Maybe it isn't a ponzi scheme (I'm no expert) but even after looking up all the acronyms (and maybe especially after looking them up) this sounds like an episode of Schitt's Creek. But let me try to actually understand. You p

Well, "to be fair", a phone's battery would die in a few days. Airtags are supposed to last for a year. Why work so hard to pretend these things are the same and therefore deserve to have the same protections applied when it
