"but ultimately the Find My location wasn’t granular enough to find the phone"
Depends on the generation, the new ones with ultra wideband (UWB) are really awesome, you can locate the item to tens of centimeters. I think you already have to be in a certain range for UWB to kick in. So might not really help if you could not identify the apartment otherwise.
- gorbypark 3y agoThe only real "problem" with UWB is the range. It might work better in North American homes (with hollow drywall walls), but in my Spanish home with brick interior walls, UWB doesn't even work one room over. It'll say "nearby", but completely lack any sort of direction information unless in the same room. I'd suspect in a situation like the OP was in in Paris, it would be very difficult to distinguish and exact location using UWB unless you got really lucky (like the phone was being stored directly next to an exterior door or something).
