@@jaakkotahtela123 They get a notification when they arrive at their house. Apple made it in a way that you're not notified until you get to your house. Cuz Apple also want to make sure you're really being tracked and it's not just a coincidence.

@@Bracksy personally for me it’s AirTags. you can lose them just about anywhere and find them when ANY apple device comes near by. That’s great news considering tile wint be able to find your lost stuff until another tile user stumbles across them. Also the fact that tile is constantly tracking my location is a little scary. Apple has said that they don’t know any information about the airtags like their location and any personal info- it’s all private and inaccessible to them. So for the privacy aspect and the fact that there will be many more phones around to find my stuff, I returned my tiles and bought airtags instead :)

[@YoanIgnatov]

13:02 I guess these differences are due to how popular iPhone is in US. In my country, Samsung is way more used than iPhones, so this "experiment" could have different result in non US area. Personally, even as Apple user, I kind of like Samsung's tracker the most. Great video tho 👍🏼

Great review. For a dollar more for the smart tag you are getting a lot more built-in to it then the other's. And you don't need to spend 35 dollars or more to attach the smart tag or the tile. Even if you go 3rd party your still spending more money for the air tags.

[@1993rufus]

Cool vid but you failed to mention the emergency contact message that can be programed by pressing the Smart Tag button, i know you mentioned theb custom button but sending an emergency message is pretty good to know. the standard Tag has a similar tracking animation to the airtags but uses the signal strength to guide you if ur getting closer. The Plus one offers the same tracking with UWB and uses the camera and AR to help you find it! Cost wise, they balance out, you still need to purchase $5-20 accessories to hang it on your keys with the Air tags

[@markedwards4879]

Having had a tile, the network of IOS devices is the biggest draw card for the air tag. Admittedly we were given the tile a few years ago but it simply didn’t work. Relying on others having the app and having it running meant that it was effectively useless. I’m thinking about some air tags for luggage simply because of the ability to lever millions of apple devices that are out and about all of the time. As others have also pointed out, the idea of paying a subscription also kills the advantages of the others. I’m also unlikely to put a tag on my keys. Over the years I’ve managed to reduce the keys that I carry down to the car key fob and house key only, and want less in my pocket, not more. I even leave the garage door opener in the car so that I don’t have to carry it, and have an app on my phone to open the garage with Bluetooth if I don’t have the key handy. I’m looking forward to using the phone as a key for my car in future to eliminate that too.

Just as I thought, AirTags will probably update a farther distance in a few yrs, just like Tile which their second upgrade was finally 100 yards.

[@seansull]

I kindof agree. I think that Bluetooth 5 being released definitely helped tile get that extra range but with no new “big” Bluetooth releases after BT 5, I don’t know how much better the tech can get. Maybe apple can design a case that almost resembles an antenna which could help its range though, I’m not an expert in how the signal tech in these works tho. My biggest gripe is just how quiet the speaker is. Should be way louder

I had the AirTag like 5 miles away and it still found it. But that only works if there are random iphones nearby to ping it off of.

@@alexandercrush the point they’re trying to make is the radius of the actual Bluetooth connection. I put the AirTag in a park and went for a walk and it didn’t get pinged once from the amount of people who walked in the area, it didn’t even get pinged until I was like 30ft away. The range isn’t actually that good with AirTags so it really needs to be in a busy area to get a ping.

[@shuttzi9878]

Yall are aware that AirTags can basically be a stalking device for people right? They only needed for it to have a range of 300-500ft at maximum. Instead they gave u 50ft bluetootg range BUT also being able to track it down in another state because of range furthering, this is such a cheap stalker tool its not even funny. There should be a limit of 500ft even with furthering, otherwise its just dangerous.

[@callumshell]

I'd love to get an AirTag to use on my bike, but the "anti-stalking" feature Apple implemented makes it completely useless for items that could be stolen. If the thief has an iPhone, and chances are they will, they'll be notified that the item they stole has an AirTag in it, allowing them to throw it away so you'll never see your item again. Tile doesn't have this feature, but their tracking is worse. I live in a rural area so I would be hesitant to put my faith in it. I'm basically forced to shell out for an expensive GPS tracker.

[@Bflo23]

You could use one of your old cheap old smartphone and lower the volume to silent. I hid a thin smartphone underneath the bottom padding in the bolted Topeak trunk bag on my commuter hybrid bike. It is a gps and isn’t just a Bluetooth tracker. The con with the gps is that you need to charge it more often vs these Bluetooth trackers. A phone also isn’t expensive bike gps with fees…. Even if you put a tile or AirTag on a bike, they can still be found by a thief…. As for airtag, people have removed the speaker and the following feature notice is supposed to be after 3 days so you got 3 days to find your bike. When the thief leaves the bike, the tracker wouldn’t be following the thief’s iPhone anymore.

Wonder when AirTags Max are gonna come out lol

[@darylcheshire1618]

The iphone 8 plus does not have the U1 chip so it can only find the Airtag from map mode. You don’t get the green arrow mode which relies on the ultra wide bandwidth of the later model iphones.

With tile, my tile set that I got a couple years ago, the slim ones, you can’t change out the battery. And after so long they are not usable at all. I also was annoyed with anything pressing on the tile it self set off the alert. Airtags coming in to replace.

[@5stxr.kixn1]

Just wanted to mention that tile just parented with amazon so they might have a good network this time

I like my smart tags. Although samsung smart tags doesn't seem to be as good but they also have a fine my feature as well that you did not reference in the video. I have Samsung smart tags and they have a similar find my feature in the app, would have been nice to see you demo that as well but thanks for the comparison. I've been looking forward to seeing something like this

Is is possible the Airtags sound volume is based on how far they are from the phone? For example if they are in the other room they may actually be louder.

[@yafarajallah4636]

Maybe

Do Airtags work in reverse? That is: suppose I walk away with an Airtag and forget my iPhone behind. Will Airtag automatically alarm/beep to let me know I forgot my phone?

[@nani4906]

Button on SmartTag is so useful. Set short press to changing sound mode to vibration/mute and hold to start my spotify playlist when im in my car, since sometimes it doesnt start. That way I dont need to use my phone while driving

[@smartyyy2323]

Thank you . like for Angelica .

[@calebbossert8090]

Props to Samsung as well for using the least amount of packaging materials. Look at all the space Apple wastes, ouch!! Also the Air Tag doesn't come with a keyhole, you have to buy another $15-30 accessory to attach it to a bag or key ring.

Honest Comparison I like it

[@TheFotoGuys]

The second he said that tile needs subscription to get all features, Apple AirTag won over that one for me. I absolutely HATE! subscriptions for every little things that absolutely do NOT need to have a subscription service. Like for example games (mobile apps), basically almost every functional apps (camera apps, picture editing apps, etc.), light systems, wifi radiator thermostats, etc. They should not have subscriptions.

[@walkingguy6409]

@Keion Tremael Davis paying 540 for 5 years, with 35 for tile + 5 for 4 batteries and 500 for subscription vs paying 35 for 5 years is a big difference.

We have one in the UK called "Curve" which is a true GPS tracker, with a sim card built in. The only issue is that it's got a £2 a month subscription and you have to recharge it every seven days.

[@xTremeApple69]

The AirTag sound is made by vibrating the white part. It’s way quieter because the white side is facing the table preventing it from vibrating well ;)

[@nightryder21]

That's some bad design.

[@cuuppaajoe]

Nothing worse than running late for something and realizing you’ve misplaced your bike.

[@discoveryov243]

If your bike were stolen, the AirTags actually have a huge advantage over Tile in that every Apple device that supports Find My (iPhone, Mac, iPad, etc) and is connected to the internet is part of the "network" and can help you track down your item. Tile also has this, but only if people have the Tile app installed. You can see how Apple has a natural advantage there...

@@discoveryov243 Agreed!

I would like to get one of these products for my car. I am 66 years old. About half the time when I go to Costco or shopping mall I forget where I park my car. Can devices like these help me find my car faster. Obviously I know the sound won’t do it, but would I be able to look at the screen on my iPhone like a GPS device.

[@yuyangwu5608]

According to another youtuber, iPhone actually use Bluetooth when doing the precision finding and only enable U1 chip when the distance is less than 10 meters (33 fts); Could you please test airtag with iPhone XR or earlier to see if it could still do the precision finding when the distance is between 10 meters (33 fts) and 50 meters (164 fts)? thank you

[@dc99yt]

On my iPhone8 plus, the “Find” button is replaced by “Directions”,even when I am next to the AirTag. I think Apple simply disables precision find on all non-U1 chip iPhones/iPads.

[@SNUSNUU]

@@dc99yt I don't think it's disabled, it requires the U1 chip in both the phone and AirTag to get that exact location. iPhone X and earlier don't have it.
