This is a user to user only forum. No one from Apple is here. Since none of us work for Apple no one here could possibly answer why Ultra Wideband is not available in Argentina. All we can tell you is it isn't.


Clearly noted in the Related Article from the top of this page is the following:


Ultra Wideband isn't available in all countries or regions and is subject to international regulatory requirements that require it to be turned off in certain locations. You should ask your government why they don't allow UWB. Apple has NOTHING to do with governmental regulations in Argentina at all.

well, let me tell you that that’s not true, because the problem is that apple didn’t register the airtags in Argentina and others like Samsung, Sony, Xiaomi did. The law in Argentina says that the product that use uwb must be registered in the country. Instead of registering the airtags, Apple decides to do nothing but putting Argentina in a list of countries that airtags doesn’t work because local laws. It’s time for Apple to think in all of users that lives in different country’s like US or Uk, because I’m user of Apple since 2011 and they never treat us equally.

im attaching Argentina’s regulation law
