A number of major cities and US states are seriously considering making the sale or use of these illegal. The wife of my sisters boss a long time family freind of ours was stalked and assaulted using these. He and a bunch of other business owners are thinking of actually banning the use of any Apple products on the company premises. This is not a small company either. He was told by the police that was estimated that over 80% of Air Tags were being used to commit crimes.

The ironic thing about Apple's attempts to make them less useful for criminals is that these "improvements" make them less useful for finding a stolen item. For example, last year I had a bicycle stolen that had an AirTag on it. It likely started beeping a few minutes after the thief started moving it, alerting the thief to the AirTag's presence on the bicycle, whereupon the thief could smash the AirTag with a rock.

A few minutes? Try 8 hours after they moved it. If your bike got stolen overnight and you didn't notice for over 8 hours then sure, maybe it started beeping and they smashed it with a rock then, but it certainly wasn't a few minutes after they stole it. If they found it in a few minutes, you didn't hide it well enough and they just happened to spot the tag and got rid of it.

While on vacation, I gave my 7 year old nephew an AirTag in case he got separated from us and lo and behold he definitely did get separated. His dad called me in a panic and I successfully used the AirTag to find him. They are dangerously useful.

We have auto shops we work with who will look look over cars and take apart the outer accessible parts. It’s a completely nightmare for a survivor to uproot their family to get safe, only to be undermined and devastated by an abuser who won’t let them be without them and of course it can be lethal. The moment someone leaves is the riskiest part. Violence tends to escalate when the abuse loses their control.

Let me start by saying I love using AirTags for their intended purpose. I was just on a flight, where my friend’s luggage was lost. Before flying, she had asked me if I could put one in, since I had put one in my own bag, and since I had an extra one I said sure, I would put one in her suitcase and remove it when all the bags got where we needed to go safely. Well wouldn’t you know, the bag got lost. I was able to track it, and figured out that it did get to the destinations airport, so we were able to find the bag within a few minutes, not wasting time searching the origin airport. So that’s a really good use of the technology in my opinion. But I can definitely see how it can be used for bad as well. I could imagine, if I was for example a female Uber driver, being scared that an AirTag could be placed on the car, and then I’d be found home. I can see the argument from both sides. I don’t really have an answer.

Apple could make it such that the airtags would not work if their speaker has been disabled or they've been tampered with in any other way. They've already done it with the iPhones, so this should not be a big deal. Also, instead of continually transmitting its location, the airtag's owner would have to request for it. the airtag would beep when it transmits it's location, alerting anyone in its vicinity who could be being stalked. This obviously is not perfect, since the beep may not always be audible or it may also alert a robber of its existence. That was the best solution i could think of though.

It seems like the air tag also defeats the purpose of tracking your lost item when it’s stolen. So if the robber or thief steals your bags, they might hear the beeping or get notifications if they’re using iPhone. That’s if you or the police finds your bag before 12 hours is up.

Possible solutions : 1. Only police be allowed to silently track stuff. 2. You can silently track your airtag with only your iphone, in a range of 30-50 m from your phone. 3. Once you reach within 5 m of the airtag you're tracking, it'll make noise automatically. Maybe these can help. And as for tracking thieves silently, there's no point of confronting a professional thief, only the police are equipped to do so. If the thief is a coworker, then the 5 m alarm shouldn't be a problem.

I think the registration is fairly robust, or as much as it can be to protect the AirTag owner’s privacy as well. They can only be registered to a single Apple account and are non transferable.

There are still going to be some ways around it and bad people are going to do bad things.

What I find interesting is how the tech works by piggybacking off other people devices without their prior consent. This destroys much trust a person has in their devices when they are doing things outside of the persons personal use without being agreed to. For instance the Bluetooth functionality is accepted because it is user activated and one would assume their phone is not being accessed without permission unless they authorize the connection on their phone themselves. But what happens when someone finds a way to hack phones when using such trackers to establish a Bluetooth connecting with the device and bypass any security that would deny this. And there is of course people who would wish to opt out of being apart of the tracker program and they did not buy a phone to then have it used to support other products/services they were not interested it. I'm curious about how others find this choice of a company to access peoples devices for the purpose of selling others a new product.

that is the one aspect of this apple actually is guilty of. They retroactively opted you as a consumer into this. Now, I don't technically believe this classifies as illegal although it might under some obscure definition. (It would primarily depend AFAIK on whether or not you could choose to avoid updating the device whenever the airtag support was added) Nor do I necessarily believe Apple doesn't have the right to do this. Apple has ALWAYS sold a locked down operating system on devices they control, that's their MO, you knew thats what you were buying, so you could make a convincing case that this is just a step in that process. However, instead of questioning the legality or morality of this which is more or less irrelevant, (since as mentioned it is so complex) lets instead realize who gives a shit because Apple pulls crap on it's consumers constantly and anyone sitll buying Apple products knows damn well what they are getting themselves into. If they somehow don't, let this teach them. The law is fickle, politicians can be bribed, laws have loopholes, but if you just inform people and educate them on what it is they are buying, a company can't bribe more money into existance. If no-one buys their shit, doesn't matter. (and if they ever DID try to somehow bribe more money into existence, it would be a PR nuke) People continue to argue about WHAT Apple does, has done, will do, etc and 9/10 its bad, so why the hell do people keep buying their shit. You haven't just been fooled once, you haven't just been fooled twice, you are inventing new god damn numbers to try to have a hope of recording how many times you have been fooled.

Theres obvious concerns imo about apple in the latest years for me for just this weird behaviour, where they try to seclude themselves as the good guys, but then make bonkers decisions that break their own rules about established security and privacy things. Honestly, privacy is a product but it shouldnt be, apple sells themselves as like the only company you should trust, but they are all out on making big bucks from all the people that go with their flow and throw all kinds of money in for products they dont really need or even should buy. Most apple products offer less for more money and dont make sense at all from the big picture. It also shows very well how all this dumbening of the smart products hasnt really made lives easier but people dumber. I honestly dont even trust their secrecy on most things they do cause it sure does seem sometimes that they either are brainwashing people with false claims or just reversed advertising or just are more deeply in the US gvn than people think. Steve Jobs, altough he was an uptight asshole of hippy, wouldnt certainly be happy about apple in this day and age. It shows well in reviews also that people are so biased towards calling everything apple makes so wonderful and perfect, while i have many times more issues since i bought my 12 pro max and updates from my 300 euro honor 10. It doesnt feel like a complete product with all those downfalls of bugs, lags and just stuff not working how it should in logical sense. All worked perfectly on android and even when it got slow i knew i could count on it handling everything i wanted. Basically, i work at an apple store, but i dont recomment apple anymore. I dont care how great their chips are or how the ecosystem works together, if it means youre pretty much joining a jail with no way out.

I've heard about this, glad you're addressing the issue, obviously they weren't meant to be used like this but its just concerning

Honestly its kinda scary that air tags work by communicating location information to random apple devices. This is straight out of my nightmares of if apple had complete control of the markets. I actually recently got a notification on my iPhone myself about an unknown AirTag having been following for a while. This was after a international flight and I had gotten to my room, and for a moment I was terrified. I was already in another country alone for the first time and then I was told someone was using an apple product to track me. It didn’t help I knew hardly anything about air tags (apple isn’t doing a great job advertising the danger for apple users either). When it said to find the tag and contact the police, I did everything to try and find the tag slipped into my luggage or somewhere and couldn’t. Eventually I just thought I had to ignore it and it went away. Weeks later and I still don’t know what spurred it or what happened to it or if I’m still being tracked.

The thief could be alerted to the AirTag and disable it, therefore rendering the air tag useless for the reason it was designed.

Most of the prototypes and products we used Apple has since made their own shiny white version and pretended it invented. A guy came there to give a talk about this concept of short range radio devices signal piggybacking on each other in a sort of physical cloud. Even back then my first thought was it was a terrible idea and would be an absolute security nightmare. And I was just thinking about the data being insecure, I didn't even consider the location tracking aspect. Crazy times.

So, in subdeveloped countries using airtags to stalk people isn't really a concern, at least not for normal people.

Exactly that's what im saying. People are acting like that air tags are a actual threat. When normal trackers are cheaper and don't have any security precautions.

I have disconsidered buying an AirTag just because people here don't usually have iPhone and would make tracking impossible

You can't call it "not sub developed country issue" because if Apple products were made affordable in all countries, then more people will have it. Its not the country's economy alone that determines the product cost.

Man the effort put into those video. The editing. The plot. The execution. The jokes. All the stuff. Its a masterpiece. Its a dream

@Mrwhosetheboss I'm not sure if you personally read comments or whether your team does however I had a question regarding Samsungs smart tag , if I were to purchase a second hand one would the previous owner be able to access it or can it only work on one device ? Kindly advise

It would be VERY simple to make the AirTag ping once each time the location is viewed (and/or add a vibration engine). This would help deter trackers tremendously. Also Apple is good at blocking third party repairs, seems to me they would be able to make it nearly impossible to unhook the speaker. If they wanted to live up to their privacy claims, they would offer free upgrades from original AirTags to AirTags 2, while removing all original AirTags from the system. The solutions are out there, if they would just do it.

The thing is that makes no sense, since your own AirTag isn't a threat to you there's no reason for them to put resources into it, and on the other hand also people who actually mean harm with this device are not interested at all in trading the security threat device they just bought for a device with more security features. The only real solution to this is fix as much threats as they and start selling only the updated version of this product

That second solution though would be HORRENDOUS for the environment though, for the average person would most likely just throw it away rather than recycle it properly (via a tech recycling center). Your first one though is also redundant, because like Arun said in the video, speaker-less AirTags are being sold, meaning that the feature would just be bypassed in the same way.

@@lucastillej0 Hence the need to block third party repairs. And to get a new AirTag, you would be required to return the old one. I just can’t stand to see the idea die, it is so handy, there are just a few bugs to be worked out.

This kind of ruins a significant use in the case of theft of a backpack or bag. I wouldn't upgrade, and thanks to the replaceable battery, I needn't to either.

@@Lauren_C You are correct there, hadn’t thought of that. My boss uses them to track his trucks, in the event one would be stolen, thing is, the AirTag may notify them if their using an iPhone after 8 hrs anyway. 😕

The anti track feature does work after 24 hrs. I bought an airtag to track my own bike and I use an Android phone. I setup the air tag with my iPad and was already disappointed to find out iPad doesn't support UWB. On the 2nd day, the airtag keeps beeping when I use it to bike to classes. Although I was carrying my iPad with the Bluetooth on. I think the air tag thinks my android phone is being followed (the Bluetooth on my phone is also on) so it doesn't stop beeping until I remove the battery. I returned the airtag the following day. Definitely don't get an airtag if you're using an Android phone.
