Great. So you just made an app that helps bike thieves find the airtag hidden in my bicycle.

- bogwog 5y agoWhy would you assume the bike thief doesn't have an iPhone?
- withinboredom 5y agoBecause the bad guys never have one in the movies /s

And it’s actually true isn’t it! :-) Apple won’t let bad guys use their hardware; https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/26/apple-wont-let-bad-guys-use-iphones-in-movies-says-knives-out-director.html https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/26/apple-wont-let-bad-guys-use-...
- lotsofpulp 5y agoThat is nonsense. Legally, Apple can do nothing if a movie maker wants to go out and buy an Apple product and show a bad guy using their products. That director is probably referring agreements the movie maker made with Apple in exchange for free Apple devices to use in the movies. Or he is trying to misdirect for the next movie he is making.
- daniel_iversen 5y agoOf course it wouldn’t be anything legal, most likely just to do with the free supply of hardware as you suggested!
- withinboredom 5y agoThe legalities of it probably revolve around the Apple trademark and nothing to do with the hardware.
- kelnos 5y agoWon't the AirTag start beeping if your bike is stolen (that is, if the tag is away from your iPhone for too long)? I think that will alert them much better than this app will.
