- KaiserPro 2y agoI wasn't aware that tile blocked an entire phone operating system from detecting their product. Tile also has the advantage of not being able to provide any useful location data less than a few hundred meters (unless you use the beeper) The spatial resolution that airtags are capable of, because of the network of iOS devices that were auto enrolled is far far greater than the shit that tile could hope to dream of.
- preciousoo 2y agoDid Tile (or any similar product) have infrastructure that allowed non-suspecting people to know that they were being tracked? AirTags had that

(that has now changed, belatedly.) just because tile is a fly by night type organisation, doesn't mean apple can get away with being so lacklustre about safety. They _knew_ that this was a risk, but didn't choose to mitigate it until much later on. Had they bothered to listen to the nagging voices, they wouldn't have been surprised.
