That may be understating it a bit. I honestly can't decide which is greater.
Airtags as-is are nerfed for non-technical reasons as to make them more or less useless to me, despite their ability to be incredibly useful.
For example:
Due to the nag/anti-stalking alerts I can't put them on dog collars due to day-care visits. No way for others to whitelist a tag on their phone, or any way to silence it.
Same goes now for the car. It's annoying to just toss one in each trunk in case of theft or whatnot, since the cars are shared.
The privacy concerns have more or less turned this product into something of a very narrow usage band - aside from a personal bookbag or whatnot I don't see many other realistic uses at this time. Not useful for hiding in my power tools, etc. etc.
I had pretty high hopes for these for some peace of mind (dogs), and I live in a high crime area so being able to track my expensive items has proven useful in the past. I was excited about expanding on this use until they started crippling them.
