AirTags shipped with anti-abuse features on day one, no other product provides any anti-abuse features whatsoever.
The speaker could be defeated, but the anti tracking stuff cannot be stopped without breaking the basic functionality.
If you’re demanding that companies must go to great length to avoid abuse of their products why aren’t you demanding the same from tile? Why not the myriad gps trackers on Amazon? It’s not unreasonable to demand that Amazon ensures every such tracker they sell has speakers and anti abuse features.

I agree, however, this thread is about Apple's AirTag devices, and complaining about Amazon's incredibly vile sales practices seems at least somewhat off topic for it.
- olliej 5y agoAnd Apple's device have vastly superior anti-abuse features than every other product, and clearly apple has not stopped fighting said abused. What's happening now though is people are attacking apple because AirTags anti-abuse features work, and people have identified when they're being stalked. We haven't heard stories like this about tile, not because it doesn't happen, but because the complete lack of any anti-abuse features mean that victims are unaware they're being tracked.
