Is the keychain going to hear your whistle on the other side of town?
- birdyrooster 5y agoThere is a network of people all using the Whistle Finder online and they work together to find items around the world on Discord.
- dylan604 5y agoThis has to be the most internet thing to hear about today.
- amelius 5y agoWill you be able to locate your AirTag in an area with no iDevices?
- function_seven 5y agoNo, but the difference is huge. With the whistle, your range is what, 40m radius? With this, it's every populated place. They won't work if you lost something on a back country hike, but 95% of the world (that you'd visit) will have other iDevice users pass by within a day.
- amelius 5y agoMy point was also about the technology not just about possible applications. Also, I don't see how you'd lose something so important that you'd tag it. E.g. I'd tag my camera, but then I wouldn't lose it because it is precious to me.
- yakshaving_jgt 5y agoBut someone might steal your camera.
- amelius 5y agoIn which case they'd remove the AirTag and dump it in the trash. Most thieves are not stupid.
- yakshaving_jgt 5y agoIt seems you and I have had wildly different experiences with criminals.
