Perhaps not, but they're meaningless to the >50% of the population that doesn't have a modern enough iPhone as their daily carry phone.
Having moved back to a flip phone, I literally have no way to identify if such a tag is being used against me.

- wernerb 5y agoGPS trackers are a lot pricier and often bulkier though, somewhat limiting the probability of it to be used by the average stalker. Barrier to entry is significantly higher.
- zimpenfish 5y ago> GPS trackers are a lot pricier and often bulkier though A quick look on Amazon UK suggests that there are plenty of cheaper options and, whilst not many, there are options of a similar size to the AirTags. Now, admittedly, none of them have the same feature set as an AirTag but if you're at the point of buying GPS trackers to stalk someone, I doubt you're thinking about the technical distinctions.
