It addresses none of the key past concerns. Specifically the ability for the devices to operate with their speakers disabled and no effective means for non-iPhone users to detect they are being tracked. The Android app Apple released is basically useless since it requires manual scanning.
- dwaite 5y ago> The Android app Apple released is basically useless since it requires manual scanning. It is better than nothing. The limitation on background scanning is likely due to Android + diverse hardware not providing a low-power way to do such a thing. The more effort Apple takes to bind an Apple ID to a real world identity, the more consequence comes from abuse of a tag. The alerting serves to make that consequence more likely.
