What if the finder doesn't intend to return the item/keys?
- skyde 4y agoi have this exact issue. forgot my jacket in a bar one day. Now i can see my jacket is inside a big apartment building for a year and have never moved. But i have no way to get it back because i dont know which appartement it’s part of and everybody ignore the lost message.
- mbirth 4y agoWhat about the UWB feature where your phone points into the direction of the AirTag? You'd have to walk down all the floors until your phone can pinpoint the location, but it's probably worth a try.
- perryizgr8 4y agoHasn't Apple said that itags are not meant to track stolen items? That falls outside of the intended use case. So both options are similar in that sense.
- dymk 4y agoThey're not similar in that sense. Apple has stated that they're not intended as a theft deterrent (standard corporate CYA), but they're still useful for stolen items. If somebody steals my backpack with an AirTag in it, I have at least a few hours before the thief alerted to the tracker. I'm also given a notification that my backpack is no longer with me immediately.
