Man I don’t have any social media but RUclips. I’ll never win. Also apple does know at all times where your air tag is at. While they might not track the air tag per say they do track the phone and other devices using connected to Bluetooth. So basically anytime the air tag connects to a device apple gets pinged revealing the location. This will be proven when OTA updates happen. Don’t be fooled.
The replacement idea is cool but can get expensive if you’re constantly buying watch batteries lol they should’ve had a super long battery life along with a charger tbh.
Yeah cool, but that person will get a notification HOW if you have an Android phone? Everyone using Android is at risk of being tracked by coworkers and classmates. 3 days isn't longer than a weekend
The most disappointing aspect of the AirTag's design is the fact that it is thief-friendly, particularly if the thief has an iPhone with them. Not only will the iPhone alert the thief to its presence, it will provide instructions on how to disable the AirTag. I would argue theft is a much larger problem than stalking.
Unless it's you who is being stalked! Stalkers are dangerous. I understand your point, though. Apparently AirTags should be considered useful for lost items, not stolen ones.
@@Sartfla The problem I have with the stalking argument (beyond the fact that theft is the larger issue) is that AirTags don't make stalking possible. They just make it more convenient. Stalkers are going to stalk, AirTags or not. So let's not pretend that crippling AirTags somehow eliminates the problem.
It’s cute at 8:35, that you say the tag will be more expensive than the whole bag whilst showing an Hermès Kelly bag.. when that bag alone cost $9,000 - 40,000.
I hope that at some point my phone can be notified if I leave the house without my wallet or vice versa. I’m constantly getting to the parking garage and realize I’ve left my phone or wallet up in my flat
Pretty sure the stalker feature is only issued when the original iPhone hasn’t been in contact with that tag in some time and is far from their area. I’m hoping it’s like a week or more. But if you have it near your iPhone you originally used on the tag frequently it doesn’t enter stalker mode. Exact distance or time away I’m unsure.
Yeah. I totally agree, if someone takes my airtag connected stuff and gets a message saying it's there, then the airtag is basically useless. That stopped me making a purchase.
I believe the tags are not meant for theft battling in the first place. By looking at the design and the replaceable battery a thief would not bother at all to wait for the moving rage notification to disable it, they could in less than 5 seconds remove the battery and that would be it. Great video btw!
Maybe if there are different “modes” to set the AirTag, this problem would be solved. Start beeping after 3 days of separation from your phone is a start but being able to set your own timing would be better.
Personally I think notifying the person they are moving with a tag is good enough. But have no ability to disable the tracking but disable the beeping sound. This solves both problems. The one who lost the tag has the ability to continue tracking the tag. The one with the tag is notified that he is with the tag. This give the person the choice to throw out the tag or contact the person.
Daniel, the accelerometer in the AirTag is used for the Moving Alerts, when you put your AirTag in “Lost Mode” it will detect movements so that it can track using other devices the latest location... CHEERS!
the accelerometer is used for height tracking or speed i assume. I saw that you can actually track it not only horizontally but vertically as well. So say your airtag is on top of the refrigerator, for some reason. the phone will tell you its right where you are, but its still 1.5ft away.
The point of the airtags is to track Lost not Stolen items. The accessories are designed to be on the exteriors or on the handles of things for people to see deliberately so it can be returned. Not to mitigate theft Keys would be the classic thing to track @cluewithoutthee
They need to implement this feature on the AirPods. If you lose your AirPods in the case it is very hard to track them down because you can’t ping them in the case. I lost mine for a day and I only had one AirPod in it cause I was only using one. I left my case and one pod in it at work . But I couldn’t track it down cause it was showing I had one nearby at home. Being able to ping the case would be nice.
I liked the video, very informative. One point that I wish to make between AirTag and Tile (I do own both items) is that Tile relies on a network of 30, 40 Million users while AirTag is well over 1 billion users in the US alone. The chances of a device being in the proximity of another Apple device are much greater than for the Tile products.
The tag is to find lost items not to prevent theft or track stolen items. And sadly privacy and stalking is their higher concern in the precautions, because there is no way for a little disc to know this person is a thief track them, this is your spouse you can’t stalk them.
Imma AirTag my Cat. She loves to sneak on the neighbours oh man. I hope she doesnt one day push the neighbours off the table too 😬 IG handel: @syafiqahbisnu
I’m a little late to Apple AirTags game, but aren’t all the concerns about stalking tracking issues, Weren’t these issues concerns also true with Tile? I’ve had Tiles since 2017, & never heard the stalking issue making the news.
I can’t think of anything less useful than airtags. OK - if you’re the kind of person who routinely can’t find your keys in your house, but if something is stolen the thief will simply remove it and discard.
My wife wants me to buy an AirTag because I suck about placing my keys in a regular place. She said, “$30 is a steal to never have to hear you say, ‘Have you seen my keys?”, again! Happy wife=happy life.
How would it track your dog? It will only show you the area your dog was in IF there was someone with an iphone nearby , and then your dog will likely have moved on anyway. Buy a Hermes dog lead for only $2,500 instead :)
Great information and I love your accent. I was researching this to TAG for my adorable Boston Terrier -Sir Winston Blu. I would also tag my husbands keys & wallet (he is always losing them) Thanks again for the information. Highly considering it, don't know if I will wait until APPLE improves the glitches. They're not cheap.
Is it still right, that a thief w/ an iPhone 'll get a notification and is able to deactivate it? If so, airtags are dumb for stolen things, but still useful for lost things. But there is still a network of iphones around necessary
"Battery life based on an everyday use of four play sound events and one Precision Finding event per day"...i think that this is more than enough, otherwise it would be better to tie the objects onto your body, so that you won't have to find themby pinging your airtag xD
How would it work at airports when you check your bag in. Will it notify those loading the bags? Will it beep until it detects my phone in range? So many questions. I need to know
Why an AirTag is moving away from you is not notifying your iPhone? Isn’t this the whole purpose for it? I like to be reminded if I was like 30m away rather than find out my thing I lost after a 10km drive.
Honestly the number one item I would use the air tag on would have to be my hidrate water bottle! I tend to leave it everywhere I go! The gym, my parents house, my girlfriends moms house. You name a location I’ve probably left my water bottle somewhere similar at the very least haha. Either that or my backpack that I take everywhere and almost all my important items in!
So much better than the first two youtube videos I watched on AirTags which were just utterly annoying. Yours was clearly stated and didn't waste our time with useless nonsense. Thanks.
Switched from Tile to Airtags. Did not care for Tile and decided to try Apple. Going on cruise in Feb 2023 and will put the Airtag and worthy of the hype behind it. Thanks for info.
Regarding the issue with moving tags on public transport, surely it will work just like any other lost and found item? When someone finds the tag after being pinged they can act on it.
Can you track certain AirTag for example you are in the woods? with a rare possibility that there is no iPhone device it can communicate with. Can you still see its location on your phone? Please answer this.
The video says that the air tag only activates when it is “not near you” but there is no indication of what “near” means. It cannot be used in his bike as that is not in the flat so presumably it can only be used for items that are normally within your vicinity. Eg. you cannot put one in your suitcase before it goes on an airplane so that you can track it when the airline sends it to Brazil instead of Italy or have I missed something?
When an airtag is separated from its owner for over 3 days and if it's then moved, it would chime to let the people around know of its presence. As u would understand that would require an accelerometer
The extra sensors in the air tags are for tracking movements for AR/VR. Wait for WWDC. Parents say the airtags could be used for tracking your body for fitness applications.
Can I used it to track my son if he wanders and get lost ? He has autism, I saw someone attached it to a watch strap. How far can he go that can allow me to track and find him. Please I need to know. Thanks.
i try many brands tracker non of them can works more than 2 months with single battery but finally i buy nonda key finder its tracker ( rechargeable ) and about airtage it’s better if i can recharge battery and must apple find way to protract my item from thief to deactivate my airtag
You CAN use it on your bike and it will NOT beep after 3 days. Why/how? Because that's what the accelerometer is for: the anti stalking feature only kicks in if the Airtag is separated from the owner AND moves with someone else. If you leave it with your bike and your bike doesn't move, it won't beep.
Since there is no GPS, the accelerometer helps determine whether the tag is moving or not. The notifications are managed differently depending on whether the tag is moving or not.

Just buy some Airtags. It’ll be ok.
The accelereometer is used to track if the tag is moving I guess .. ie for the moving alert
I wish I could attach a tag to my trains of thought that aways vanish into thin air.

@qwertzuiop oh 3 days would account for a number of cases. That’s good
I would track my son, hiding the airtags inside his shoes!! 🤣
Does Airtag or Tile need a subscription to track?
Great content Daniel! Your videos are always enjoyable, informative, with clarity, keep up with the amazing work!👍😎
Accelerometer is needed for the anti stalking feature ?
From a PR perspective, its better for them to be useless in a theft situation versus being used for malicious tracking.

It can’t be used maliciously
@@tomashenderson502 oh it can be used maliciously as long as the person you are tracking does not have an iphone.

Thank you so much for giving us wonderful information related with the tag thank you so much love you from India
Is the accelerometer installed so that the air tag can detect a “tap” from someone looking to see who the tag belongs to?
Since there is no GPS, the accelerometer helps determine whether the tag is moving or not. The notifications are managed differently depending on whether the tag is moving or not.
Is it international ?
