Thanks for this informative video. 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.

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.

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 2 роки тому
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?

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.

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

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!

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.

What if you use this to track an indoor/outdoor pet? Is there any way to attach this to a collar without people seeing it?

I just ordered them the other day. Waiting for them to arrive. One question though, if I throw one in my car somewhere and another iphone user is in the car with me, they will keep getting notified that there is an air tag near them?
@DavidManningvlog
@DavidManningvlog 2 роки тому
Takes a few hours to alert someone that an AirTag is following them, so the person would need to be in your car for awhile. UNLESS they have an iPhone and you 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👍

@@DavidManningvlog Thanks for that explanation. While I have you, is there a way to get a notification on my phone when the air tag "(n my car), has "left its" location? As if someone has stolen my car. Foe example if I am at work and I have my car parked in the lot and someone steals my car, can I be notified that way?

If you have 5 people in the car with iPhone's and the AirTag is on your key chain. Will the other 4 be notified or my guess is that since the owner is also in the vehicle, that the other 4 will not be notifieid

If the air tag alerts u thst u are being tracked by an air tag isn't that alerting the thief he's being tracked kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it?

If you've hidden in your car and someone steals it and you activate 'lost' mode can that person, if they're an iPhone user, actually see that air tag that you've hidden in your vehicle search for it find it and disable it? Is that even possible?
@redman2751
@redman2751 Рік тому
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.

Question: what if somebody steals my luggage that had an AirTag. 10 minutes later, my AirTag tells the thief, ‘Hey! You’re being tracked’ and he chimes the tag and takes off the battery?

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👍

So to your point when I travel I always have two AirTags one on the outside for the Angel who is going to be the one to go OH this poor person who left there suitcase let me scan the AirTag and see who lost there bag... Then I have an AirTag in my locked suitcase somewhere where no one can find easy without breaking the lock or cutting though the bag ruining the expensive bag at that but I can then track them and my bag after they rip the first AirTag off the outside bag.. I mostly hide my AirTags unless for work where I just want to see if I left my bag at work and all but when I travel or are around many people in public then I hide the AirTags or have two like I said above I can't get enough AirTags... but it depends on how I use them some cases its best like at Airports to have the AirTag on the outside of the bag so people can find your bag and hopefully be like we found your bag and AirTag as well as keeping a hidden tag in the locked bag. All in All I agree with you but it just depends on how you use the Tags but better safe then sorry having many on one item is never a bad thing.
