I mean that's the first thought I had for it.

Basically if anyone finds either and they have an iPhone they can scan it and it'll notify you. Much better than hoping your lost dog is scanned by the vet. And it doesn't have a yearly chip fee.

| Yup, my first thought was to see if I could attach one to his dog collar. Next thought was to hide one under the floor carpets in both cars in case they get stolen. I’m also going to put one in my mom’s purse so I can find her if she gets lost; she just moved in with us and can’t seem to figure out how to work Google Maps so we’ve had some issues. “Mom, what street are you on?” “Okay then what are you looking at right now?” “Did you cross a river?!?” |
I'm totally doing all of this. Thank you. |
| One is going on my keys. Then my Apple Watch can find my phone and my phone can find my keys and my scatterbrained self can get out the door on time! |
I see some houses. |
| How are these different than Tile that has been around for years? |
What's Tile? |
I am wondering the same thing |
| Isn't Tile somewhat distance-constrained? Like it has to be nearby for you to find it. Good for finding your keys in the house, not so much for locating lost dog in the neighborhood. |
Air tag only works within a 30 ft range. It’s literally the same thing as a tile without step by step directions |
Any Apple device acts a sensor for their network. That means every iPhone. |
Why are people talking about tracking people and dogs and cars then? |
| I have a Tile on my keys and it rarely works. So this will be different from Tile if it works. |
| I used to have a Tile on my keys and it worked well for the first few months and then completely stopped working. |
