Well if you own one then no and if you know someone then probably not. Plus it would cost cents to make a case vs dollars. That is if you have filament and a printer or know someone. Plus I know that I have left over filament that isn’t enough for a usual print but would be fine for a small case
I love that you end your videos with a good solid "bye". Some UA-cam personalities have lengthy or awkward closers that I end up skipping or poking fun at, but not you. Well played Jimmy.
Nice review, but I don't understand why the complaints about "HIDDEN" costs. There's no subscription price like with the Tile and besides, you state that the cheapest holder for it is $9, while you show a page from Amazon that shows one at $5.50! Anyone can get a tile and an Apple holder for less than one year with the Tile. And no more costs after that, visible or hidden!
Tile is also free to use. The Premium feature came for free with a year trial during many sales but if it didn't it come for free it costs $29.99 and it included smart alert, battery replacement, unlimited sharing, 30 day location history, free tracker replacements with damage and up to $100 warranty if your item isn't found. Apple doesn't offer all those features for free or at all. I have the premium feature as it came free with my tile pro 2022. I use some premium features but I wouldn't pay for it.
@@user-dx8br5vb3n I don’t think that is what’s happening but rather Apple hooking you up on there drug. So next time you consider buying hardware, where their services are native and work even better. Resulting in you being more likely to buy more from Apple.
I have purchased 5 tile products over time and use them a lot to help alert me to what room I have left my keys in. I have also used the Apple find my iphone service so I can make some comparisons. Tile product is good, I would buy more, as for Apple tags, I am open to the idea of getting one to evaluate. Tile website and app are dated and with Apple entering the market I hope this will put pressure on Tile to lift their game. Competition is good for business and this will result in better product for us end consumer. Tile Marketing could also do more on their website to sell the benefit of their product, I have no idea how many tile users are in my area, even if it is a monthly average where we know there are a lot of iphones around.
“It depends” - I love it! I went and grabbed one & inserted it inside the frame of my bike (carbon frame). It works just as advertised. I have friends who have installed them in electric bikes, with alloy frames & report great results also. Great video, thanks for the update!
A big problem with the airtag is that notifies the bike thief with beeps and phone notifications. If the thief arrive to their home address on their apple ID, it will give them a notification that they have a tracker on them. If the tracker is away from its owner's iphone in 8-24 hours, it will give off beeps and notifications to the thief. It has actually been reduced from the 3 days for stalker reasons and car theft reasons. Apple don't want to be liable for any criminal cases.
@@Bflo23 the thing there is, you should be able to show apple the stolen item report and have them pass on the details for the phone that found your tag to the police, so they can go and check the location and their addresses.
@@mrljgibson Too much extra work for Apple to be dealing with the police reports and calling the police. They don't want to dealing with the police for stolen phones or stolen airtags. The user should notify the police of the situation and where the Apple airtag is located. Sometimes it is located in a large tall apartment building and it is pretty much impossible to find the exact apartment number location. Unfortunately I don't think police take bike thefts seriously even if it expensive bike.
@@Bflo23 you have to take into account, data protection, legal permissions, confidentiality. But yeah, your property and you have the right to retrieve it. Though if it's like some certain cases with airlines where they say your luggage is lost, you know where your lost luggage is. But they already donated it to the 'charity' that handles the left luggage. Waiting for those law suites. 🤣
Great review. However, I also disagree with your conclusion that it’s more expensive than Tile. Because some of the premium features you get for free with AirTag (unlimited sharing with family). Plus I only spent like 5 dollars for a cheap Amazon keychain. Which literally brings the start up price the same as Tile.
I tried to find my car keys with an air tag in the house and was disappointed at how much walking around I did for it to get a signal. Their use is best in crowded situations like airports/concerts/stadiums and not for affixing to the family Labrador for when it gets lost in the woods. eBay provides cheap holders @ £2.49 each. If you buy expensive holders your main use of the tags will be in tracking the holders. It would also be useful to be able to share air tag locations with family members as like the dog some items are not owner specific. Remember you can also obtain GPS trackers that are fairly cheap, tell you where they are when you ping them and might be a better alternative for your needs.
The problem with GPS trackers is that they need signal and line of sight, if your pet goes to ground it might not be possible, plus they tend to be battery hungry, I'd rather have something far more power conscious in case it takes a long time to track them down, plus the localised find feature to give an idea of direction is a winner as actually finding them can still be a challenge. I know this having thought my cat had run off only to find her yesterday, a week later, hiding in our living room, and she left no clues until then.
I'm surprised that nobody talks about the tracking network itself. I find that part most problematic. It seems one can choose to disable the network settings under 'Find my iphone' but it's on by default. There was no explicit warning (after upgrade) that your phone will be participating on an airtag hunt.
Soooo does Random people get alerts and directions with someones else Air tag is ? Not everyone is gonna txt the person and till them hey u lost your backpack he might just take it and throw the airtag away 🤔 is that possible is my question
Good video👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I know now I have little use for this tracker. Prior to your video, I thought I was missing out on something essential. You’ve saved me $100. Thank you.
Let me tell you why this terrifies me having some experience with human trafficking. If someone was going to abduct you, say they pick you out at the mall, they can attach this to you and wait for YOU to come to them. Whether that be a parking a lot, a dark alley whatever. Or they can easily follow you back to your place and plan what to do from there. Three days is absurdly long because in three days they will learn your whole routine, they will understand more then enough to effectively do what they want. Whole idea of such a simple tracker that has nearly zero ways to identify who actually owns them and can be bought easily and cheaply is troubling at best. Stay safe ya'll, always know your surroundings.
I won't buy an airtag anyways w/ an android phone but I've gotta say, if you have a stalker this is not the only tool that stalker will use. One can get better GPS trackers or other live trackers for cheap or just follow you anyways. I don't think that stalking people with this device should be a huge concern.
Something to think about. One should be careful about who rides in your car. Someone could leave a tag under your seat and track your whereabouts. Scary!
With 3 days, Apple have actually given Mass murderers & Pedo's another open door to stalk their prey.I predict this being top news VERY SOON as Victims are found with Apple tags about their person.
@@Wayneawebb i dont think an apple air tag will be a deciding factor for a murderer, I’m pretty sure that will take all the fun out of it for them anyways, too easy.
That beeper can be disconnected tho. Also I've already seen people uploading custom firmware into tags that can open various links when you scan it. They might become a serious threat in the future.
@@jaimetan If someone wants to stalk you they have soo many better options to do that. 10 min update time if you are moving is a long time. And even the fact that it will eventually alert you is a deterrent
@@collan580 The less number of things a stalker has to track me, the better tbh. Even if they have 500 ways to track me I don't want to actively increase that to 501 or more cause most people are definitely not using just 1 AirTag.
Nope lol would be hard pressed to find any mention of trafficking concerns for the near-decade that Tile has had a passive tracking-network. In most major cities there’s multiple Tiles per your average block and this exact issue exists.
Technically yes. The airtag can potentially tracked by 50% of all phones in the US (apple marketshare). The tile app is on about 7% of all phones in the US and therefore has a much smaller user base.
So, basically, if your partner is not using an iPhone, you could track the whereabouts at will, since, normally, you will be around your partner, and thus your AirTag more than a few times within 3 days... Which should result in the AirTag not ringing since it is around the owner's device for some time?
▪ I was thinking of getting air tag for my bike incase someone steals it one day,, but if they have the app,, then it renders it pointless, and I will have bought an apple watch and tag [330 bucks] for no reason... So I can either buy it and just hope any potential future crook doesn't have the apple and the app, OR I could go with tile... or samsung tracking ... Hmm, what to do... 🟥
This makes me more confident that Apple Air Tag is a good addition to my system. I will keep my Tile though because I need different things at different times. Thanks for a great review!
From my own experience, I'm a little underwhelmed. I bought the tags, firstly out of curiosity, and secondly to act as a 'kind' of tracker should my expensive (for me anyway) electric bike be stolen. So my problem - as soon as the tag is concealed I'm lucky if I can get more than 10 feet away before I lose its signal. If I want precision tracking, well, I literally have to be right on top of it.
In Germany you can buy silicone cover for it (the non-leather model in navy-blue) for 29.99 eur including airtag which is actually cheaper than the airtag itself so maybe it's smth about amazon? or was i lucky
Pretty much the same thing said by every reviewer. There’s even a review comparing the Amazon, Samsung and Apple devices. Samsung’s louder, Amazon has more range, Apple is more water proof and has the better network. If you have an iPhone 11 or newer then get the Air tag otherwise currently the other devices have there own advantages. That’s if you need or want a small tracking device for your items.
You can get cheap Accesories from aliexpress that are similar to the official ones but way cheaper... So that's not a big deal if you think abt it. Imo, for iPhone users this will be the go to tracker, no doubt about that.
As time goes by more companies will make accessories for them and they will end up super cheap still cheaper then tile imo..not only that but no need for extra apps etc etc and it’s Apple the find me feature is really good..
If price comes into play, I think the HIGH FREQUENCY at which the Tile goes ON SALE should be mentioned. I got 4 Tiles for $40 last Black Friday, and that's $10 each, a third the price of an AirTag. I got THREE Tiles for the price of one Apple AirTag. AirTags ain't EVER going on sale, though.
Honestly my wife and I bought 2 of them and one for her phone keys and me because I walk to exercise with my dog and have epilepsy so if I were to have a seizure we thought it would be a great way to see where I could be from the last location from my airtag used as a bracelet or just around my belt loop so it won’t fall off from me. Where I live, it’s a nice track home area with an elementary shook within 2 blocks away and with all these houses almost everyone has an iPhone so we were thinking it’ll help if I were to collapse into a seizure those iPhones would be helpful in pinging my last location to help finding me
It is nothing dangerus or strange or scarry that locator locates! It is scary that thef will know how to get rid of it. Only what have to do is set his home in Apple ID like middle odf forest - then go to that location with stolen things, disable everything and gone. There are 10 000 other locators (most with real GPS) on market and that was never a problem of stalking disputed. It is like there is a problem with knifes cose they are sharp :/ And it is anty thieft device - Apple advertise is as for bikes. Bikes do not lose them selfs like keys, they went stolen. Thats real stupid idea to inform thef 3 days later. Maby 50 days where new owner have your stolen bike, but not 3 when there is 100% probability that thief will hide it for month in basement and sell later!
Question; I have a race car that just sits on a trailer and is uninsured (it's a race car and not street legal) can I throw an Airtag in the car and be able to find it if stolen?
I believe after this review and wanting to know what an “Air Tag” is. I don’t think I will bother with it. As long as you remember where you place your keys within a certain distance, good chance you will find them yourself. As far as the phone is concerned, I already have 2 different ways to track them for free. This does nothing when it comes to theft and all this cost is just a way to waste money on crap you may never really have a use for. It may help you find your keys, but then again most of us tend to find them ourselves after a little searching. Thanks for the video, helping me understand this and save a few bucks.
I think of luggage, a bicycle or auto if you don’t have a LoJack type device. When I baby sit my niece and nephew, I’d put one in their pockets for added security. For my usage I wouldn’t need a holder, so the airtag seems like a good choice. Like most items, there is nothing fits everyone’s needs.
No, if you air tag your bag the last thing you want to do is make it visible, if anything it would be great if it was just built into things so it was too much trouble to steal.
i feel like if i just want to put this one my tiny house key it would end up looking weird because it would literally have the same mass as about 5 of my house keys
I initially thought that $30 was WITH the loop, and thought that was stupidly cheap for an apple product, then I looked it up and lmao no. Would much rather drill a hole in the cover and use that to attach it to things. Not that I do have a use for the tags, but I looked into them anyway.
If you have an IOS device with 14.5 then get an airtag. If you want something for your wallet you kind of only have tile. I have had tile and my wallet fell out of my pockets. The tile never updated the address for over 17 hours. I'll say after 8 years and different product categories the tile still won't keep up with the airtag if you use apple devices.
Thanks bro!! I didn't know these are just compatible with iPhone 11 and higher, I mean for the precision finding feature. I'm not gonna buy them for now ;)
Had the tile for well over year and a half. The amount of time I was able to use it for tracking...ZERO. Why, because the Tile wants you to pay a monthly fee, to use the "feature" that it sells you on. F the few dollar price for an "accessory", Tile wants to charge you forever. So, out of the gate, I had my wife remove the Tile from her purse. Surprise, the battery was dead. Why, because I could never use it. Gave her the airtag, and in minutes was using the "precise location" in the house. Works great. But can it really TRACK where that purse goes. YES. She was out all day yesterday, and while i could tell the tracker only updates every few minutes, I was able to know where she was as she moved from errand to errand. This gives me hope, that if her purse is lost or stolen, it can possibly be recovered. While this review is decent, the nuetral position is crap. Buy the airtag as there is NO infinite upcharge for "premium service" which is exactly the service you are expecting to already have paid for.
I am not really sure about the accessory topic... : For my keys... maybe a keychain is ok... but... If I want to protect my bag against potential thief... I will try to hide the tag... just because if the thief see the tag it's so easy to take it off the bag and throw it into the trash...
NEVER MIND the malicious intent of other people! Let's pretend we live in a world where any random person you come across is guaranteed to be the nicest person ever. Ignoring that, is NOBODY bothered by the fact that Apple is getting some EXTREMELY intimate private data from you? And that YOU are paying THEM to give them that data? At the very least, Apple should be paying YOU 🤦
It's disturbing how little the new generation cares about their privacy. They have an almost complete dependence and trust in technology due to being raised on it.
Airtags are worth every penny!! Also there are plenty of airtag cases which are way cheaper than $9.99. You made this video sounded like you wanted to portray that airtags are more expensive than tiles which is not true at all!
I’ve had Tile(s) sine 2018 (no Tile membership). I’ve located my luggage at lost and found after an airport screw-up, attached them to keys (mostly), briefcase, wallet (no longer), and tried it for a jacket. Haven’t had to use them much, but they’re worth it when I need to locate a misplaced item. Annoyed with needing to buy an accessory to use an Airtag…pass
I really don't think the accessories is a big deal. I would really only want it for vehicle theft protection so I would just stick it somewhere in a car. No accessory needed.
Today is an opportunity to make the most of each moment. Make the most of every opportunity, and don't let anything pass you by. Make the most of your time and resources, and you'll be sure to have a successful and productive day.
My god, enough. It’s an air tag to find something. You guys are going to ruin it for everyone. If it’s on my purse and it’s stolen, I want it back and I’d love to tell the police where it is. If they have my purse, bad on them. This isn’t the only tool to track someone. You guys are going to screw it up for the honest people.
3d printing air tag accessories is probably the way to go

Have one in each of my vehicles and glued on expensive work tools. You bet I would come get them and the thief would have a very bad day.
love the intro bro, the script was very catchy and great
From my own experience, I'm a little underwhelmed. I bought the tags, firstly out of curiosity, and secondly to act as a 'kind' of tracker should my expensive (for me anyway) electric bike be stolen. So my problem - as soon as the tag is concealed I'm lucky if I can get more than 10 feet away before I lose its signal. If I want precision tracking, well, I literally have to be right on top of it.
Where did you put the airtag? The signal is weak if blocked by aluminum. So the underside of the saddle is more suited.
In Germany you can buy silicone cover for it (the non-leather model in navy-blue) for 29.99 eur including airtag which is actually cheaper than the airtag itself so maybe it's smth about amazon? or was i lucky
How’s the tile managed the stalking issue?
Not at all . There is no proper fix, at least Apple tries
you asked what we would we them for.... I've considered getting one for an expensive push bike and the other for my motorbike.
This only works if you have the latest iPhone too.
what would stop someone from stalking people with a tile as well? why is there only concern about air tags?
Yes let Apple sell their stalking device just like those other companies.
Where did you get that backpack and what brand is it?
So far you are the only person to give a break down like this thank you keep up the good work 👍🏾👊🏾
Pretty much the same thing said by every reviewer. There’s even a review comparing the Amazon, Samsung and Apple devices. Samsung’s louder, Amazon has more range, Apple is more water proof and has the better network. If you have an iPhone 11 or newer then get the Air tag otherwise currently the other devices have there own advantages.
That’s if you need or want a small tracking device for your items.
So when I find an item with one, I just remove the battery an jack the item 👍🏻
You can get cheap Accesories from aliexpress that are similar to the official ones but way cheaper... So that's not a big deal if you think abt it. Imo, for iPhone users this will be the go to tracker, no doubt about that.
As time goes by more companies will make accessories for them and they will end up super cheap still cheaper then tile imo..not only that but no need for extra apps etc etc and it’s Apple the find me feature is really good..
What does it do when it’s in lost mode though?
If price comes into play, I think the HIGH FREQUENCY at which the Tile goes ON SALE should be mentioned. I got 4 Tiles for $40 last Black Friday, and that's $10 each, a third the price of an AirTag. I got THREE Tiles for the price of one Apple AirTag.
AirTags ain't EVER going on sale, though.
Yes, but have you tested their effectiveness over distance?
Honestly my wife and I bought 2 of them and one for her phone keys and me because I walk to exercise with my dog and have epilepsy so if I were to have a seizure we thought it would be a great way to see where I could be from the last location from my airtag used as a bracelet or just around my belt loop so it won’t fall off from me. Where I live, it’s a nice track home area with an elementary shook within 2 blocks away and with all these houses almost everyone has an iPhone so we were thinking it’ll help if I were to collapse into a seizure those iPhones would be helpful in pinging my last location to help finding me
It is nothing dangerus or strange or scarry that locator locates! It is scary that thef will know how to get rid of it. Only what have to do is set his home in Apple ID like middle odf forest - then go to that location with stolen things, disable everything and gone. There are 10 000 other locators (most with real GPS) on market and that was never a problem of stalking disputed. It is like there is a problem with knifes cose they are sharp :/
And it is anty thieft device - Apple advertise is as for bikes. Bikes do not lose them selfs like keys, they went stolen. Thats real stupid idea to inform thef 3 days later. Maby 50 days where new owner have your stolen bike, but not 3 when there is 100% probability that thief will hide it for month in basement and sell later!
So much quality content on this channel 🙌🏻!
Speaking of privacy concerns, wouldn't that also include data for advertising?
Hi, can you tell us if you can know if a tile is tracking you also ????
If a tile is put into lost mode then yes the tile community will be used to locate it. Well that is the information they give me on the app.
You should definitely "loose" something and then see how quickly you get it back.
I lost my phone, airbag didn't do anything
Question; I have a race car that just sits on a trailer and is uninsured (it's a race car and not street legal) can I throw an Airtag in the car and be able to find it if stolen?
In the other comments he says has to be closed to it unless there’s another iPhone near by to detent your air tag and should tell you where it is
I believe after this review and wanting to know what an “Air Tag” is. I don’t think I will bother with it. As long as you remember where you place your keys within a certain distance, good chance you will find them yourself. As far as the phone is concerned, I already have 2 different ways to track them for free. This does nothing when it comes to theft and all this cost is just a way to waste money on crap you may never really have a use for. It may help you find your keys, but then again most of us tend to find them ourselves after a little searching. Thanks for the video, helping me understand this and save a few bucks.
This will definitely help Edp get his cup cake
I think of luggage, a bicycle or auto if you don’t have a LoJack type device. When I baby sit my niece and nephew, I’d put one in their pockets for added security. For my usage I wouldn’t need a holder, so the airtag seems like a good choice. Like most items, there is nothing fits everyone’s needs.
Long term review when the battery dies out. How about that ?
Sounds like a good idea.
Apple says it last one year
Just got a 4 pack yesterday and it’s useful for the small things I lose.
No, if you air tag your bag the last thing you want to do is make it visible, if anything it would be great if it was just built into things so it was too much trouble to steal.
I like how when you find a lost airtag, it gives instructions on how to disable and reset it hahaha
i feel like if i just want to put this one my tiny house key it would end up looking weird because it would literally have the same mass as about 5 of my house keys
I know the feeling! Maybe in a year or two they'll make an "airtag mini" similar to tile. Tear-downs suggest there's plenty of space inside.
its called aliexpress and you can find a 4 pack of keyholders for 3$
I initially thought that $30 was WITH the loop, and thought that was stupidly cheap for an apple product, then I looked it up and lmao no.
Would much rather drill a hole in the cover and use that to attach it to things.
Not that I do have a use for the tags, but I looked into them anyway.
These things are nuts. Thanks Jimmy.
Thanks, very good detailed review as usual!!
The cheapest accessory is a double-sided adhesive pad which you can buy on Amazon for $7 per pack of 120.
There are quite a lot of cheap AirTag accesories available on eBay/Amazon axis.
Get a small drill bit and drill a hole in it and them attach toa keychain👌
Then it’s not IP67 waterproof!
If you have an IOS device with 14.5 then get an airtag. If you want something for your wallet you kind of only have tile. I have had tile and my wallet fell out of my pockets. The tile never updated the address for over 17 hours. I'll say after 8 years and different product categories the tile still won't keep up with the airtag if you use apple devices.
Well you can get 4 tile mates for 50€
Does stalking actually happen irl? Never heard of an actual person outside a movie being stalked.
Thanks bro!! I didn't know these are just compatible with iPhone 11 and higher, I mean for the precision finding feature. I'm not gonna buy them for now ;)
Had the tile for well over year and a half. The amount of time I was able to use it for tracking...ZERO. Why, because the Tile wants you to pay a monthly fee, to use the "feature" that it sells you on. F the few dollar price for an "accessory", Tile wants to charge you forever. So, out of the gate, I had my wife remove the Tile from her purse. Surprise, the battery was dead. Why, because I could never use it. Gave her the airtag, and in minutes was using the "precise location" in the house. Works great. But can it really TRACK where that purse goes. YES. She was out all day yesterday, and while i could tell the tracker only updates every few minutes, I was able to know where she was as she moved from errand to errand. This gives me hope, that if her purse is lost or stolen, it can possibly be recovered. While this review is decent, the nuetral position is crap. Buy the airtag as there is NO infinite upcharge for "premium service" which is exactly the service you are expecting to already have paid for.
I am not really sure about the accessory topic... : For my keys... maybe a keychain is ok... but... If I want to protect my bag against potential thief... I will try to hide the tag... just because if the thief see the tag it's so easy to take it off the bag and throw it into the trash...
good thoughts by jack handy-lots to consider
This is definitely not a hidden cost
I made all my airtag cases for free had all the stuff i needed to do it already cost 0
Ultrawide Band only works with iPhone 11 and 12s. What a scam.
How is that a scam ?? Devices add features and get better over time .
Awesome, thorough review
3:45 Checked my phone, could hear the slightest ring tone ???
6:14 Nailed it at the reproduction of 5minute crafts my god haha
Bought a keychain from ebay for £1.29, works just as good as a real one
One billion of iPhone users, this is worth it then other tags.
Plus iPads, MacBooks etc……
I found a good holder for $4 on amazon
Remove the battery or put the airtag in a bag of chips
6:26. you can BUY expensive accessories, or you can 3D PRINT them basically for free.
NEVER MIND the malicious intent of other people! Let's pretend we live in a world where any random person you come across is guaranteed to be the nicest person ever.
Ignoring that, is NOBODY bothered by the fact that Apple is getting some EXTREMELY intimate private data from you? And that YOU are paying THEM to give them that data? At the very least, Apple should be paying YOU 🤦
It's disturbing how little the new generation cares about their privacy. They have an almost complete dependence and trust in technology due to being raised on it.
No need to pay the high price of Apple's AirTag accessories. There are plenty of inexpensive 3rd party options available.
Airtags are worth every penny!! Also there are plenty of airtag cases which are way cheaper than $9.99. You made this video sounded like you wanted to portray that airtags are more expensive than tiles which is not true at all!
I’ve had Tile(s) sine 2018 (no Tile membership). I’ve located my luggage at lost and found after an airport screw-up, attached them to keys (mostly), briefcase, wallet (no longer), and tried it for a jacket. Haven’t had to use them much, but they’re worth it when I need to locate a misplaced item. Annoyed with needing to buy an accessory to use an Airtag…pass
I really don't think the accessories is a big deal. I would really only want it for vehicle theft protection so I would just stick it somewhere in a car. No accessory needed.
It doesn’t tell you till you return home. Perfect for stalking. 🤙
Airags accesories are 2$ in Europe
Today is an opportunity to make the most of each moment. Make the most of every opportunity, and don't let anything pass you by. Make the most of your time and resources, and you'll be sure to have a successful and productive day.
I should have attached this to my iPhone 4S before I lost my phone
Ups just delivered mine😵💫
My god, enough. It’s an air tag to find something. You guys are going to ruin it for everyone. If it’s on my purse and it’s stolen, I want it back and I’d love to tell the police where it is. If they have my purse, bad on them. This isn’t the only tool to track someone. You guys are going to screw it up for the honest people.
Is shocking that apple included the battery and not proprietary.
