Google says its own tracker ecosystem is on hold until iOS has the same protection.

    I know a few people that hide them in their bike frames. Will it tell bike thieves that the tag hidden in the stolen bike is following them?

      They’re not anti theft devices. Never were. They are anti losing my shit devices.

      Slap one on your keys, wallet, etc, and when you lose them, you can track them to see where they ended up falling out of your pocket.

      If you want a tracking device, pay for one. They’ll use a SIM card, be undetectable, and track perfectly without needing a network of phones.

      I think the solution to this problem is embedding the tag into the frame in such a way that removing it would be destructive or at least highly impractical. That’s my plan at least. Waiting for my Chipolo trackers to arrive.
