      So with that feature, if you check the last address the airtag was in, it'll probably be the thief's house.
      Unless the thief does a throughout search on the car and throws the airtag before he starts driving.

Apple has said that they don’t know any information about the airtags like their location and any personal info- it’s all private and inaccessible to them. So for the privacy aspect and the fact that there will be many more phones around to find my stuff, I returned my tiles and bought airtags instead :)

    Having had a tile, the network of IOS devices is the biggest draw card for the air tag. Admittedly we were given the tile a few years ago but it simply didn’t work. Relying on others having the app and having it running meant that it was effectively useless. I’m thinking about some air tags for luggage simply because of the ability to lever millions of apple devices that are out and about all of the time.
    As others have also pointed out, the idea of paying a subscription also kills the advantages of the others. I’m also unlikely to put a tag on my keys. Over the years I’ve managed to reduce the keys that I carry down to the car key fob and house key only, and want less in my pocket, not more. I even leave the garage door opener in the car so that I don’t have to carry it, and have an app on my phone to open the garage with Bluetooth if I don’t have the key handy. I’m looking forward to using the phone as a key for my car in future to eliminate that too.

The Plus one offers the same tracking with UWB and uses the camera and AR to help you find it! Cost wise, they balance out, you still need to purchase $5-20 accessories to hang it on your keys with the Air tags

    The second he said that tile needs subscription to get all features, Apple AirTag won over that one for me. I absolutely HATE! subscriptions for every little things that absolutely do NOT need to have a subscription service. Like for example games (mobile apps), basically almost every functional apps (camera apps, picture editing apps, etc.), light systems, wifi radiator thermostats, etc. They should not have subscriptions.

    I'd love to get an AirTag to use on my bike, but the "anti-stalking" feature Apple implemented makes it completely useless for items that could be stolen. If the thief has an iPhone, and chances are they will, they'll be notified that the item they stole has an AirTag in it, allowing them to throw it away so you'll never see your item again.
    Tile doesn't have this feature, but their tracking is worse. I live in a rural area so I would be hesitant to put my faith in it. I'm basically forced to shell out for an expensive GPS tracker.

      You could use one of your old cheap old smartphone and lower the volume to silent. I hid a thin smartphone underneath the bottom padding in the bolted Topeak trunk bag on my commuter hybrid bike. It is a gps and isn’t just a Bluetooth tracker. The con with the gps is that you need to charge it more often vs these Bluetooth trackers. A phone also isn’t expensive bike gps with fees…. Even if you put a tile or AirTag on a bike, they can still be found by a thief…. As for airtag, people have removed the speaker and the following feature notice is supposed to be after 3 days so you got 3 days to find your bike. When the thief leaves the bike, the tracker wouldn’t be following the thief’s iPhone anymore.

  • @pbft.j
    @pbft.j 2 года назад +2

    Your videos always seem so rushed.
    I like your videos. I do not love how biased you are towards apple products.
    Sometimes it feels like you and your team don't do CRITICAL research before making a comparison video.This happens often.
    Mind you, I own both an iPhone with AirTag AND Samsung with SmartTag (both on the same set of keys)
    A few notes:
    1. Both the Tile and SmartTag have a built-in case. You just glossed over that after talking about how cheap and thin the AirTag is out of the box for a while. I know you mentioned it. but your "cheapest holder that Apple sells" is like $15, making a single AirTag like $43. It is worth mentioning that you can just pop an AirTag in a backpack pocket, keeping it at its base price, however that's unlikely for the majority of AirTags bought. And yes, that's just the cheap plastic Belkin holder for the AirTag. There are cheaper 3rd party options out there, but you know, Apple.
    2.The Samsung SmartTag has a "warmer/colder" visual animation similar to the AirTags. Without arrows, so not quite as good IMO but definitely something you should have at least MENTIONED. (This was the case since its launch. Not an update after the fact. This feature had been there for months before this video came out.)
    Samsung's "SmartTag+" does have a much better visual finder, using the camera (but that hadn't come out yet, so that's not your fault)
    3. I know you glossed over this, but both the Tile and SmartTag have a button. These can be set to communicate with ANY smart home devices. Not JUST other Samsung devices 5:10 *cough cough*
    - you can also set routines for the phone itself like sending a text saying "I'm home" to a spouse while opening your garage. It can turn on lights. It can even start your smart TV lol
    4. and this is a bit picky but you deserve it: @ 4:45 - obviously the SmartTag needed an update, it came out months before AirTags. That's why the AirTag didn't need an update. It was brand new. Also, if you had recently downloaded the Tile app, that's when you downloaded the update for Tile. AirTags have had firmware updates since you released this video. But this was such a dumb thing to complain about as part of your review, cmon man.
    I hate being that guy, but it just feels slimy when I watch a video and you're obviously more interested in getting the video out and pandering to an audience of Apple users that come to learn about products. I love the AirTag! It's my favorite of the bunch! I just think your "comparison" is cherry picked.
    At least I hope you did that on purpose, because if you didn't, it just means you didn't take the time to actually use 2 of the 3 products you're comparing. They even show this stuff in the ads for SmartTag. All of the ads. It amazes me that you wouldn't have known these things.

    I got a Tile for my water bottle since I tend to leave it places, and it was practically useless because of how long it took to connect and how unreliable it was. Albeit the place I usually lose it is at work, and there's a ton of other bluetooth devices around that may slow it down a fair bit, but still.

    I have three and the confidence i have in apple’s privacy is so much easier for me to trust it.

    I have the tile and the AirTag and I just bought and it’s the network for iOS that makes the AirTag a plus but the range sounds like they need to improve

    When you indoor: Use Precision Finding
    When outdoor: Use Strong network devices of Airtag

    Is the Samsung tag or the tile better for a Samsung phone I can’t decide?
