then remove the AirTag and get away with my bike. 2) The AirTag on my dog's collar startles her when it randomly chimes.
^^^^ This. Keyhole, which somehow they will make a "pentakeyring" forcing you to get the special 5-lobed Apple Keyrings but yeah, a regular keyring (like the one already built into my laptop bag for instance) would be way more reliable/cheaper than the leather/silicone iPhone holders.
