Surely you can see how that would be a poor design choice. It's quite a common use case for tracking devices like the AirTag.

- jeromegv 5y agoHow is that a poor design? How would you design it to not alert the thief but alert someone they are being stalked? You can only have 1. Can’t have both.
- Wiseacre 5y agoIt is poor design only if we are calling this misuse. For the record I don't think Apple is doing anything of the sort. They knew exactly how these AirTags would be used, so they wouldn't blame the user as misusing the tags.

- Wiseacre 5y agoThat doesn't really change anything. Throughout the design phase Apple was fully aware that a large portion of users would use AirTags this way.
