So even non-Apple users will get alerted if they're being tracked with it.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoDoes this mean that if your phone dies or you turn it off during a movie your keys will randomly beep at you?
- rp1229 6y agoNo -- it has be 'over time' which can be inferred to mean more than 2 hours.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoHow long do you infer it to be? I assumed they just meant it wouldn't beep if you momentarily stepped out of the room for 30 seconds.
- DangerousPie 6y agoI suspect "an extended period of time" will not be an hour two.
- asdff 6y agoHow long is that, though? I wish Apple spoke in absolutes when discussing technical details. Some people shut their phone off to golf or do some other outdoor activity, like hiking. Some rounds take close to 6 hours on public courses depending on pace of play. Imagine your friend is trying to putt then your air tagged golf bag starts going off on the 18th green.

- wrboyce 6y agoTake the tag off the bag? Surely you can work that out for yourself whilst dreaming up these ridiculous edge cases to prove some point?
- asdff 6y agoNon apple users who aren't hard of hearing, that is.
