Most battery powered trackers have a battery life of about a week. AirTags last a year. That's possible because they're pretty much passive and Apple's network of iPhones does the actual tracking. No other company can do this.
- gjsman-1000 4y agoYou clearly haven't researched Tile. They've been around forever, and last a long time as well.
- chpatrick 4y agoI did, I found no evidence that their network exists at all in my country.
- xeromal 4y agoAt least in the US, you're mistake if these are the same problem. The amount of people who have tile software install in the US are nowhere near the amount of iphones out and about (over 50% of phone users).
- nindalf 4y agoThis isn’t fair, but AirTags are superior (and more of a tracking threat) because the number of iPhones dwarfs the number of phones Tile is installed on.
- InTheArena 4y agoAs a user of tile, I never ran into a problem with not knowing (after 20-30 minutes) where the device was. Simply that it took a while for someone with the tile app installed to randomly wander into range.
- jhloa2 4y agoPlenty of motorcycle gps trackers have battery life in the year range. You don’t need it to send live location data, just a ping every few minutes
