I'm surprised that Apple doesn't provide a commercial service for organisations such as airlines to scan baggage for AirTags.
This strikes me as something cheap to implement that would help everyone involved.
- devmunchies 4y agoGreat idea. And I get a Notification prompt that says "XYZ Corp would like to view MyName's AirTag location until Jan 27 @ 9pm" and I can choose to deny, or decrease/increase the time. Can remove them any moment, like when I receive the luggage. Could there be a financial incentive for Apple?
- Lio 4y agoI guess you could make it opt-in at the point that you load the e-tickets into the wallet. Even if Apple didn't charge directly for it (and they could charge the Airlines to cut down on lost baggage) they'd get a boost in sales of the AirTags.
- 93po 4y agoThis was my first thought too. Delta (or whoever) can provide you a $50 "Delta Tag" and partner with Apple to have access to the tracking data on that tag for the times around your flight. Combine it with a slip of paper actually placed inside the luggage (to prevent issues with external labels getting destroyed).
- chemmail 4y agoI hear some airlines are trying to ban airtags lol
- reustle 4y agoIf you surround an iPhone with 50 or 100 airtags (or any find-my enabled device), will that drastically reduce the battery of the phone as it is periodically pinging each of them?
