    I've been a tile user for a few years with various different types... THis is because I'm hopeless and used to lose keys and my wallet at home, panic that they weren't at home, then replace cards etc only to find my wallet again. The biggest thing with them is the mixture of form factors (including the few styles with a keyring/lanyard loop) make having an option for a wallet, keys, tech, and several come with self adhesive pads so they can be stuck under or in things. You wouldn't know there was a tile on the bottom of my laptop, or my wallet. They even offer bright pattern tags which look more like a keyring so blend in.
    Love the idea of the apple network providing constant coverage if they're in lost mode, but man they're ugly. I wouldn't want that thing with the weird loop on my keys, it's too big and bulky. If they slimmed them down and made different shapes for different applications, I'd be more tempted.

    • @DavidManningvlog
      @DavidManningvlog  Před 3 lety +4

    If I put an Air Tag in my car and forget where I parked it (can be a few blocks away from my apartment), will the Tag's location automatically show up on my iDevice? Folks with iPhones walk around my neighbourhood all the time including the various spots where I park my car. I don't want to deliberately make the Tag in my car beep as obviously I would not hear it from a block away.

    BATTERY LIFE: I bought (and activated) four ATs in July of 2021. It is now December of 2022 and I had to replace one battery in September, and one this month. The other two have not yet shown up as being low. So at least Apple's claimed year (and maybe up to 18 months) of battery life can be expected from these. Two of these go into town a lot while two of them are on the road far less often. I suspect that these "report" their location whenever an iPhone comes into range, so if you live where they can report all the time your battery life will be shorter as it will be in use more often. My two that are still going strong after 17 months stay at home most of the time, and I live in a small town where most of the locals have cheap android phones. In town, it is more affluent, so there are far more expensive iPhones in use, and I think that affects battery life.

    Thanks for the informative video. I received a set of AirTags for Christmas. I set one up and put it in my son’s jacket so I could see where he went on a snow machine ride. I thought it had gps and would track where he went. Nope. He off he went on the snow machine, and the AirTag showed the last location, which was where he started from - our house! I was pretty disappointed. I’m sure it works great in a city, but not so much in the wilds of northwestern Ontario.
    And for the record, my son knew about the tag in his jacket 👍

    • @DavidManningvlog
      @DavidManningvlog  Před 2 lety +3

      Yeah, unfortunately for that use case, it's not GPS based. It's relying on pinging iPhones for its location. So if your son had an iPhone on him as well, then you could search for the AirTag at any point and it would show you its current location, but for tracking, you would be better off just using the iPhone in his pocket and something like Strava to track his rides👍

    Thank you for your clear video instruction. I have been trying to put the back on for about 45 minutes with no success. I shall try later on, then if not, I will take it to a jeweller to put back on for me. My thoughts on Apple Air Tags (I run an all Apple environment) I would highly recommend people not but this product. In my experience, being one month, it sometimes works. And in a tracking device which can be mission critical sometimes reliable is unacceptable. I am stuck with my Air Tags as they are a present from my wife and monogrammed, otherwise I would have chucked them in the bin and used my old Tile which has never let me down despite a range of challenging environments. Air Tags are a beautiful looking device, but I have found they just don’t work even in a totally Apple environment,

    I work for a company that lets customers borrow and return items. We have been looking into a way of tracking items that have not been returned. Do you think we need some sort of disclaimer on the items so customers do not get alarmed that their phone notifies them they are being tracked? Also, does the AT send constant warning of being tracked or just the 1?

    The question is, if some one takes your whatever object with an air tag in it, and they have an iPhone; would their iPhone tell them that someone else’s air tag is following them? So if they see the air tag or they don’t they are still notified that there is an air tag?

    Whats the difference between tracking someone and them stealing your item? Would their phone still tell them a air tag is traveling with them? If my car gets stolen i dont want that person to know its there. Im guessing it’s something to do with lost mode at this point.

    • @DavidManningvlog
      @DavidManningvlog  Před 3 lety +5

      Yeah, so the pop-up for that situation seems to only kick in after awhile of the AirTag following that person and it doesn't pop up at all if you've switched the AirTag to lost mode. So if you lose your thing, flip on that "Lost Mode" quick!

    • @HellbellyUK
      @HellbellyUK Před 3 lety

      Apparently it takes a couple of hours to get the “rogue airtag” alert, the assumption being you’d notice the thing being lost before then.

    Ok so might be a stupid question. So I put one of these on my motorbike. It gets stolen. The theif gets an alert on their iPhone that they are being tracked. My bike gets dunked into the local canal or the tag is found and placed in an envelope and posted to somewhere 100 miles away. How would this device be good for me??? I don't think it would be. 🤔

    Smartphones are hugely disruptive to my headspace and I use a classic „burner“ phone, so *+1* on reminding people about luggage tags. I can't scan AirTags with my phone and the closest I'd be able to manage would be phoning the tag ID into Apples „Lost & Found“ line... *IF* they operated one! 🤣
    On the other hand; Reading a luggage tag and phoning the number on it takes no time at all! 👍

    I bought two key chain holders, one was a Belkin plastic one for me and the other was an Apple leather one for my wife. I wanted hers to look good. I have a side pocket on my wallet that is where the third one goes and the fourth one goes in my wife's purse; so no other holders were necessary to purchase. The accessory market will be a boon for both Apple and third parties, hence the reason for not having a "hole" attachment point on the Apple air tag.

      Takes a few hours to alert someone that an AirTag is following them, so you have time to find your thing. UNLESS they have an iPhone and go to their "Home" marked in their iPhone. That will then alert them that an AirTag has followed them home. Apple prioritizes anti-stalking over anti-theft👍

    If someone finds your AirTag and wants to keep it for themselves, can they just take the battery out and put it back in, then pair it to their device? Or does it remember it’s paired to it’s original owner?

    Actually, I think if you think your item has been stolen, you should not put the airtag into lost mode. Lost mode will alert anyone in proximity to the item (including potentially the thief). You should just use passive tracking

  • @lonerider68
    @lonerider68 Před 3 lety +4

    Did you actually try out the anti-stalking feature? Some people suggested that a thief could designate the current AirTag location as their "home" and detect the AirTag immediately. I'm guessing Apple was smart enough to require the AirTag to move a little bit and wait some period of time before notifying thieves that there is an AirTag going to their "home" but I have no evidence to back that intuition up. Also I'd be intrigued if the AirTag UWB precision locator works if you drop it in say a few inches of muddy pond water.
    Realistically, I'm not that worried about thieves finding and disabling AirTags. They most likely are dumping the laptop bag/backpack as soon as possible and just keeping the stuff inside. Even for a bike, I "think" most thieves just try to get rid of the bike asap... and not bother with trying to disable any trackers (as a samsung/htc/tile tracker has no such anti-stalking feature). Of course I'm not a veteran criminal, so maybe I'm wrong. Personally, if I were putting an AirTag on my bike... I would try to DIY disable the speaker (it's not like I need that feature to find an entire bike) or put it in a foam/soundproof container and stick it into the seat post or fork tube. In general, theft recovery isn't my personal use case for item trackers.

      I do not know how true this is, but I heard it take a few days for the person to be notified. And also the AirTag has to be put in “lost mode”. I did test this out I placed my AirTag in my mothers bag during a visit and left it with her for a few hours while she ran errands and she never got notified. However I did not put it in lost mode. But what I did do is see if it showed a current location and it did and continued to update its location on her errands.

    So if this tracker was on a bike and it went missing then a thief who presumably has an iPhone can be alerted that an airbag is following them? 🤔 How will an airtag differentiate if someone put this on their car to track them or if the airtag owner put this on their own bike/car?

    When you put it in lost mode how long before it alerts someone that the AirTag is close by. My thought is if someone that has an iPhone steals my item. I activate lost mode and then they get an alert saying that an AirTag is close, they turn on the alarm, find my AirTag and throw it in a ditch keeping my item. Kind of defeats the purpose. I sort of want to see if I can disable the alarm and then hide it really really well, to the point the thief decides its not worth it and ditches the item.
