I put air tags on all my shit. I have an air tag on my wallet. I have an air tag on my keys. I even hid an air tag in my pc so that if it’s ever stolen I can hopefully track it down. I have an air tag on my tv remote.
They have literally changed my life. Living with 3 other people. One of which is severely autistic and will pick up things and set them down under the sofa or some such nonsense. I spend a lot less time being angry. Air tags are the best thing that Apple ever invented.
iPhone is ok, but I miss my HTC touch pro 2. Apple Watch is superfluous junk. Air pods pro? Pshhhhhh whatever! Air tags, they will change your fucking life man.
Tile had trackers in 2013, 8 years before air tags. They might be better, but apple didn't invent the tech.
As far as I know, Tile is Bluetooth based and thus just general area. An AirTag your iPhone can point you in the exact direction and tell you how far you are, down to the foot. That’s an amazing feature especially for when stuff gets lost around the house. Also, they have replaceable batteries, an extreme rarity among Apple products.
