AirTag
Question marked as
Short answer:
Pros:
- It is a lot less expensive than a dedicated GPS tracking system, like LoJack.
- Has a battery life of around a year with normal use. Batteries are replaceable.
Cons:
- Just about useless for anything else, especially if you are considering using it to track your vehicle should it get stolen.
- Relies on Bluetooth and the Apple Find My network. (Does not use GPS.)
- Requires an iPhone within Bluetooth range of the tag to pick up the tag's Bluetooth signal. Often more difficult if you "hide" the tag.
- It will "announce" its presence to anyone in the vehicle with an iPhone. In this case, it will warn them that an AirTag is "following them."
