A thief stole my bike! After attempting to have my Bike, Keys and Wallet stolen a month ago, I decided I would continue my efforts to better understand how well Apple's AirTag works. This is the follow up video from that initial experiment. Enjoy!

Along with telling the iphone of its presence it will also make an audible noise so you can find it.

Thanks for the Video! So I recently received an AirTag 4-pack as a gift and immediately put one on my Keyring and one on my Bike. I thought of putting one in my wallet but thought to myself, "I never lose my wallet!" A few days later, I had tempted fate far too much and, sure enough, couldn't find my wallet. I finally found it on the cushion of my chair but thought to myself. An AirTag would have made that a lot easier to find. After testing some wallets, I found the best quality from one of the websites that I tried. The wallet is made of good material and is durable. It fits my four cards in the middle with two additional cards on the side and any spare case. It isn't too bulky.

The earlier you buy a Supersparpreis ticket, the less it will cost. When you buy a Sparpreis ticket only two days or so before your journey it will cost nearly as much as a normal ticket (Flexpreis). But if you buy your ticket couple of weeks before the trip it is a lot cheaper. The negative side on Supersparpreis is, that you have „Zugbindung“, that means that you have a specific train which you must use. You cannot use a train an hour earlier or later. Furthermore you can't cancel the trip.

*A huge problem with the AirTag is it alerts the thief that someone is pinging the tag. This is how the bike rider knew you were looking for him. Remove the speakers from the AirTag and you can catch a Thief in action. Also, the person can check his iPhone, and it would tell him that that AirTag is being tracked! So, much for the AirTag being that useful. I suspect the person that stole the keys was trolling you, since he could hear every time the AirTag was being pinged and then zip back inside and have a good laugh at your expense.*

This^ I wish apple would made a clear onscreen animation because not only is it for the AR purposes but it’s also because your movement helps build a reference to where the signal is the strongest and moving around helps point each of the antennas for it to reference. I found when testing my airtags in my car (big heavily shielded Volvo wagon) that just swaying left to right 45 degrees each direction a few times it pops up. And also like this video indicates have to be pretty close for it to figure it out. Sometimes the signal can go very far too, other times it only goes a short distance, probably part of the beaconing and power saving, every so often it beacons out a stronger signal trying desperately to connect to something for a few signal bursts. I picked up my keys from deep within my house on the outside a few times, and other times I have to basically open my front door to get a connection. I would put money on it that those keys where actually in a car on the side of the street based on my experience.

@@lumberjackdreamer6267 I would love to scope it, and see myself. I don’t have the hardware like a scope to know for sure but based on what I seen with my airtag and my iPhone 12 Pro Max it seems like maybe somewhat constant low energy signal as connections can be made super fast if your close without obstructions, but seems to be bursts every few seconds because if further back can be a short delay before a connection is established even if by other iPhones not yours. Defiantly seems to be as well that once a connection is established that its a stronger signal and holds it better and airtag once loses connection doesn’t instantly drop in signal intensity. seems to be a short time where it will keep trying before going back to low energy.

Well SmartTag has a button you can program (with a bit of trickery to do pretty much anything) so that's a plus. AirTags have NFC tho which is very helpful

@@andrewsantos2927 Not in a cage. But just inside. And it's not because it's deaf. I think that of any cat. And do you think the best option is to let the cat roam and kill a lot of wildlife like birds, squirrels, bunnies, and many other things? Also, cats can be mean. I know people who have been attacked by cats. Why do you think it's okay for a non native domestic cat to go do whatever it wants? Also, it's probably not safe. Cats are often snatched by coyotes.

One of them was at the opposite of the city. I jumped in my car, found the police and I’ve been able to take my bike back 😍 so thanks youtube algorithm for showing me your video and thanks airtags.

It's probably worth remembering that Apple does not really suggest that Airtag is for finding stolen items, more casually lost things. So anything like you've been trying is a bonus - just a rather sweet one if you do recover something - like you say - improving the odds of recovering but not an expectation it was designed for that.

I have 2 airtags, one for my keys and one for testing… my area doesn’t have a high number of iOS users, it’s also fairly rural area. I parked my second car somewhere random in a parking lot near a main road and hid an airtag inside. I found between too rural/low density of iOS users and being inside the car means only get very rare update. I had a friend move the car, he doesn’t have an iPhone/iOS devices so only updates would been from random people with latest iOS update and sure enough randomly got location updates… so not entirely useless even in this area which has sparse iOS users, it’s not ideal but could defiantly aid in recovering property. I also had him take my car with airtag on a vacation trip, my beach house which is in a wealthier class area so lot more potential of iOS users. Sure enough on the route I was getting plenty of random updates of location, enough that could defiantly track him good enough not as good or as regular as “find my friends” but good enough that I didn’t feel like I was missing anything. probably cars nearby and as he approached the beach house area location updates got a lot more common and accurate! To the point where I could guessed his exact parking spot!

Back in 2002 I was in school for product design. As part of a proof-of-concept project I put a vinyl sticker on my bike notifying readers that the bike was being tracked by satellite. It was a bluff, as that tech wasn't consumer available at the time obviously, but that bike never got stolen. Two others I had at the time did get stolen. Kinda neat that this is a legit product now. Sadly a lot of the projects I did at the time got moderate/poor grades because they were too high concept; that is to say, the infrastructure to make them work didn't exist. They included ideas such as the bike GPS, a portable media player/map combo device (also for bikes), and a fresh-ingredient on-demand delivery service (which now of course we kind of have with Uber/DoorDash.) Frustrating sometimes to think what could have been.
