The title is rather inaccurate, a better and less attention seeking title would be:
"Apple AirTags draining battery of your Apple devices close by".
And then you can talk about Apple AirTags draining your Apple devices, e.g. in order to locate the Apple device of someone else your devices will use of a lot of battery in the process.
My hunch is that users want to be able to locate their lost Apple device at all times and AirTags improve that capability.
But most users will not pay the price of increased battery drain to help others locate their Apple device.
So Apple decides to make the feature opt-out, otherwise very few would actually enable the feature.
- berkes 5y agoIf people were that reluctant to switch a feature on, it is not a feature people want.
- mojzu 5y agoIsn't it more likely that 90%+ of people leave their devices on factory settings and don't want/care to understand or change them? I'd guess if you asked most of those people whether they'd want to be more likely to find their lost devices they'd answer yes, but you'd still have a tough time convincing many of them to actually go into settings to change anything
