    What’s your point? AirTags don’t require the U1 chip. It is required for precision finding. Seems like I’m entertaining a bad faith argument.

      My point is that people without iOS 14.5 (older iPhones), iphone 11 or later will either be forced to upgrade or switch from Android (bad app reviews) to avoid being tracked - a dirty trick by Apple to gain customers. Some people might brush notifications - either be 3 days as the reporter suggested (self tag) or right away as OP (stranger's tag) Just a hypothesis, but Apple has a history of doing this as seen in 1,2,3 above. Its PR is genius, always spinning the narrative. #3 update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l3f1KrMQeo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l3f1KrMQeo

        iOS 14.5 goes back to iPhone 6s which came out in 2015. It seems more than reasonable that it wouldn't support devices older than that. No iPhone or Android device available actually prevents you being tracked. No smartphone prevents someone wanting to track you from using a cheap GPS tracker, Tile or another old cellphone to trace your location. Airtags aren't made for tracking people and are actually the only tracker that will alert anyone at all of their potentially unwanted presence.
